M4CS OE lip + F8X splitters

I just bought an SMB M4CS. Does anyone know if the OE F8X carbon fiber splitters fit with the CS front lip? Does anyone have this set up?

I really like the look of the OE splitters and was thinking of adding a set to my CS.

Thanks!

You have to cut the splitters to fit around the CS lip. It's not a bolt on setup.

I was told they do fit with no cutting required. Had a CS lip & splitters, couldn't figure out how to get them on as it wasn't fitting so just went with the lip.

Would also like to figure this out.

Same here. I have a set of Autoteknic splitters and RW Carbon CS lip sitting in the garage until I have time to check the fitment over and over before cutting the splitters. Would definitely appreciate tips from anyone that has tackled the combination.

I don't get the point, the CF splitters only add weight and do nothing to improve aerodynamics over the CS lip.

I was about to post something about this, but I refrained until you wrote something haha.

I didn't even know people were interested in the CF scoops for a lip that didn't require them for mounting. Unless painted, I think they make the car look like it has beaver teeth personally.

But it is in the cosmetic section. Who am I to judge with my single exit exhaust

I've done this install and they cannot be used together out of the box you need to cut the bottom of the splitters

How much weight are we talking about? 0.25 lbs? Or does each splitter weigh 50 lbs?

I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out that this question relates to the car's aesthetic. The regular M3 looks better with the splitters and lip combination, in my humble opinion, and believe that would be the case for the CS as well.
