any more pics from far away? thanks

katsbimmer · 05-25-2006, 02:03 PM

is that color an exact match because they look to be a brighter white than the car bumper??

could that be because the rest of the bumper has a shadow on it?

you can definetly tell this guy lives down south with all the bugs and stuff splattered on the bumper.

macboi · 05-25-2006, 02:22 PM

yeah my whole front bumper has a clear bra on it. xcept the front lips. that's probably why it looks a bit brighter.. i took the kit off, but let me go get some picture to give you guys a slight idea.. !!! hold !

it's not that, i bought it so i can have a different front look, but it wasn't too aggressive for me. im not sellin this just because its thin, it holds on pretty well and very durable.. no crack or anything!! i was looking at the Hartge front lip.. or maybe the Euro Front, i think it looks great

I have gone the route of painted CF front lip spoilers... They look amazing and add a subtle, but aggressive look to the front end...

Good luck on the sale... someone with alpine white should buy these...

just4kickz · 05-27-2006, 11:28 PM

totally agree though. they do look great and i wanted to get these lip pieces, but i'm not sure whether to get the CF or the FiberGlass. I mean the FG is probably gonna be cheaper than the CF. how much did u pay for it to be painted/installed? or did you get it colormatched then DIY?

well i bought the lips at umm.. pacific.. which is like 230+shipping each!. so it's nearly 500.. plus 150$ paint job at local bmw.. which is 650. all i did was fit the two screws at the bottom, i didn't use glue..

oh nice. hmm i guess ill get an oem-style and get that paint matched at a local bmw. did you put something inbetween the pieces and the actual body? i guess to protect ur original paint on ur bumper?

No... Just have it glued straight to your bumper. This, like the rear spoiler, is not really a reversible mod (like most bodywork)

infrno4 · 05-28-2006, 07:32 AM

off topic mcboi how much you pay for the clear bra and install total?

600$ installed.. that includes.. hood.fender.mirrors.headlights.foglights.bumper

i think it's a well worth investment.

everyone complains that you'll see a line and discoloring and all that. but when i got it.. it's beeen almos 2 months and my front looks brand new like factory... so i dont really know where they got their installation done..
