Bit late with the reply but try carbon wurks in the UK, half the BMW price and as good quality. I have the diffuser and it looks spot on!

I just worry about fitment, even in the picture the gap is not even. In the middle it looks tighter than the outer edges.

Having now looked at mine very closely it isn't completely parallel and droops ever so slightly each end, but it is even so I can live with it. Maybe as I had the M Performance exhaust fitted at the same time I should just have forked out a few extra hundred quid for the BMW part, but again, I can live with what I have, and I am a bit OCD with things like this

Maybe because I have the CF tips on the exhausts it just blends in well...

I don't know if it's considered a mod, but you can use black electrical tape to cover up the 4 badges on the car. It's hardly noticeable unless you look closer than couple of feet

I got

M4 Style Spoiler from CWCarbon $330
Rear Diffuser from Amazon $350
Unplugged exhaust flaps $0

I was not going to spend 1k for either of the two nor was i going to plunk down 300-500 for some crap to control flaps. Thats like nearly 3k when i spent $680 on everything. Nah man M tax is for fools. I have no fitment issues and flaws are very minor to non existent. If you are one of those neurotic people that needs perfection go head and piss blast 1-3k for some cosmetic parts which also can come with flaws. Nobody is perfect.

I think changing the back M3/M4 emblem to black from chrome is a very worth while inexpensive upgrade. I have yet to see a colour it doesnt look good on. Its also among the easiest DIY mods.

Do these ceramic pads work just as well as oem pads? What are stock pads made of?

Yes... they work well. I clean my wheels 80% less. But you have to bed them correctly. They will squeak once in a while on cold starts like CCB especially on cold days.

Do you have any tape similar to to this? Not sure if this is double-wide or 2 narrow pieces next to each other.

Proclip USA left A-Pillar mount with a Magicmount stuck to it. Surprisingly solid with a big phone stuck on it.

Hey everyone, I have a Jeep Wrangler and I saw a thread on another Jeep forum about cheap mods. It has tons of cool mods and a lot of DIY. Some mods are around $50 and some around $5 (for parts).

I guess if you have any interesting or cool mods we can get ideas or learn from, please share!

Welcome and prepare yourself for M tax lol
$20 red start button? I guess you could do the Home Depot front lip or something.

[wdskukm3]

Please. No house hardware parts on your $80k M car. This is a premium car. Not a Honda Civic even though I had one when I was younger. But even that I put on good aftermarket parts.

Painting the muffler was the only "cheap" mod I've considered. The small can of paint was $30 so I guess it wasn't that "cheap".
