Take a look.
I like it, except for the finish of the rear wheel arches to the rear of the car.

Just WOW.
I agree with your opinion, especially about the rear.
And on to the core question: will the car be faster with it? Or will it be like the eighties kits that slow down?
Besides that the kit does create a new aggressive look, far away from the classic looks of the E24.
The kit would effectively add weight, but, may improve the Cd. So slower to accelerate but faster top speed.
My car should be good for 400hp with the S38B38 so if it was me (and it won't be, not for 10 years anyway), and I put this kit on, with the 6 speed E39 M5 box (which I have), I would not notice any power loss.
I like the look but the bum needs to be tucked back in, the rear guards do look like they are unfinished where they merge into the rear bumper. Front and sides, if modern aggressive retro is your thing, they have hit the nail on the head!

Almost like the rear needed just a slightly sharper crease to finish it. That is very expensive though... I'd think it priced about half would make it more attractive for people who also need to install the kit and then paint.
It is definately 'restomod' style as it becomes more agressive with the widened shell and the massive wing. I do like it and would like to see one in real life.
Has anyone been brave enough to order? 7k is just way too much for my blood.

The kit is ready and paid for, the car is still a few months off. Then I want to drive it for a while prior to putting the kit on given it has been off the road since 2014. So probably next year or the year after.
