FEELER CF Front Lip Group Buy

A friend of mine makes custom carbon fiber products. I just got to the 1 series world and I saw that there aren't much options when it comes to front lips. I talked to him about it and he is willing to make a front lip option for the 1 series m-sport bumper as long as I get a couple of people on board. I would like to see if anyone would be interested in this.

The lip will look something like this without the wings and will be made with high quality stuff.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-11-BMW-E8...be230f&vxp=mtr

Price will be anywhere from $400-500.

Depending on what the lip looks like and how it bolts up, I may be interested. $400 sounds a lot better though...

I'll be down especially if it looks like the Slek lip. Also, it's very important for me that there's no drilling req'd.

It will come pre drilled but we are still trying to figure out the design of it. It'll be like the slek lip but not as extreme.

Id be interested depending on how it looked. obviously cheaper would be better, but not if it would sacrifice quality.

So long as the price isn't as extreme either then I'm down.

same here... been wanting a nice subtle front carbon lip to flow nicely with my carbon trunk wing. if it looked like that one (flat with the curves in the middle conturing to the bumper's lines) and no wings on the edges i think it'll look great.

Also so long as there's height to it. I don't like splitter type lips like Kersher.

If it looks like the mod-bargains one, I'm in... I've been holding out for this one. Just want a better price. Seems like without the wings it will look pretty similar.

Why can't they mimic the Slek lip?

I would be interested as well. Definitely will be keeping my eye out for this.

On a side note I congratulate your friend if this works out. There is a serious lack of options for the e82 out there. Especially considering the sheer amount of options already out there for the F30 3 series that has been out for so little time.

I agree... The selection is almost non existent. We need more manufacturers! Hopefully it ends up looking more like the mod bargains/icarbon front lip. The slek lip is just to bold for my taste.

Lets get this going! I was able to buy a carbon fiber spoiler & defuser for $500 on eBay, found from a thread on here... Installed both of them very easily. And while it isn't BMW performance quality they both look great with only small cosmetic faults & fit is great.

The slek lip is very nice. Would buy if it looks close to it.

Look like we are getting a lot of people interested. Hopefully I can make this happen and maybe start a line of cf parts for the 1 series like icarbon. We need something like this. There isn't much love for the e8x

This. If this can happen, I am 100% in.
