I am excited for you and excited there is another vendor we can go to for 1 series parts...

cooler2442 · 06-24-2011, 06:25 PM

Yeah, I just want to see how they look on the car. Always preferred front lips over these splitters but pictures on the car could prove me wrong.

AWD2RWD · 06-24-2011, 06:25 PM

Tell them to make an icarbon type front lip. sorry but all other lips for our 1-er are pretty gross.

3D Carbon > iCarbon. But it is also 1300$.

AWD2RWD · 06-24-2011, 06:42 PM

I wouldn't pay $50 for a 3D designs front lip. Stock looks better.

V8Beatr · 06-24-2011, 06:56 PM

Got the diffuser today... Review and pictures tomorrow. Looks great for 350.00. It is FRP with carbon overlay, not complaining, just fact. First impressions are that this is well worth the price.

So, I installed the splitters, but then I took them off. I just wasn't happy enough with the fitment. I think I rushed it a little and I'm going to take my time tomorrow. Unfortunately, I think it is going to take some sanding around the edges to get it to fit how I want it. Everything else about them fits good, its just that the edges in some areas seem a little long... maybe they did that on purpose. Better to be too long than too short. I'm not the biggest fan of installing something on my car only using double-sided tape, but I guess if you clean the surface, use the right stuff, and a lot of it, there shouldn't be an issue.... Will report back.

... one positive is that when they were on, I thought they looked really aggressive. Some who prefer the lip to continue all the way across may disagree and probably won't like it, but I love the look. It looks a lot like the BMW Perf factory splitters that you can get as an option on the M3.

Sorry for the first "bad" news... but I want to be as descriptive as possible so that people know the deal. I promise quality photos will be taken tomorrow! Supposed to be a beautiful day in STL.

Sylon · 06-24-2011, 10:48 PM

Damn, had my hopes up for pics tonight, lol.

Shoot me a text - I'll probably be doing an early morning detail on the wife's car and would be down to meet up, check out/help with these splitters, and do a photoshoot!
