Not all the way. Had to take the cover off the bottom front so I could get back there, then I loosened the grill so I could push it out of the way. I couldent figure out how to take the top of the grill off without removing the whole bumper cover. Being able to move it back was plenty enough room though.

As far as the install was, there are some things that people are good at and some things we are not. I can change a clutch with eyes closed, but I should never be allowed to vinyl anything! It looks really good from about 5 ft away, but up close.....holly bubbles batman. That is no ones fault but my own though.

Bubbles aren't a big deal, take a needle and poke the bubbles, heat from the sun will make them go away. Just don't go nuts with poking the same bubble repeatedly. One poke will be enough to let air out when the sun warms it up.

You could also take a hair dryer to it without poking holes, but it's time consuming and you could overheat the vinyl and warp it.

Well it's flat black vinyl on a mag gray car, so it's not expected to stand out too much. We used the flat black so it matches the grill better.

Been there, done that! lol, its at the bottom though so not a big deal.
And Justin, I agree completly, it is hard to see but the pic, especially that one, does not do it justice. In the sunlight it is WAY odvious that it is there, and looks great. I think it would look amazing on a white car too.

Oh nice, I saw an m3 spoiler on eBay but wasn't sure if it would fit right or not. I'll look into it more, thanks.

Yea, if you measure the trunks length, you can pick up one off of ebay. Like I said, mine is modified, but you could just use what they give you and mount it on top of the trunk instead of the back like I did.

Edit: Its literally a rubber piece, so it will flex to the shape of the trunk.

No, only mods can close threads. Why?
