Installed some M Performance Parts on my Toronto Red G80 M3

Front canards are tiny and drilling is required for installation. carbon side skirts are must have IMO

How much did the side skirts cost? Was installation difficult, a DIY job?

Why didn't you go with the exterior carbon pack to begin with? I know these are different parts, but seems odd to have these but not pay the money for the exterior carbon pack in the first place

OEM CF Package doesn’t include Carbon Side Skirts.

Yeah I know, but he didn't get the exterior carbon pack either. Just seems odd to be dropping several grand on these but not have gotten the exterior carbon pack as a starting point.

My money's on the fact that OP chose an in-stock or incoming unit that he couldn't spec from the factory.

Damn, now this has me wanting the side skirts even after I convinced myself not to get them.

They are pretty wide though…have a feeling my kids will think it is a step for them to be using to get in and out of the car.

How easy were they to install?

I have the CF front lip on order so these would be a nice addition…

Yeah, those skirts are nice! I fubared the CF pack as well, but I still may do the CF spoiler, skirts and then some off-brand air scoops or whatever those are called. Flicks don't do it for me at all.

Yep! Bought the car as is. Plus I am not a big fan of the cf exterior package. Personally I think the car looks better without the front carbon air vent and that's the only part worth getting in the package.
