Lightweight Front Lip Install Notes/Photos

panzer948 · 06-26-2016, 06:54 AM

Hi guys, finally got my Front Lip installed. Got mine, along with the BMW Performance Side Skirts, and 12mm Rear/15mm Front Spacers from Supreme Power! I got a set of Macht Schnell Springs from EAS. Thanks guys

Has anyone had any success reshaping this splitter? I've bent mine on either side so that the center 2 feet sit lower than either side and it looks a little... off. I watched a couple tutorials on youtube of people applying a heat gun to poly lips and remolding them and wondered if that+pressure might work on this as well?

How does the Lightweight front lip match up to the BMW M Performance side blades in terms of color?

The outer edge is about the same finish but the top of the lightweight lip is more of a gloss black finish. This is actually a good pic showing them courtesy of panzer948

Looks great.

I have the Lightweight front lip too ... but it has seen its share of kerb and hump rashes !

Any chance you can share the knock off ebay link ?

Cheers

Here you go.The 4 pillars fitment in the middle was off. I had to drill holes and the easiest way to install it was to jack the car up and remove the panels below(I have large hands) and I also wanted the fitment to be perfect. It took me roughly 1 hour to install it correctly. I will shoot an video of how I installed mines and upload it when I get an chance.

I bought mines for $280. The price went up to $299 now.

Hey the one I bought is polyurethane and it has a little flex to it. I can say the one I bought isn't going any where for a long time since the quality is pretty though.

not sure why but on some of these pics the lip looks wavy. I recently put mine on and its dead straight. has anyway noticed they get wavy over time or maybe the spacers were off?

I believe the original design had spacers that were a little too lengthy in the middle, making it look wavy.

Just had the newly revised design installed on mine and it looks dead straight too. Also, the center support is much thicker and looks great in person.

matt@supremepower · 05-05-2017, 07:02 PM

With the new design (Thicker front lip & center support) and proper installation, bowing will not happen.

Looks good. This lip is definitely one of the cleaner looking add on for this bumper.

ntg44 · 01-24-2019, 06:09 PM

Best lip ever. And I don't even worry about it scraping because it's so cheap. Bought it for the sole reason to protect my bumper after lowering and couldn't be happier.

mindspin311 · 01-24-2019, 07:47 PM

Can anyone scan and post the instructions?

chipper1 · 01-25-2019, 03:45 PM
