Painted or CF splitters with Lip - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

jeanchristophele · 10-12-2012, 12:40 PM

I’ve search many posts the past two days and didn’t find any pictures, so maybe I can get some people’s opinion on this?

I was thinking of going with painted splitters from JBSpeed and ********** and this lip http://www.**********s.com/Carbon-Fi...ip-E90-E92.htm .

However, Tischer BMW also sells these carbon fiber painted splitters. My question is would it look good with painted ones or should I go all out carbon fiber. Unless someone can do a better job in PS, here is my sorry attempt lol

i vote for painted

MARIO K · 10-12-2012, 03:06 PM

You probably know this, you've been on the forum for a while.. I don't know if you also have an e90 but those splitters in the picture will not fit your e93. I have splitters and the Hamann style lip on my car painted in black. Check it out in the link in my sig if you want. Oh I also vote white splitter and carbon lip lol

klov335 · 10-12-2012, 03:10 PM

The picture looks like non sport lci splitters with kescher lip? Not hamann lip? I have the splitters waiting for my hamann lip see if it will fit under.. If not i will prolly take out the splitters and jus add the hamann lip.. I think both splitter and lip will make my car not go anywhere since i live up north.. Just started snowing

E90Company · 10-12-2012, 03:15 PM

Don't you have an e93 with an aero lip?

just4kickz · 10-12-2012, 03:19 PM

both!

DuckySpud · 10-12-2012, 03:25 PM

Im looking at going down the same route with mine, think Im going painted splinters and cf lip, just seems to look a bit smoother and flow better.

Oh wow, completely missed it.

Bamaben · 10-12-2012, 05:59 PM

Just body colored splitters look best to me. All black splitters and lip make it look like you are missing the bottom of your bumper

creaminz · 10-12-2012, 06:04 PM

I tried to reply to your PM but your box is full. Anyways, I don't have the performance bumper anymore on my car

hyolee · 10-12-2012, 06:04 PM

ugh sorry that weird foggy thing but my camera is ruined :/ but anyways if you have a white care definitely go with painted, the cf of the splitters do not match with the cf of the lip.

klov335 · 10-12-2012, 06:07 PM

What lip is that??? Thats not cf hm lip is it?

jeanchristophele · 10-12-2012, 08:12 PM

Thanks for all y'all feedback! BTW, I was told the color code was near the kick plate of the car but I couldn't find it. Does anyone know the Color Code for PLATINUM BRONZE? Thanks in advance!

You can check your paint code here and your equipment list etc.

http://www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/acc...catalogue.html

Just log on to that electronic parts catalog and enter seven last letters/numbers from your BMW's VIN number. Then choose options from the top and then vehicle information. There will be your paint code listed.It's A__something.

And on topic you should paint the splitters to bodycolor.

MWildPOWPOW · 04-05-2013, 07:26 AM

I have actually been throwing this idea around for the past month. I think I'm gonna do it but leave it cf on my SGM e90. Does anyone have any good pics of this
