Unfortunately this would be false. All Carbon Fiber products have a set investment cost to make. If they make a second lip for a car that means they have to make a brand new prototype (2-4k), brand new mold(3-5k). This is why they are asking for a 20 person deposit to make this lip. There would be no benefit or a cheaper price for the 1M folks by asking a company to make a 2nd lip for a different car. There would be a benefit for the M3 folks yes but not the 1M guys.
