BMW Lip spoiler

Which deck spoiler is the best ?
I have seen one on MOD bargains and of course there is the OEM one.

And where is the cheapest place I can get one ?
Looking for both carbon fiber and non- carbon fiber ones

Thanks

The carbon replicas had fitment problems early on but we just got a new dry carbon version that is a much better fit and finish. The problem with the old carbon spoilers is that the curvature was not 100% correct so the ends would come up if you did not secure it correctly.

These new dry carbon versions solve that problem so you can install them with double sided 3M adhesive like the OE performance spoiler.

Where can we buy these new cheaper, dry carbon versions?

The one on Mod bargains is only 189 ?
and 249 for the carbon fiber one

Isn't that pretty cheap ?
Anyone have fitment issues with those ?

I would spend the money and get the BMW Performance CF spoiler. You don't want to be doing that spoiler job again and again AND again. The OE fit and finish of the performance cf spoiler is just gorgeous! 2nd to none. But... you do pay a high price for it. $450 I think. ?

I've been searching forever trying to find one of these trunk spoilers for a convertible in the 200-300 dollar range. Anyone seen those?

Not yet, still talking to them making sure if it's real carbon fiber or not. And just questions about the spoiler in general

I will probably get the Carbon fiber one since its only 199 now

Adhesive tape!?

That will hold the spoiler on at 100+ mph speeds!?

I had some chrome strips for one of my trucks and they had a peel and press adhesive that bonds to the car.

I am also looking for a decent priced CF Spoiler... What I can gather it will cost me 300$... what is the difference of the two posted on Jlevi?

i ordered the **********s one. they usually sell legit products and their customer service is pretty awesome. back home the parents say it looks legit and well built. it DOES NOT come with 3m tape so youll need to find the best type out there. also 3m tape remover for the residue from the OEM one....
