You're on the bmw forums, right? What other rear spoiler options are there for this car?
I think I just had a zoned out moment after staring at that picture for about 3 minutes. It made me go back and look at your other pictures. That is a really nice car, Zero. I could totally dig this car.

I don't like that bumper lip at all... The lip you're showing sticks up way too high, kind of like an air brake.
I'm currently rocking this one here (sorry for the poor quality pics), but I want to change for a more subtle one.
I like this one...
... or even something not as subtle but which I really like too, the CSL trunk...

PM Samuel1021, he made them.
Is the jury still out on this spoiler? It makes a neat first impression, but after eyeballing it for a while, I don't think I care for the way it rakes up so high. Seems odd, like you've got a razorblade sticking out of your trunk. And what's going on in the corner... is that damaged?

M3 sporting the same spoiler.
The only two options I've liked are that spoiler, or the Ericcson Amuse trunk... Authentic is $$$, and the replicas aren't up to quality IMO.

Of all those spoilers, this is the only one that I like. It's low and clean, very OEM.
Stare at it for a while, and you can appreciate how the line on the spoiler's edge wraps around into the line that goes down the side of the car and the edge of the rear quarter-panel. There's balance here. It's a very appealing design.

Color wise, I think it can pull of a sliver of carbon fiber with the black paint already. But I will probably hold off on the spoiler until the bumpers are done.
Evolution Racewerks Charge Pipe on order, just deciding which BOV to go with. Hoping to run over to VRSF in Hudson, MA next month for downpipes... and a dyno before years end.

I went with Tial myself because I didn't want a BOV that is obnoxiously loud, and the Tial is apparently the quietest one of all, but still gets loud when you blow off anything over 5psi... I read good things about the Synapse BOV, but it is much louder than the Tial.
In the end, a BOV is a BOV... they all work the same, so I guess in the end it comes up to how loud you want it to be. If you don't want the BOV sound at all, then go for the OEM style charge pipe and order a set of Forge diverter valves. They plug in just like the OEM, re-routing the gases in the intake tube, so you don't get that PSHHHH sound, but are much stronger than the OEM diverter valves.

I meant to say it's being ordered today or tomorrow. I've listened to many videos but I guess I wonder which is quality, and which has adjustability. I haven't heard anything negative on any of the options, but I did hear some negative feedback from the VW crowd about the Forge DV route...
It's between Synapse and Tial for me.

BTW: Here is my video of the Tial BOV. You can hear how it sounds from inside the car.
