What front lip is this?

MikeeM3 · 02-20-2018, 10:43 AM

Im looking for a similar lip to install on the F80 i have just bought so does someone knows which lip it is ?

Thanks

It appears to be an M Performance lip or a replica.

MikeeM3 · 02-22-2018, 07:30 AM

anyone else can confirm?

I agree m performance seems to be.. RKP makes a similar lip but you can keep your body color splitters which I like here's mine..

Clark_Kent · 02-22-2018, 07:57 AM

I have the RKP front lip as well. As kerkiraios00 mentioned, it's similar to the M Performance lip. It doesn't sit as low as the M Performance lip, retains body colored splitters. You'll notice there's a more aggressive flare on the RKP lip close to where the splitter meets the lower front grill. I'll post a pic as well later this afternoon.

Definitely looks like M Performance lip with M Performance carbon splitters

Be interested to see this as well. I'm between this lip and the m performance. I am leaning away from m performance now as you mentioned it sits lower than this one. I am lowered currently and the roads are not to kind in the north east.
Thanks for sharing.

To be fair, the difference in clearance between the two is slight with the RKP lip being more favorable. Be advised, you will need the M Performance carbon front splitters to run the M Performance lip or it will look awkward because of the gap.

More of the RKP front lip.

uniqueMR · 02-22-2018, 09:07 AM

I recommend RKP and went with RKP.
M Performance lip need splitters and I hate it.

MikeeM3 · 02-22-2018, 09:48 AM

I already have the M performance splitters on my new car so does that means my only front lip option is the M performance one?

espressoo · 02-22-2018, 09:58 AM

I have to admit that RKP products lately has looked pretty good. I'd like to see their rendition of the M3 CS lip since their MP one looks pretty good.

Anyone know where RKP products are made from and where the company resides?

Glad to hear you're a fan—RKP is actually one of our house brands! We have facilities here in the US and Germany.

We're rather proud of the way that the M3 / M4 front lip turned out and has been received thus far—it's one of my favorite offerings for the platform, not only because of fit and finish, but also the thoughtfulness that was put into crafting the lip and its accompanying hardware.

Is there a non carbon fiber version of the RKP lip? It's not poorly priced as cf however I see myself destroying that lip in cf with the roads in the northeast.

Did some searching and the manufacturer said there is no intent for a non carbon version that was also dated 2015. Fingers crossed.

I third this. I would buy a poly RKP version in a heart beat.

Yep. Same here.

RKP was my favourite but wanted to paint mine, so I didn't want to shell out extra cash for a CF version. Went with the (used) BMW MP lip with splitters (which I hate) to get the look/price I wanted.

Too bad RKP...

SanchoDivine · 02-23-2018, 06:16 PM

I tried to buy the RKP lip at least twice but each time they were unavailable leading me to buy something else

Obviously patience is not my virtue when it comes to pimping out my ride. No, I am not ready to try again yet.

The Vorsteiner Evo lip I bought from IND is ok though.

OK, so the way the RKP lip is built it is actually designed to go slightly lower towards the back / inside of the bumper. When you bottom out the inner side deep under the bumper takes the hit and not the front edge - and visible part - of the lip.
It is also very well built, pretty strong, kind of hard to destroy it by bottoming out, you'd need to hit a crater in a slammed car to ruin this lip that way.
Highly recommended and probably one of the cleanest lips out there imo!
