Side note, this first photo in your reply makes it look like your front rotor is glowing-red as if it was being used on road America or something! Obviously it's due to the e30, but still a cool image!

100% agreed about the brakes. It's the 1 part that I'll never skimp on using cheaper parts.
It saves you from going into the car in front of you, I'm happy to pay for better brake feel and just better brakes in general. |

Update 2017-02-13
Minor update with camera phone.
Not sure about quality of other performance spoilers, but the BMW OEM one is definitely the nicest weave and quality I've come across; fitment is perfect too! -Betalink, umm yeah... not very friendly... but sticks very well and has no adhesive gap! Now for the big question... install the following or no? Open to all inputs/advice/comments :X ^Also open to pass it onto somebody who wants this more than me. Never been mounted so if anybody is interested... -Charles |

Installation AP Racing Radi-CAL Pro5000R Rear Kit (CP9449)
Update 5/5/2017
Installation AP Racing Radi-CAL Pro5000R Rear Kit (CP9449) Black Rubber Cap: Instructions suggested disconnecting from hard line first and capping with black rubber cap. This did not work for me... Highly suggest standard procedure of preparing/mounting the caliper/rotor and then doing the line swap instead of battling the slow leak... Stainless Steel Line: First time replacing brake lines in rear. Access appears to be deceptively easy in the rear, but flare nut wrench did not have much access to catch/spin loose. Rear suspension components are in the way... Caliper Bracket Mount Bolt: Use provided, scratched my head for a minute (or two) when threads did not catch. Brake Dust Shield Trim1: Minimum trim required Brake Dust Shield Trim2: Did not care as rotor will be covering. Installation complete |

So what is the story behind the orange and blue fun you were having?

My brother helped ship some wheels and it was part of his packaging idea. I toyed with the idea to drive with them on but ultimately legitimately forgot. Surprisingly, they were wedged together pretty well and was a while before i noticed an orange item flying behind me
