Bought Prior Design Kit

Wen I first wanted to buy this kit I searched and searched the web and couldnt find 1 guy with it...

I did find some reviews... bad and good.. like this guy in europe who ordered one for his R8 and spent almost 1 year fighting with that people since they always kept changing him the delivery date of the kit...

Another guy in the US who got one for his M3 and he was very happy with it.

So I thought what the heck Ill go for it since it looks so good, and theres practically no other nice looking kits for this car.

So This is the kit just presented on the car, the kit is made out of fiber glass, they say its Plastic Reinforced but basicaly just fiber glass, fitment is very good I must say, I would rate it at 9/10.., there are some things they could make better like send the grills pre cutted and the caps for the headlight washers pre cutted to.. which i think i will eliminate them since its to much of a hazzle, making them to work.. but well it is what it is...

But overall looks very good, Here are some pictures:

The kit was $5500 delivered to my country, and the C63 black series tips where $850. $6350 for kit and tips, without paint or installation.

I want to remove the lower chrome trim, and put the e550 badge in black, add v8 biturbo badges on the sides on black, paint the rear logo on black, but keep the sides chrome and the front grill too.

Ill post some pics when i have it painted and with the wheels on.

very nice..one thing I don't like is the front bumper sits higher than the side and rear. Looks not matching from side way. Do you agree too? I don't know why they have designed like this haha but anyway I've asked my local shop to add a lip so the front will look lower.

Im having 2nd thoughts on this, since the rear is less than 1inch from the tire, and i cant just lower the front.

Yes, but since the lower part of the bumper is painted in black it looks like it sits higher than it does, its not that bad.

The bumper already has a kind of lip, and it looks very aggresive i dont know how could it look with a lip added

I could only see two pics but I like it a lot man. If you removed all the chrome I think it'd be perfect! Doesn't really flow with the rest of your cars sporty appearance

I wish this so much. I feel like the stance of the car would be perfect if I could bring the front down just a little more.

more pictures.

yes you're gonna have to get coilovers and adjust the height accordingly.
or if you can find a lowering spring front , 2 inches
and rear 0.5 inch would be great!
