So you're saying I can expect to get the parts in 2-3 weeks?

I'm saying that was my experience when I received that notice, on the two occasions that I ordered. You can infer from that what you will - hope you have a similar pleasant outcome ...

It seems like alot of people are rushing to get these Aero parts now before they're gone lol. What color is your z4? By looking at pics it looks like the side skirts are more noticeable on lighter colored cars but I think it'll still look great on my black sapphire metallic.

Can't wait to see the pics when you guys get them installed. I have an '07 with the small rectangular fog lights, and I purchased the kit from Tischer with the round fog lights and all. Does the connection from the rectangular ones to the round ones differ? Does someone know if I have to purchase anything additional for the bumper separately? Thanks

Can the freshly painted bumper be installed the same day it was done along with putting a clear bra on it? Or you must wait for the paint to cure?

Did your painter use a post cure oven to bake your finish ?? He should have if he's worth his salt.

If he didn't.....park it in the sun for a few weeks, wet-sand and polish ...THEN do your bra install.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to be getting the aero bumper and side skirts soon and I just wanted to know how the process goes.

Just installed mine

I only got the side skirts, have not pulled the trigger on the front bumper yet since I also need the fog lights. I have the facelift with rectangular fogs. Besides, my stock bumper is in like new condition and I have a clear bra on it, so it's hard to justify a new bumper. The color is silver grey and is a perfect match. The gaskets that came with them where all wound up in a bag, so I left them out in the sun for a couple of days to straighten them out and remove the wrinkles.

Hello, I just purchased a 06 red z4mr and hope to be also adding skirts to her in the future. Does anyone know or can direct me to pictures of red z4mr's with them already attached? The one on Tischer is pretty small even enlarged and I would also like to see them from different angles.

I have used the search and have come up empty. It also seems red is one color where posters have subjective views on if they would look good or not on the color red.

thanks for any info,
cheers,
jeff~

They would look great. If there's time today, I'll take a couple of shots of them on the wife's IR coupe.
