Aero Bumper Installed!

Will do a proper photo shoot once weather clears up but wanted to show these in the meantime. I had the shop paint/install Aero bumper, paint match grill surrounds, throw in new fogs (PIAA), and do other touch up work.

Congratulations on the retrofit!...It looks great & do post more pics.. So when you're doing the side skirts?

Everyday, I get to enjoy seeing two Z's with Aero Bumpers in the garage, one Roadster, the other a Coupe,.

I'm always around in the Ft Lee area so whenever you're down for a gtg. In fact, I'm going to a Bimmer shop grand opening this Sat, they're expecting 100 cars so you should roll with me and represent the Z4s!

Bumper plus fogs = $644, The body shop offered me internet pricing and did not have to pay shipping nor tax.

Paint / install by itself would've been $300, but I paid $350 including other touch-up work (my fenders had some rub spots from the front wheels, so it was warped and needed some touch-up work)

Total cost, approx $1000

The shop was located in Maspeth (Queens), 10 mins from NYC via Midtown Tunnel. They're a great shop for both body & mechanical work. Their current project car is a e38 with an e39 m5 engine swap. Ask for John and let him know Dan with the Z4 coupe referred you. He'll definitely take care of you.

Thanks man... Actually I don't have a M-coupe so wiring new fogs was not an issue

Thanks for the kind words. Yes it's Titanium Silver.

Don't remind me... but I think I'm happy with how it looks now. The skirts are a nice touch but it's hard to swallow the $500 price tag for such a subtle change. I need to save for coils now =)

I was skeptical too, but it looks great. If you can, spend the $400 and get a clearbra in 45 days or so. It's well worth the cost for such a nice front end.

Good Job.

So turns out the tow hook cover on the facelift Z4s do not fit the Aero bumper so for those contemplating this upgrade, remember to purchase the flapper separately. What sucks is that the cover off the facelift Z4's are 1/4th the cost of the pre-facelift ($15 vs $60), lol.

Oh yea, here's a daytime pic of her sitting outside ACM after an oil change and diff fluid swap.

edit
$60 on real oem, but in reality the 2 tow hook covers are both about $12-13 from Tischer.

Nice job, looks great!
Looks like you'll get a little aero downforce with that as well.
