I forgot my screws at my friend's house (owner of the Hellcat in the pic) where I installed it. But we're basically talking about 1" self tapping metal screws that you can get at Home Depot, like this:

Thanks for posting this. Lip looks great. Hopefully, they'll include documentation (and hardware) going forward?

Does it come with the hardware too?

I love it!

Did you have to do anything special with the splitters to make the CS lip fit?

I think he's asking about these lower splitters pictured on your car. Are they real CF or just black/CF vinyl? If it's real CF, how did you install the CS Lip with the splitters on there too.

Does this have more ground clearance than the M performance one?

The Lip looks good! Even more aggressive than the M performance Lip.

Seems you are on 19inch wheels and are you on stock height or lowever with HAS?

And the ground clearance is 5 1/8" inches at the lowest point? Should be able to clear ramps and humps easily?

I'm fully stock. And yup, that's measuring from the ground to the bottom surface of the lip.

I haven't had any issues with humps. Ramps just depends on the ... ramp lol. But most decent ramps no issues.

After destroying my front carbon lip I just don't think I could ever pay for $500 or more for a lip. Its in consistent danger. But DAMN this looks good.

Looks fantastic! Curious to know how it has held up over the year?

[NashvegasR]

Just out of curiosity, how is the lip holding up after a year + on the car?

Can this be used with splitters?

IMO the CS lip looks like it's glued/tacked on. In fact most aftermarket lips look like that as well. I may be the minority here but nothing like Th M Perf lip. It looks like it belongs and totally completes the car.

[JDE92M3]

^I have to totally agree! And it bothers me that the middle of the lip is set in creating a fang appearance on the sides. And the pseudo inlets really bother me, I would be less bothered if they were functional. But the lip does look aggressive! But have to say nothing flows like M Performance.

I installed the RW CS lip back in December. And disagree with the posts saying it does not flow. It fits great and in person looks fantastic, IMO.

The M Performance is just "Flat"

I am stock height and it sits just right. I addd the lip protector kit from IND. I used Gyeon MOHS ceramic coating.

I used the self tapping screws directly from BMW. Don't waste your time with the ones from RW. I mocked up the lip on the car with painters tape, then pre-drilled the holes.

I removed the lower plastic splash guards and trimmed the lower piece off with a razor blade. You'll want to put those back on as they protect your engine bay from road debris. Fits perfect.

I just installed this lip this weekend and love the look. The fitment was spot on and just is amazing. No complaints with RW Carbon at all.

One thing that wasn't clear to me doing the install was what to do with the plastic covers that you have to remove to get the lip to fit. I just took them off and left them off, but notice there is a pretty big opening at the underside of the car that used to be covered and a loose flap toward the rear of the car that used to attach to these covers.

This doesn't seem right, so what is the consensus? Do you trim away the portions of the original that interfere with the new lip and then put them back on? Sort of seems like the right thing to do and what a couple of you have done.

Unfortunately, my passenger side one was busted by the previous owner and was one of the reasons I bought the lip - figured if I had to replace that part, might as well just get a nicer looking lip instead. But now I'm thinking I should probably buy a new one and trim it to fit.
