Does anyone know the wheel specs of the car by any chance

theblackmamba · 10-15-2013, 02:07 PM

Is this lip only made in carbon?

I've been trying to look for it just plain poly or whatever..and I'd rather not pay $550 for a carbon lip and destroy it by painting it.

I have this lip although I did not have it installed (was on the car when I purchased it). It fits very well now but it does look like it was massaged a little to improve the fit.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have any photos to share?

This lip is similar to the ones advertised on J L Motoring site (using the same photos). You can contact the supplier to find out whether the lip could be painted instead of wrapping with CF as the entire lip is not made from CF as such.

These wheels are CCW classic

What do you guys think of this lip vs splitters+ Keescher style?

Sorry to jack OP.

Check the car in my profile. I like the lip a lot and as long as you aren't slammed you shouldn't scrape except in extreme cases. I am on kw coilovers and haven't scraped it yet.

looks sexy

and I think that site is generally pretty reputable. I know I would trust them over many others.

That's not to say there likely have been problems.

Personally I prefer full lip over splitters, unfortunately BMW don't offer OEM full lip for E90 M tech. Our choices are quite limited too, these are the aftermarket brands - Exotic Tuning, LTBMW and 3D design (Jap).

I'm hoping to get some close up shots of this front lip, particularly near the bottom of the front wheel arches.

edirtaynine · 10-15-2013, 10:56 PM

thats one of the best lips for an lci e90 in my opinion

AW M4 · 10-16-2013, 12:18 AM

Looks and fits great in my opinion!

I have this exact same lip from exact same vendor. I like it a lot and can't think of a better lip for the LCI Msport bumper.

My bumper is Jet Black so I have kept it unpainted. The CF is real and has a clearcoat on it to protect it. Im also lowered on KWs. You def need to be cautious driving but nothing too bad.... its a lip therefore its gonna get scraped n thats the bottom line.

Pro's:
- Style (looks like it was made to be on this bumper)
- Quality is excellent
- Durability
- Materials used
- Aesthetics x10

Cons:
- Fitment is really good, however, this is CF therefore it doesn't bend like plastic. You will have to trim millimeters in certain areas of the lip if you want perfect fitment which is normal and very easy.
- I cut a section out approx 1' x 6" on the underside of my bumper as well. Again this is if you want the best fitment possible.

My "cons" are more nuetral than actual "cons." Like anything if you want perfect you either have to pay a premium or put a little work into it.

Also as far as bonding the lip to bumper..... i used an adhesive (forget the actual name) and for added security I used hardware (nuts, bolts, etc) on the underside as an added security in case I ever bottomed out bad a the adhesive gave way that I wouldnt lose the lip.

I'll try an post pics soon. Overall this is a sick lip that complements the msport bumper perfect and if I had to do it over again I'd stick with this same lip. Over the years Ive used many diff lips on a lot of diff cars and this comes in at #1

Hope that helps
