Front lip options

cmiller219 · 05-25-2016, 11:37 PM

So I was gonna go with a M Perf front lip for my M235 but saw one in person today. Man does it look cheap as hell. Wondering if anyone has better pics of better lips. I do not like CF either. I'm picky I know but I don't want something that looks cheap. Any thought? Ideas?

I have the M performance on mine and although to some people it looks cheap, I've gotten tons of compliments on it. You could always have the M performance lip painted!

I have a feeling a majority of the aftermarket lips you will find are going to be CF also.

I honestly think that the cheap looks comes from the plastic look. The dull black. I honestly think the design is awesome maybe you are right some gloss black paint would set it off

Check this out! It will be released very soon and they will be offering an FRP version that would need painting! In my opinion the best option that is not carbon fiber!

In that pic the car on the right appears to have the 3D Designs style spoiler. I think I prefer that over this. Mainly because it covers the bottom of those intake vents and blends smoothly into the rest of the lip.

I had the 3D design style lip last season and don't think it was aggressive enough and then I tried the M Performance style CF lip as well and wasn't a huge fan. I decided on the PDU because it is more aggressive than the 3D style but offers more ground clearance than M performance

Just paint it.

that looks great. Do you need to put something behind the portions that cover the bumper so it does scratch the bumper up in case you take off the lip?

Sorry to dig up an old thread here, but does anyone know if this PDU company is still around and producing front lips for our cars? I'm interested in the FRP front lip found in one of the links previously posted in this thread.

Lightweight. It's gloss black, 5 min install and nearly indestructible.

I have the RW Carbon front lip. Fits great, good quality and not that expensive.
