Who wants to see my CRT lip??

671rover · 04-16-2012, 10:40 PM

Just got my lip in. The top side looks really good but the bottom side is another story. The bottom is a bit wavy and few areas of the bottom side is missing the clear coating. Just wondering if any of you are noticing the same thing. Thanks.

Papethova · 04-16-2012, 11:11 PM

To be honest I didnt pay much attention to the bottom side but I havent noticed anything except the scratches Ive gotten scraping it in my driveway (its super steep)

Lip arrived yesterday! took 10 days more coz my smart mail forwarder in NY lost the package. Anyhow it's here now

The finish looks really good I believe. for a low mounted part, any minor manufacturing defects will never show anyhow. 1x1 really matches the rear bumper gray part above the tail pipes.

Special thanks to Allen for making this happen

EINSER M · 04-25-2012, 02:04 AM

@Stratus650 beautiful lip! put it on!!!

Drillslinger · 04-25-2012, 09:08 AM

Wow, looks great

So how many folks got in on the group buy then?
(Trying to figure out when to expect MY lip, lol)

Heres a pic of mine holding up all the way to vegas and back for those worried about high speed durability (I have 3 rows of 1/2 inch double side tape and I put a bead of silicone on the leading edge to prevent wind from creeping underneath the tape).

carlosii · 04-25-2012, 09:51 AM

I'm still waiting for my lip also

... But at the end is worth the wait

Tony135 · 04-25-2012, 11:02 AM

We have to meet up again and discuss some ideas!

OK gang ......here we go .... thanks again to Pap's for pulling this together and thanks to Sam at Keenan's for great paint work (did spoiler and lip)! Put the lip on this morning and joined an Audi get together.

Received the lip in the mail 2 days ago, had the vinyl stripe applied and then took the extra precaution of wrapping the lip with PPF as well. Install was simple enough, better if you had a jack. 3 bolts reused, but I think there isn't enough purchase with the one in the middle. Might have to find something a little longer, but it's holding up as of now. Used another 3 rows of 3M tape on top of the one the lip came with. Tested to 180km/h, no problems so far!

Hi, did you order it through HP Autowerks? How did you clear custom with the order? I'm interested in ordering it too, but don't want to go through anyone if possible.

Thanks.

I think Drillslinger is the only BSM guy to order one thus far but he hasnt yet received his piece.

Drillslinger · 04-26-2012, 09:17 AM

Wow, I can't be the ONLY BSM to order through the Group Buy, right????

Ordered through HPA during the groupbuy stage. Sent with FedEx. Frankly, don't know how customs cleared, it was sent to my doorstep!

Get it man, it looks perfect!

In addition to http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...&postcount=197, here some pictures of ///M stripes on VO (a rare sight because most stripes feature on AW) during the BMW Driving Experience at the Nürburgring in October 2011.

M3EST participated to the BMW Driving Experience at the Nürburgring in October 2011 (http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...php?p=10743427). Below is one of his pictures.

Unfortunately, the red part of the ///M stripe partially blends in with the VO. Better contrast on AW.
