Unfortunately Ikon lip doesn't fit well at all without major modifications to the lip. I wouldn't recommend it.

Diffuser

Bought this diffuser (https://www.ebay.com/itm/F8X-Carbon-...V/142601527700), and it works well.

When I purchased the diffuser, the listing did not state it was adhesive, so that was a surprise. Overall, fits well, comfort access woks, and looks good.

Just wanted to post reviews of a few parts here since this thread has helped me a lot.

Vehicle: M3
Part: CF M Performance style rear lip spoiler
Brand: "euro_kingdom"
Link, eBay seller, item number: seller euro_kingdom https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-BMW-F80...72.m2749.l2649
Fitment 1-10(best), reason for score: 9.5/10. the corner one one side just sticks up like 0.5 mm. I've tried to press it down as it does flex a little but it wont stay. this could be user install error.
Quality 1-10(best), reason for score: 9/10. Some of the sharp edges could look a little better, but only noticable if your eyes are within 2 feet
Item price: $128 at time of purchase
Shipping price: free
Item location: CA


Part: CF splitters
Brand: "euro_kingdom"
Link, eBay seller, item number: seller euro_kingdom
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-PIECE-ADD...72.m2749.l2649
Fitment 1-10(best), reason for score: 10/10 fitment was good when I test fitted
Quality 1-10(best), reason for score: 5/10 unfortunately I did not keep these splitters and sent them back because although it fitted well, the weave was terrible. It was wavy in some areas and most importantly, these were not symmetrical. The weave on each splitter went different directions and were not even close to being mirrors of each other. The seller did let me return this and he covered shipping.
Item price: $149
Shipping price: free
Item location: CA

Part: CF splitters
Brand: "bulbxpert"
Link, eBay seller, item number: seller bulbxpert
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-PIECES-AD...72.m2749.l2649
Fitment 1-10(best), reason for score: 10/10 Great fitment. Tucks under the plastic side pieces.
Quality 1-10(best), reason for score: 10/10 perfectly symmetrical tight weave.
Item price: $156
Shipping price: free
Item location: CA

Part: Paint-matched M performance style diffuser (fiberglass)
Brand: "carkingtuning2013"
Link, eBay seller, item number: seller carkingtuning2013
https://www.ebay.com/itm/CARKING-15-...72.m2749.l2649
Fitment 1-10(best), reason for score: 9/10 out of box. Fits pretty well after some adjustment. I did have to use some double sided tape to keep the sides from sticking out a little bit. Due to less flexibility of fiberglass, it did not want to flex enough to stay in place. A couple of strategically placed pieces of 3m double sided tape easily fixed this. Once adjusted like this, id say its 10/10.
Quality 1-10(best), reason for score: 10/10 100% perfect color match. Looks like good paint quality. Despite being fiberglass, it looks like it should hold up pretty well.
Item price: $194 painted
Shipping price: free
Item location: Taiwan



I also bought this DCT shift knob cover because I'm actually not a fan of the alcantra surround that the oem M performance one comes with. Although the oem one isnt very expensive, I'd prefer to not have alcantra in my car since I'm afraid it gets dirty easily. This piece is just a cover and goes over the silver trim, held in place by double sided tape.
Part: CF DCT shift knob surround cover.
Brand: "joycechoice4car"
Link, eBay seller, item number: seller joycechoice4car
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-fibe...72.m2749.l2649
Fitment 1-10(best), reason for score: 9.5/10 despite being a "cover" this actually fits pretty well. Its pretty thin so it doesn't look "off" and there isnt much space the CF and the black plastic once installed. Just be sure to use some thin double sided tape. 3m body tape that i used for everything else worked well for me. The button at the bottom still stays pretty flushed bc of how thin it is.
Quality 1-10(best), reason for score: 9/10. looks to be pretty good quality. The piece is very thin, thinner than I expected which helps with the fitment once installed but time will tell if this cracks or anything. I'm hoping not since its an interior part that doesn't get any trauma or anything. The weave seems to match my RW carbon knob cover
Item price: $54
Shipping price: free
Item location: Hong Kong


Part: M performance exhaust CF tips (inlet 70mm, outlet 92mm, length 105mm)
Brand: "Dongguan KEMIR CFRP"
Link, eBay seller, item number: Alibaba seller Dongguan KEMIR CFRP
https://kemir.en.alibaba.com/product...4f0de8f4rHYG8k
Fitment 1-10(best), reason for score: 10/10 fits well. adjustable with bolts. You can choose how far out it sticks.
Quality 1-10(best), reason for score: 8-9/10. The tips themselves are well made. The CF looks to be of very good quality. The reason im docking points here is that my 2 of tips came a little scratched (about 5mm each). Fortunately the scratches are on the side so I just installed them in a way so that they didnt show. The spacing between the CF and polished SS parts can be a little better but the imperfection in spacing is pretty much not noticable when installed, even when standing next to the car. If you put your eyes at eye-level 1 foot away from the tips, you might be able to tell. Seller ended up refunding me $30 off the $289 price for the scratches.
Item price: $289 including DHL shipping
Item location: Hong Kong

I've got two goodies for you guys. SORRY the car is filthy inside.

Rear Carbon Fiber Trunk PSM Style Spoiler
I've wanted this lip for a while. I thought it may be too cheap but I took a risk and it paid off, $168. It fits 9.5/10 and subjectively looks 9.5/10 to me as well. This is a bargain considering the design and finish.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-BMW-F80...72.m2749.l2649

Aluminum Pedals
My brother bought these for me on eBay. Found out they were so cheap. How cheap? $22.80! They looks fantastic. The install was too simple. You take off the OEM rubber brake pedal and slip the new one on. Fits snug. The gas pedal slides on and looks in when you get to the bottom. They look so damn good. Matches the OEM dead pedal... I may need a new one now lol. Crazy cheap and worth it. If you still have the standard pedals, just get it.

Thanks. Happy to help. This is the PSM diffuser. I bought one locally off someone who sold their car, got a deal. I saw eBay has some solid replicas though.

I got the lip in from ikon and it fit ok. You got to redrill the hole and also drill 2 more holes for each side otherwise, it won't sit flush and it will sag. So overall it is ok quality, not good but ok, and it makes the car super low if you are on stock suspension
