Suggestion needed regarding the front look !!
Hey guys !! I have the carbon fibre upper splitters/fangs installed on my F82. However, now I want to install the M performance carbon fibre lip. Should I go with the lip only or should I also install the lower splitters and remove the upper fangs?

This is what I am not sure about and that is the reason I asked this question. I am able to purchase the lip only (without the cf splitters) from IND. But I was not sure if I can install the lip alone without the cf splitters.

Yes you will need the M Performance splitters for the M Performance front lip to fit correctly. I found that out the hard way...luckily I didn't spend a lot of money on the splitters I bought.

+1 this is what I understand.
However, I'm sure you can find an aftermarket lip that works without the OEM splitters.

If you're going with IND consider the front lip with the accent stripe in body color to help offset the dark splitters and fangs.

Mine is black, and here's what the front looks like - only the lip is installed up front and I like the way it looks and fit. I struggled with doing more carbon on the front "fangs" but in the end I thought that would be too much carbon - same with the side skirts. I think this configuration will look great on a white car. I also believe that the CS lip does not require that the splitters be done for proper fitment - you can see mine doesn't gap.

just go with the oem m performance. its a little pricey but its a complex piece. and you want the lip braced to the underbody otherwise the downforce is just stressing your bumper and pulling it down. i bought 2 reps before and they did not fit perfect.

Get the m-perf style lip with splitters from XPH. Looks OEM and you don't have to pay $2k for a lip you'll eventually destroy on a speed bump/road hazard.
