CARBON FIBER/OEM E92 Aero Lip!

Aphrodisiac · 01-17-2010, 07:24 PM

Guys, I need your opinion about this...

I'm gonna install the OEM Aero Lip soon...
Car is a '07 BMW 335i Jet Black with Coral Red Interior

Should I get the OEM Aero Lip :

or this After Market Aero Lip with CF Splitters :

I'm thinking about the CF Splitters one in order for the CF to match with the Vorsteiner Vented Hood Limited Edition and the CF Mirror Covers.

However, it's worth noting that the first one is manufactured with OEM Plastic Material while the second one is Made in Taiwan and manufactured with FRP.

Both are nearly same price due to the additional shipping fees from Taiwan.

Also worth noting that car will be lowered with BMW Perfomance or Dinan Stage III suspension so it's worth installing a good material product (potential scratching, rubbing on the floor etc...)

Oh and this is what the VRS Vented Hood Limited Edition that I'm going to install looks like, if it helps:

So what do you guys think?!

Any thoughts to bring my confusion away?!

PS:

- Please focus your answer on the lip and not the hood I just posted the pics so you can match them both on a Jet Black color... (I know it's real hot hehe but please respect the purpose of why I created the thread...)

Guys I think I'm gonna go for the Stock one...
The CF Lip just doesn't look right... If you notice the contrast, it's not too nice.

Plus materials used to manufacture OEM are certainly much more reliable!

Good choice. nothing beats OEM fit/finish/quality.

M-Tech with Vorsteiner Splitters all the way

OEM Lip is the best bang for the buck but if you want something more expensive but more special and elegant IMO, take a look at the thread I mentioned above
