High Kick CF spoiler, Diffuser and CF Tips installed.

[_BSMM5]

Sourced everything from Ebay/Amazon... Took a gamble on fitment and it paid off

High Kick Spoiler ($190): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

4" Carbon Fiber tips ($150):

CF Diffuser ($350):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fits-12-16-...53.m2749.l2649

I had to remove the bumper (easy, 8 body screws) in order to install the diffuser because the tabs on it sucked compared to OEM. I had to use some self tapping screws to go through the lip on the back of the bumper and through the tabs.. I have heard of this also being necessary even on more expensive name brand diffusers however.

Also had the 343M wheels powder coated Satin Black by a local shop in SA. Wrapped in 265 PSS Fronts and 305 SC2s.

Looks good! I got diffuser on the way right now and I still gotta remove the bumper to install it.

Hit me up on fb if you need help. Its pretty simple, but putting in the screws can be a PITA. Pre-drilling and using zip-ties may even be better and less chance of scratching CF. (ask me how I know)

Man that looks good! Great work!

Side note, the 305 SC2's how are they and what did you have before? I am on 295 PSS and contemplating between SC2 and PS4S in 305's.

I had 295 PSS before and even with the car stock 1st and 2nd gear was awful.

Switching to 305 SC2 was like a completely different car. Anything above 70 degrees, I can almost put down all of 2nd once the tires are warm and I'm stage 1 now. The butterflies are real.

I can't comment on the PS4S as I've never used them, I don't think they're as sticky, but they wear better and are cheaper.

I got the SC2's on ebay used with 60% left - $280 for the pair. Considering they are $500+ brand new I didn't even think twice. Lots of porsches come stock with 305 SC2's so I think thats where a lot of the used ones come from.. Look around and you can find some with no patches for a solid price.


EDIT: Corrected "porches" to "porsches" lol.

Did you watch a particular video for how to remove it?

Yeah I pre-drilled when I installed my diffuser on my old 535i. Hopefully have enough time tonight to install.

you mentioned this in a FB thread I posted. Wasn't sure about going w/ used tires but man if I can find some PSC2's for a good deal, it's worth it.

Just look at the Ebay reviews and make sure they're not patched. At $250, I was willing to gamble and it paid off. That pair would've been $1k brand new, and with the way I drive they wouldn't have lasted but maybe 3-4 months

Found someone on youtube installing a JC Sportline diffuser on an M5 if anyone needs it.

4S tires are the tire to have on this car. toyo r888 are stickier but will damage the rear diff in our car it grips so hard (so says reliable sources)
