That's a very large wing - does it protrude past the end of the bumper? Shots from the side and rear?

The black and white penguin theme looks nice. Unless the car sees allot of track time, the wing looks out of place for a street car.

Correct spider headlights. Waiting on replacements as the first batch was defective.

They are plug and play however the high beams and low beams were wired backwards so we had to fix some of the wiring.

I felt the same. reworked the GTC wing for the coupe to make it work. It sits a little lower then the coupe wing. I actually wish it sat even lower.

I get mixed reviews in person. People who hate it or love it. I'm somewhere in between. I Like the concept however not thrilled with the height and flow of it.

Car is being completely outfitted with VRS parts including splitters when they come in so I'm hopeful it's able to tie it all together. May have custom brackets made to lower it.

Maybe get rid of it too...

Hmmm, it takes a lot for me to look cross eyed at any of our beloved Z4Ms but I'm not feeling that wing. I just don't think the way your car sits now it can get away with that wing, it looks too out of place. Maybe after the VRS bits are installed it will flow better. Good luck!

Is OE xenon with auto leveling still works? Or you use their projector lenses and convert to LED?

Yes it deletes the xenon along with the self leveling. You are going downhill with these lights. However they look incredible. No fogging issues

On my previous roadster I did the tekarbon headlight upgrade and sent them out to them. Issue was they would fog up.

Trade offs...

If oem lighting is 10/10 these drop you to about 5/10.
