Got the tails yesterday! I started prep work for install today. Removed the original tails and the plate filler. The filler was already starting to fade so I painted it.

The box is pretty cool. Can't make out the writing on the side but why would it end with Prost! I will post updates. BTW, side skirts will be here Wednesday.

Notice the spoiler-less trunk?

Putting a euro plate filler in??

Nah, staying with the US. I like how it fills the void. I also cut and raised the tag up to blend with the bottom line of the filler.

Brand new MHW's... now that's business.

Brand new! Yeah, that hurt but I had no luck with used and I would feel bad if I was forced to borrow them off asubimmers! LOL:D
Why would Prost be there :cool: !

My German is rusty, but doesn't it say something to the effect of "Please have 8 Bitburgers before starting installation. Cheers!"?

Bitburger is a brand of beer.

I love it, although I am still futzing with some fitment issues. It would seem that the pipe coming out of my cat was 'tweaked' at some point, so it throws off the alignment of the whole system. It's not all the time, but I occasionally get some vibration as the pipe hits the rear valance, and the shop I took it to wasn't able to get the pipe centered any more than it is without major work. I think I'm going to just open up the exhaust spot on the valance a little.

Yeah but so is half the other stuff people do to their cars here. I'm just glad I don't live in Cali. Going over 55mph around here is illegal too but...

ok um did you mount them already? it's like 8 bolts get to it.

FL318is · « **Reply #14 on:** April 19, 2007, 09:01:35 PM »

Yes, I finally mounted them. With the part time job (to fund the addictiction) I don't have much time.

I did it in phases.

Phase 1 - clean the openings
Phase 2 - find black vinyl. I used this because the opening between the lense and tag filler was wide enough to see alpine white.
Phase 3 - paint the tag filler. It was already fading from FL sun.
Phase 4 - apply black vinyl. The secret is to get it misted and wet.
Phase 5 - cut the tag. So the tag did not extend below the tag filler. I cut, folded and drilled it. Now the tag rides about 8mm higher.
Phase 6 - Becks
Phase 7 - Install.

PICS to FOLLOW The lighting was too low to get a clear pic. I will take one tomorrow and post. For now here is a in progress shot with good sunlight.
