Great job, looks superb 
Ok, so I started by selecting between the //M rear bumper and the Updated rear bumper... tough decision, but the //M Bumper meant more work...so Passed on it.....Rear Updated Bumper it is!!.
Next in the agenda, bought new wipers, went with Duralast Flex Blade 20" (passenger) and 21" (driver).
They fit well on my Z4... as you can see the windshield cowl looks like crap...so also to be replaced...
New Windshield Cowl, ready for installation:
Removed wipers (marking were they were sitting on the windshiled) and old Windshield Cowl:
Installed new one, and make sure everything snaps back into place...of course after cleaning the water channels of debris...
Wiper Arms back on...New Cowl looks good!!!
With that done..now onto the fun stuff!!!
Rear Bumper Repacement with New Updated Bumper:
Car in the garage, and tools in place:
New Parts - Updated Rear BUmper, Updated Tail Lights and Frames and bumper mount:
Bumper and Tail Lights removed...
New Tail Lights Surround Frame installed:
Bumper and BumperMount in place...Side lights reconnected as well as License plate lights...
Everything assembled into place and otside the garage.
TailIghts Testing before coding, to make sure wiring is reconnected properly:
Connector for Left Side:
Connector for Right Side:
Took my time so ended up taking my saturday.
Sunday morning ready to tackle the front bumper...
Here we go:
Updated Front Bumper Installation:
Updated Front Bumper. Fog Lights and Center Grille:
Z4 back in the garage:
Front Bumper, Fog Lights removed:
New Bumper, Center Grille and Fog Lights in place.
Making sure the Bumper is aligned to the line flow in my Z4:
Z4 outside the Garage with updated front:
Added Wind Deflector to it:
FInal Gallery of the Updated Front and Back
Left to be done is the Coding, Exhaust Tips. Inside door handles, Steering Wheel (maybe //M with buttons) and fix AMP connector.
Any feedback si much appreciated!!!

Looks good! And the rear lights are a much needed improvement, it makes the car seem wider, more squat
PS how much did you pay for the windscreen cowl?

Thanks!!! I paid $120.00 USD
It was a pain...spacially for me...I'm not really much of a handyman...but with all the instructions and guides here in the forum, made the process easier!!
Ordered Yesterday:
•Chrome Exhaust Tips
•New Steering Wheel (Probably //M with control buttons)
Still to be done:
•Coding
•Carver AMP Connector replacement from Wiring harness
•Door Handle replacement
•Angel Eyes from Tekarbon
Been thinking two other things...Full Audio System Replacement and Wrap interior in CF (door handles, dash fascia, center consoloe, etc...)
