I hope that will polish out easy, but it's not obvious either. The install took me about one hour. I also used the adhesion promoter that IND mentions. It's quite secure.
Note: be careful when removing the plastic backing for the new spoiler tape as the BMW and IND instructions mention; if you break it rather than pull it off cleanly it can make life a touch harder 
EDIT: $520 is also nuts; buy it online. IND will put a CRT stripe on for you if you want to spend too much money like me. |
IND is actually charging more than BMW is. Also, thanks for the info!
