Rear lip spoilers

I'd like a lip spoiler, i have found a ton of threads but really didn't find one that i like 'completely'. I'm planning to purchase the carbon fibre Arkym style lip and would like a cf rear lip to match?

Is there anything available?

Thanks

Check out the vendor and private seller classifieds.

Vendors sell some M3 style lips in either CF or painted. They also sell replicas of the performance spoiler.

My recommendation is to get the oem performance spoiler in CF. That piece is perfect.

I don't know much about quality, but what is this one like?

With an carbon fibre Arkym style lip you'll need a substantial rear lip spoiler.

Something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x2-Carbon-F...edfe54&vxp=mtr

As has been said, the OEM CF Performance Spoiler is the way to go, even though it's pricey. I have one and love it. I had tried other versions but finally broke down and got the real deal!

I assume the E92 325 in AU is the same/similar to the 328 here in the USA, so yes it should fit your car. All E92 have the same trunk (boot) lids.

eBay has always worried me because it is so hit or miss with quality. But there can be some great deals on great reps.

I got a painted spoiler from jbspeed for 150 I think. It fits great and is about a 90% paint match.

Some reps of the performance spoiler don't look even remotely similar to OEM. Be prepared.

Very true! The height of the kick is much less on the reps than the OEM CF Performance spoiler. I went through 3 different spoilers before I finally went with the OEM version. Now I wish I had gone OEM from the start!
