A couple friends gave me a heads up, you have to alter the 4 pieces in the middle and shave some material off. Fits perfect with no bowing.

How did you know how much material to take off? What did you use to remove the material? Saw, grinder, sand paper?

Dremel and we did it on two tries. we took some off until the lip was leveled in the middle

I only had to trim down the middle two plastic spacers on my Lightweight lip (not all 4) to get it level.

I'll contribute some Autotecknic rear-diffuser pics! I have the M splitters and spoiler and the mode weave/quality doesn't seem much different IMO.

The new Agency Power Aeroform hotness installed on my car for Bimmerfest. Really, incredibly, impressed with the quality of the carbon work. Plus the base of the front lip is separate, so if you hit a crub, two fents, and four bricks you can just replace the lower blade instead of buying a whole new lip. Pretty rad setup!

Car looks mean. I love the chunky tires with the TE37s. Lip/Splitter looks nice too.

How about a roller front shot...

2015 M3 Pilot · 06-17-2016, 03:32 PM

Love the splitters, lip, and grille!

Yveske · 07-25-2016, 06:29 PM

Personally I prefer the vorsteinere evo, Ive been searching a lot to find a proper front lip and for me this was the one!

Tam@SupremePower · 07-25-2016, 06:34 PM

Great comparison photos!

Do you have a top view so we can see how far it sticks out?

M3Fury · 08-21-2016, 12:42 PM

I'm not much for big wings, protruding lip spoilers, etc and just want something to dress up the front without breaking up the lines of the front lower bumper too much.

Anyone ever see something like the E90 CRT lip for our cars?

Literally just look one post above yours, probably closest to what you are seeking that I have seen

Well you are right as this is the closest in this thread. Still a bit bodacious for me, though.

Would anyone know if removing the CF Splitters (port installed) would cause paint damage to the bumper? Basically, would I have to repaint bumper if I removed the lip + splitters. Thanks.

It looks like the clearance has gotten a better. It also looks like the shape changed a bit. What else has been changed/improved?

SDCraftGuy · 09-10-2016, 01:52 PM

new pickup this week (17'). Not sure I'm in love with the CF splitters since takes away from the natural lines, but growing on me.
