I don’t know.. maybe I’m boring but it’s hard to beat the aesthetics of stock wheels (most of the time). I mean, if you get different factory wheel choices with purchase of the car ok, but to ditch the brand new stockers and spend big money just for a different look doesn’t make sense to me. But yeah, if you’re gonna swap out the stockers HRE’s are usually a safe bet. But I’d hate to have to keep those suckers clean.

It looks good as a modern car but looking at the older models,it is really bad

Nothing available in the US market yet so is this the car you were doing test fitting and renders with in a more complete state?

See where I'm going with this?
We don't mean to come off as rude, but we would again ask that you please refrain from speaking any assumptions as fact. Your "test fittings and renders" statement is incorrect. I'm not certain if you misspoke in that instance, since if we were test fitting parts, then producing a render doesn't make much sense. We have not posted any G9X M5 renders outside of the Alpha-N aero components, which we posted in an announcement thread prior to collecting live media on all the parts because the community had already posted about the kit with Alpha-N's renders so we were required to publish full kit details. We go through great pains to photograph and produce live media of nearly every part that enters our warehouse.

Both our AST thread and spacers thread include only photos of actual products fitted to the vehicle.

The diffuser is a full replacement piece, which should be clearly visible in both our V1 and V2 product listings; unfortunately we only had the OE tips installed with the Alpha-N diffuser for one day before we replaced them with the M Performance tips. Admittedly, the extremely dark lighting at the rear does make the OE exhaust tips look worse than in real life. With that said, the M Performance tips include a large amount of fore and aft adjustability on the G9X M5 so you can have them protrude out quite a bit if you wanted. The same can be said for our 3D Design Exhaust Tip Set.

I am uncertain if we have any installed media of the M Performance tips as we have Eisenmann's first U.S.-spec M5 exhaust going on right now.

Yes, we only have one Storm Bay G90 M5 Sedan. It has never been used for any "product renders."

I am not a fan at all of the new 5 series but this one looks pretty sharp and is the best one I've seen thus far.

I think we might be talking past each other at this point. Let me clear my part up (as best I can).

It was clear you were doing a lot of test fitting. And the information you were sharing back was something I have never seen before - complete disclosure on what you found to share for everyone, including any competitors - that speaks a lot about your credibility and sense of community. I didn't say it before, but my guess is a LOT of people found it helpful! I did!

The test fitting got a little murky. Some of the photos had great renders, rather than real, and then for me I became somewhat skeptical of what is real, what is not. It just becomes difficult. Really what is obvious to you may not be obvious to all.

The HRE photo as you mentioned, had some lighting issues, so it begins to look adjusted. It's not uncommon for many of the photo shoots to involve 'tweaks' such as lowering to close out wheel gap etc. Again with everything still in that dev phase, and creative tools so good, it can be hard to tell what is real and what isnt. Even the reference to the M-tips I dont think was mentioned, but for me is good information to try and repeat the look rather than scratching my head on why things look so different when I try to repeat and copy something I have seen.

Carbon parts fit and finish can vary to say the least. I wont name brands but I have spent $$$ for known brands and been shocked with the fit/finish is what I would expect from Aliexpress. Im not saying anything about what you are selling at all - just want to be careful.

Six months from now when this is all readily available and customer photos and endorsements are out there, it will be a whole lot easier to pick and choose. Speaking of picking and choosing - I looked for your 3D exhaust tips set in the G90 section and couldn't find it - could see the M-tips but not your own.
