Here are the pics as requested. Notice the flare on the front fender in the after running board pictures as against before. Had to buy separate set of wheel arches and discard the ones which came with R/b. In the close up pic, if you look closely, you can notice the clear bra on hood.

awesome pics. beautiful ride..

Awesome look and I think this would look great on my silver 4.4. How much?

$1100 something for running boards and flared arches. If you are not getting flared arches you can get away with $550 or so.

Looks terrific, and really completes the look.

Nicely done. :thumbup:

LeMans, it is simply stunning!! :wow: :thumbup:

Thanks everyone. On to the next mod....

Hey LeMans, sorry I had to dig up this thread because I have a question on the aluminum rbs. I have a 4.8 like you and want mine to look exactly the same, fender flares on front and rear.

I looked at the realoem link. Do I need to order every part separately? Or is there like a kit part #? And as for the flares, which ones come in the kit, and therefore will I have to order the flares separately, both front and rear? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.... :thumbup:

Yes, you will have to order all the quoted flares part #s separetely. The ones which come with running boards are without any flares. Wish they had separete kit for 4.8. :tsk: If you are in NJ, you can get from PaulmillerBMW for 25% discount. I ordered over phone and told them that I have the 25% coupon from Bimmer magazine. If you still need coupon let me know.
