New Spoiler. Thoughts?
Hey guys my new spoiler came in from Maxton Design came in. I had it color matches and painted today today. I’m having the stock baby spoiler (if you can call it that - more of a nub) removed and the new spoiler mounted. What do you guys think?

Can we see more angles from afar with the temp mounts? I like flow thru's on coupes at times so maybe this one works.

I’ll have more pics tomorrow. I already wrapped it up pretty tightly and put it in the box and bubble wrap for transport. I’ve attached a few pics tho of other M8s with it on.

I like it honestly, it even looks like it would work with the Vert.. Low enough that is.

Looks decent. But i don’t think it goes with 8 series curves. Probably looks better in person. At least it’s an affordable option.

How is this a big fail? The car is faster than a lambo and looks like regular traffic. This gives it a little tasteful flair. It’s a very low wing same color as the car. Dare to be a little different. I’m not a huge fan of spoilers unless the car deserves it. Nothing gets a faster eye roll than a 08 Honda Civic pulling up to the light with a wing on it. Now an 800hp jet black tinted out M8 with one. Ok you’ve got my attention but low key.

It’s definitely a commitment. It requires holes to be drilled into the trunk and mounted. If it ends up being a disaster I buy a new trunk lid for $1700. Lesson learned. Im bringing it over to the shop today and am going to look at it from every angle possible and then make my decision.

I think the spoiler looks fine for a more aggressive M8, like the matte black one posted. But I wouldn't do it.
Even though I'm a vert driver, I strongly believe that the coupe is the best looker of the group, and especially its rear and rear 3/4-view. Those lines are beautiful. The best of any BMW marketed today. Svelte. And that spoiler breaks those beautiful lines for a much less sophisticated, boy-racer look. I just don't see the upside. I like different. But different isn't always better. My $0.02 only.

I just used clear sticky pads to see what it would look like with it on. It looks amazing. No one would see this in person and say it looks bad. I have it tuned and an aggressive exhaust on it. It’s not stock. Now for the lightning bolts on the side and a big racing stripe down the middle (kidding).
