Post Pics of Aero Lip on Stock Rims/Suspension - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

orientblue3 · 10-29-2007, 10:13 AM

Debating on whether or not I want to pull the trigger on the Aero lip but I just would like to see others with stock rims and no drop to make sure it doesn't look too low or awkward without sides, rear, drop and rims, etc.

Thanks!

i dont have a pic with stock wheels, but it will not be too low that's for sure.

i have a pic of the car with after market wheels and without a drop

get it man... and get it from Longtran too

NO, it doesnt look odd having an Aero lip with everything else stock. It actually gives the car a much more aggressive look.

And YES, get it from Longtran!

My bone stock baby.

I will be getting it from Longtran if I get it. For sure. Already ordered my reflectors from him. I have seen those SG e93 pics, gorgeous car. But would like some more before I pull the trigger. Thanks to all who contribute to this thread.

if you want to see the car with a lip with the same color as yours, i'd go to a dealer and look at them there

Dealer doesn't have any. Much less with a lip. Trust me. 335's are tough to come by in these parts, sadly.

Yea, I edited it off... sorry.

I haven't have my first cup of coffee yet.

My lip on an AW....definately looks "meaner", I think it looks great even with stock height & wheels (soon to be replaced if all goes well

)

Not a problem. Thanks for the pics.

definately not too low w/ stock suspension. it really completes the front of the car. flows with stock sides very well. heck, its an OEM part so it better flow!

Good point. They usually do. They did with the e46 but you never know! I'm hoping someone will have one on Sparkling Graphite. I'm about to pull the trigger anyway but it would be nice to know exactly what it will look like. Thinking of adding gloss black grills as well.

I slam my car like 2.75" in the front, tires are tucked...and i still clear bumps with the front lip...stock height u can park it over a curb easy...

this car is like 4X4, no worries

trust me, you wont regret getting the aero lip. clearance will NOT be an issue. as far as the kidney grills, i think you should go matte black instead of gloss.

I wasn't ever worried about clearance, just worried about the flow. I prefer the gloss black over matte because it has a cleaner more OEM look. Matte has a tendancy to look more like an add-on part to me than gloss. I did both on my e46 and preferred the gloss. I was never a fan of the Hamann shadow grilles because they looked cheap to me.

not SG but this is to show the flow from the aero lip to stock skirts.

+2 (Specifically Soni, if possible. Same color as my ride).

l4wr3nc3: Did you remove your lower center grille? Looks sweet!
