Front Lip Choices

[UdubBadger]

fuck yeah I would.... if i had money.

[V8Beatr]

Count me in in that lip, it's pretty badass!

[Focusedintntions]

I'd like to see a lip that functionally does something besides collect bugs lol

[t02t]

that challenge GT lip would be pretty sick if its done right.. and priced right

[shftat8]

Price point would be @ $1K. These lips are full carbon construction and made in the US.

[HondaGoneRogue]

LOL @ 1k for a front lip.

[UdubBadger]

well iCarbon was $800. $1k is a bit much seeing as our cars aren't that expensive. $1k lip on a $75k M3 or $90k 911... sure. on a $40k 1er... its a bit much. If they somehow made it $600ish the market would be booming, they'd sell a lot of pieces but also make a pretty good amount per item. Market equilibrium is what they need to find, $1k isn't it.

Problem even if our car isn't expensive is that there is not a large sum of us who would buy these lips like the E90 guys hence we are always charged with these price premiums.. so ya if someone made this it could be 1K+ lol.. just being realistic here.

However if someone did make it I'd be in for sure.. looks sick... still waiting for someone to make M3 sides for our cars.. the 1M sides are as good looking imo.

Yup if someone can make a good looking already painted black front lip for 500$ish I would be in.

[t02t]

Funny how the M3 has a shitload of lips for ~400$

[shftat8]

There are full carbon construction front lips for M3s for $400? Not sure I've seen those. A urethane lip would definitely be do able in the $400-$600 range, but the tooling costs involved are very expensive for as small a market as the 1er is. I would imagine we would need to do a group by to cover the initial costs of something like this. Keep in mind these would all be made in the US. Not some cheap China imitation part.

^I understand the points you make,
but it just seems that the majority of us are looking for lips in the ~500$ range, but
thanks for trying to make this work

[Focusedintntions]

+1 for the $500 range. Anything above that are its ridiculous for the price point of the car. I can see higher prices for 100k+ or even 75k+ cars as the buyer demographic is different. For us its just plain dumb to spend that much on a purely cosmetic piece.

[UdubBadger]

yes thats the econ side of what a business needs to consider when making parts for a specific marketed consumer.

[SupremePower3335]

I actually do still like the 1M lip..but if I go that route I would consider the entire kit..

[AWD2RWD]

i'd do one of those lips, but not for 1K. I agree, I mean, for my Evo for example, a really nice quality APR lip is only $550, its just the amount the car is worth. I can't think a front lip for this car should be over $800 at the very most.

the 3D design parts are the most absurdly priced parts, IDK how they sell a single piece.
