Probably the TCKline setup of springs and revalved Koni. Still debating about Aero front bumper but having a tough time justifying costs. Need to see what it looks like lowerered.

Also need to paint the front license plate holder, looks cheap in unpainted black plastic.

With AW I'd love the carbon rear diffuser and spoiler...

NYZ4 · 09-13-2012, 08:17 PM

The reason I bought the Aero bumper was first because the original bumper had rock chips and was scraped up a bit, and also because it looks great and it's something you'll rarely see if at all. The spoiler is a nice touch on the coupes I must say. Which carbon rear diffuser are you talking about, the OEM one or aftermarket? I tried looking for the OEM diffuser but it has been discontinued and all of them have been pretty much sold. So you'd have to get lucky buying it off someone else. I like the de-badged look btw lol, I did it myself

Here are pics of my Aero bumper and side skirts that I never posted in this thread. Only thing that's different since I took these was I changed the grilles to black chrome.

Denton · 09-13-2012, 09:31 PM

Damn you're not helping me avoid getting aero front bumper! Looks killer, sexy in Black Sapphire

I'd be really pissed in a few years when I decide I want it, they're all gone, and I don't have my 10% over cost discount. I guess I'll have to save my pennies.

Love the look of these skirts, can't wait to get some this fall.

Quick question for those of you that have these installed, did you have to purchase any new fasteners/hardware to attach the new skirts, or did they come with the required fasteners or did you reuse the ones from the stock skirts?

Thanks.

STIHLBOLTS · 09-17-2012, 01:53 PM

Fasteners come with the skirts.

Thanks for the quick reply. Looks like aero skirts might be next up for me after my wheels arrive.

Denton · 09-17-2012, 02:18 PM

Mine only came with one side of a gasket but I ripped mine off the old ones.

Didn't come with new fasteners but didn't break any old ones.

STIHLBOLTS · 09-17-2012, 04:59 PM

^Who did you buy from? I got mine from Tishner and everything was in the box in little bags taped to the back of each panel.

My dealership ordered, only got one bag but 10% over cost so can't complain too loudly.

STIHLBOLTS · 09-18-2012, 07:10 AM

Well, you got lucky to be able to use the old fasteners, most cases the plastic pieces are not reusable.

No_Dominion · 10-02-2012, 10:55 AM

Well, I ordered my side skirts from BavAuto yesterday. I'm out of town for three weeks, so when I get back I'll have the skirts, Mstache, CF spoiler, CF mirror covers and CF wrap to put on. Definitely looking forward to the skirts the most, though.

Finnegan, I noticed in the very first pictures you posted in this thread that you have a ZPOST sticker in your rear window. I've searched these forums and can't find any mention of them.

Anybody know if these are still around? I'd love to get a couple.

I'm looking for a set of stock springs for my Z4 MR. Your's isn't an M is it?

The original owner installed a set of H&R Sport Springs when it was brand new. I'd rather have the stock springs or down the road I'm planning on going with a full set of coilovers.

Non-smartass answer: nikki made them, I'm pretty sure she still has some left. First result in that link above.
