I am sure you guys know what you are doing and Cliff at LI is great at instructions. Looks great. Will you be running any test on the Li's? Would be interested to see how they perform with that configuration especially against the high freq. truspeeds.
The same vertical set was installed on the m3 (owned by the same customer) and he said that he was covered 100% - no tickets

We didn't have time to test LIs as the car was finished at 9pm and picked up at 5am.

This was the best place to place LIs on this car. It would've been much easier to mount them in the lower grill and not to deal with finding a way to run the cables inside the hood (since the grilles are part of the hood) but this is most appropriate place to install LIs.

The rear heads are mounted horizontally (a different LI kit that is intended for horisontal placement).
