CF Front Lip
Hi,
does any of you have experience with these Taiwan / China CF front lips? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Fiber...-/221971746166 http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Style-Car...-/322301099641 http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-BMW-E89-...-/271948469302 |

The problem with stuff from china is if you have to return it, shipping is outrageous. Plus you have to pay for a signature of receipt or they'll deny getting it back. Otherwise, you can beat the price if you're willing to assume the risk.

I've got the full Ebay Chinese carbon fiber lip kit.
The fitment on the front was close, but not perfect. Had to bend and stretch it a little to get it to fit right. The side sills fit perfect. The rear fitment was terrible right out of the box. I had to modify it quite a bit to get it to fit right. So overall, I'd recommend the front and sides, but not the rear diffuser unless you want to spend some time custom fitting it. Pics for reference, hope it helps. CF Lip Kit 01 by Steve, on Flickr CF Lip Kit 02 by Steve, on Flickr CF Lip Kit 03 by Steve, on Flickr CF Lip Kit 04 by Steve, on Flickr |

I just ordered a non m sport 3D design front lip from a seller in china. So I hope it fits well. They just painted it so I'm waiting a few days for it to dry and then they are shipping. I will probably get it in a few weeks. Here's the link for reference. https://www.ebay.com/itm/322107047977
I'll keep you guys updated on fitnent. Zteve, a little off topic but I'm planning to get the side skirts as well later down the road but do you know if those fit the non m sport side panel? It looks pretty clear that there is no difference between the m sport side and the non m sport side panel but sellers on eBay list it as m sport only. I'm hoping it will fit any E89 |

Sure, I got all 3 pieces from benz-vs-bmw on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/191699522274...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Looks like the front isn't in stock right now, may have to email them. They ship from within the US, so shipping doesn't take too long. |

FYI, I got my front and side CF lip from a seller here called ikonmotorsports, all the parts are ship from US location and the price was cheaper than eBay.

What springs are you on? I just installed the HR sport springs and was wondering if adding the front lip makes it too low to be practical? |

I haven't left my driveway yet since lowering it. I suppose I should see if I hit the curb going in/out first. I do like the looks of the front lip and side sills |

They were a perfect fit. It's been a while since I put them on, but I think they were OEM covers that Tekarbon skinned with carbon fiber. The overall fit and finish was great, very impressed with them.
