QJS · 10-30-2008, 04:18 PM

Awesomeness!

Looks good painted in AW, Congrats man, i had doubts.

GOU · 10-30-2008, 04:32 PM

love it :w00t:

lambammm · 11-06-2008, 11:34 AM

sorry man i don't really like it. makes it look like the hull of a ship, clunky. but to each his own. at least you got it from a good company.

N54tt · 11-06-2008, 11:36 AM

looks sick!!!!!!

135i_TT · 11-06-2008, 11:48 AM

I think it fits perfectly on the 135i and I dont think it's to bulky if anything makes the 135i look more aggressive...

mrgoochio · 11-06-2008, 12:34 PM

Cool, not my cup of tea but fitment and paint looks good so far so thumbs up to u

dbchun · 11-06-2008, 01:23 PM

looks good, i wish there wasn't an "edge" on the left and right corners where the top of the lip touches the front bumper

maybe its accentuated by the AW

guardianangel3290 · 11-06-2008, 02:49 PM

yea i agree with the bulky statement

just looks like two rectangle boxes are sticking out of the bumper

the finish and fitment are perfect though!!

Hot, now I definitely have to make this meet.

Garduna · 11-07-2008, 01:09 AM

It looks very nice

the only thing i don't like is seeing the seems of the lip but that's unavoidable it seems. Is there a place or method in getting rid of it perhaps?

btw random question, do you guys suppose the lip would look good on a sedona red or crimson red?

It can be molded in, but then you run the risk of cracking it if you smack into a curb or steep driveway.

I would love to see it in those colors

looks hot!!!

AchtungF80 · 11-07-2008, 08:49 AM

ahh! im so jealous! Someone got this lip installed on an AW car!
I like it, but im not too sure I like the seams on the sides, I think it needs to be molded/blended to look 1 piece with the factory bumper and it would look even better imho.

What material is it made of? Fiberglass? ABS Plastic? Poly?

SV Concepts III · 11-07-2008, 01:11 PM

I like it, I had a chance to see the full Hartge 135 at SEMA this past week and it is truly a work of art. Hartge makes a solid setup for this vehicle and I only wish I had a chance to drive it.

Hartge's fit and quality is spot on, equal to what you would expect from a factory upgrade.

Addict...Nah Im A Junkie! · 11-07-2008, 05:49 PM

Have a close up pic of the center connection area???

twin fed · 11-07-2008, 06:30 PM

The fitment of the lip is real good. HARTGE sends a tube of urethane to mount the lip to the bumper, but I did not want to permanently attach it. So I had the body shop use 3M tape. So it is not as tight as with the urethane but still fits nice. The lip itself is made of poly. I will post a better pic of the center section mounting points.

NY SLC 93 · 11-17-2008, 12:42 PM

At first I was all about this lip, but it may be too bulky looking. I would have to see it in person. How is it connected to the bumper?

twin fed · 11-17-2008, 07:29 PM

With the lip came a tube of urethane from HARTGE, but I did not want to make it permanent, so I had the body shop use 3M tape to connect it.

Hmmmmmm... Kind of reminds me of.....

ulrichd · 11-18-2008, 08:30 AM

Don't care for it at all. Completely out of scale with the rest of the car.

HighQ · 11-19-2008, 04:10 PM
