Wow, that looks great. The gold wheels really look great against the black paint. I just did a goldish wheel color on my GT4 and it really looks great against darker paint.

which CF rocker extension did you go with? I need a set to compliment my CF front lip and rear diffuser.

Thanks! The APEX motorsport gold is subtle and not too in your face gold. Love it.

Rocker extensions are POM performance. I took the entire side skirt off and bolted them down from the inside

Nice! How hard was it to remove the sideskirt?
I am getting ready to install the extensions and was thinking of doing the same for a perfect and secure installation.

It's pretty easy actually. Just a plastic pry/trim tool and some patience. The clips towards the back of the car can be brittle so good idea to buy some spares. IMO its the only way to do it, if you want it done right. I don't trust self tappers alone. Not to mention better fitment because with it off you are able to flex and mold the extension to it easier

If you go to youtube and type in "How to install carbon fiber side skirts! (E92 M3)" there is a Spencer Berke video that I used as a general guide for the skirts
