Looking good! Those are one of the best looking wheels for the E53.

What kind of rear spoiler is that? It doesn't look like the OEM 4.6is one.

Thanks - I wasn't sure about the chrome but the wife was!

The spolier looks kinda cool doesn't it. I simply painted the raised "spoiler" outline on the OEM bumper to simulate the 4.6 / 4.8 spolier.

Very creative solution! It's not clear in the pictures but now that you mention it, I can see it better. The only problem is that now you've got to balance it out in the front somehow. A 4.6is front spoiler might look good or perhaps the decorative skid plate in silver.

I like your creativity a lot. With those tailpipes, it looks much more compact & sporty, to me, then 4.6is spoiler/pipes!
Your might wanna throw in running boards too!

Speaking about trend! Since your so good with taping, you can maybe paint lower part of front bumper before you install the decorative skid plate. Because I think it's impossible to put plate over 4.6is front spoiler!?!? I've never seen that combination before!

Picture below is KirkX5m's variation with 4.6is front spoiler and underride guard.
Curious about your opinion?

Mike!
