Yesterday I installed splitters I bought off eBay, originally I was worried about fitment but decided to go for it, in my opinion they fit pretty well. The first two pictures are before and the last two are after. Let me know what you guys think.

It's hard to see detail with the lighting and the darkness of your car.

I was looking at those myself for my Monaco Blue e90 ... they look good albeit subtle. For the $$ vs a new bumper definitely an option.

Thanks for posting

Zay335i did you have any issues with the middle screw for each side? The one I got made it seem like one of the 8mm screws to the bumper (that it went over) needed to be longer to reach.

I did have a slight issue with the screws but I assumed it was because the underneath of my bumper was pretty beat, I believe the driver side does not have a middle screw as it's missing and the left one was a bit of a pain but it fit.

Same issue I'm having. The middle one is thick in that area and needs a longer screw to get there. Trying to source one. Did you put accessory mounting tape to the bottom as well as the top?

The hard part is the install, to what I've noticed, is largely based upon those screws being in as the tape doesn't seem to be able to handle the stress completely on its own.

If you are talking about screwing through the square shaped hole in the splitters, I do not have one on either side. No mounting tape was used at all.

Wow, so it's held in for you with just the screws. Interesting. Maybe it's a build thing for me then.

I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking, yes I used 3M tape on the inside of the splitters all along the edges including screws.
