ECS spoiler?
Hey guys, has anyone on here bought and fitted the ECS CF spoiler for our cars? I'm trying to figure out how close of a replica it is of the M Performance spoiler, and can't find definitive info. I used the "ask a question" function on their site and got no reply. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but I think that's a wrong link? It takes me to an M4 GTS wing rep

Yeah.. probably my fault, I'm more of a lurker than a poster, so my terminology is probably off. I'm looking for a spoiler similar to this one:
https://www.shopbmwusa.com/PRODUCT/4...R-REAR-SPOILER I'm honestly torn between that design and the "Exotics tuning style" that RW Carbon sells. |

I have the actual BMW M Performance spoiler but I also do have the replica CF side view mirrors. The quality of the reps are actually really good. The mirrors were around $80 vs $300-$400 for the M Performance version so I figured once the reps fade, I can just purchase a another set and I'd still be only at a fraction of what the M Performance cost.

If the CF component is not clear coated and is just left natural (especially if it is prepreg CF), then WD40 works well to maintain an un-clouded finish. Wipe on liberally, leave for 10 minutes then wipe off, any moisture absorbed into the surface of the resin gets displaced and the original clarity of the weave in the resin is restored.

Where did you get your mirror caps? That's definitely another item on my list; probably higher priority than a lip spoiler, to be honest. I guess I'm gun-shy with reps.. it's tough to know who to go with when I can't look at the products in person before buying.

Cool.. if there's a particular seller that you'd recommend, could you DM a link to me?

they are both called the mperformance spoiler.
most ppl don't call that old one the mperformance spoiler since the m4 gts came out with the "mperformance spoiler" on it. Also the new m2cs as the "mperformance spoiler" in its pics with all the other mperformance cf bits on it that have yet to be released. https://www.bmw-m.com/en/topics/maga...nce-parts.html

I got the ECS Spoiler installed on my former M235i with no problem, the only thing is that it doesn't perfectly fit compared to a MPerformance part, but nothing serious... it is unnoticeable [IMG][/IMG]

Thanks for the post and the photo! It really looks a lot like the M performance part. What's different about the fit compared to the official spoiler? Also, does it have logos on it anywhere? (really hoping that it doesn't...
