Any body bought this CF front lip from eBay?
Saw this :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/08-11-BMW-E8...8ea90c&vxp=mtr Wondering the fitment and look. And I guess ModBBBBargain is selling exactly the same thing. |

I bought one from him. It arrive promptly and in good condition, boxed in light weight 1/8" plywood box. The fit was OK though there was a small gap on the top passenger side. Used some black caulk to fill the crack and it looks good.

Hi,
Thanks for posting this question and the above reply. I'm looking at the same lip. Can anyone tell me how much of the center front portion does the lip cover? Halfway up the front leading edge? Thanks! |

RW Carbon makes one that fits properly. It's about the same price I believe. I'd just go with that.

How did you install it? Did it require drilling into the bumper?

Here are some close-ups. Attached with 4 screws on either side and I used 3M tape for the center. You can see the caulk, black Sherwin-Williams , on the passenger side and center. Noticeable close up but from normal viewing distance hardly noticeable. For a part that is sure to be damaged sometime in the hopefully distant future I can't see spending much more than this.

Thanks for posting those close up pictures.
It's exactly the same as the RW Carbon one. They probably get it from the same source. The m0d-barga!ns one sounds like an iCarbon replica with their installation instructions... Too bad the ebay link jacked up their price to $399. It was originally $279 or something...

-- Please replace "!" with "i" The iCarbon one is mounted that way. On the other hand, RW Carbon and the ebay one (from what user "gap" is saying), doesn't use this method but drilling your own screws into the bumper type of install. I won't be surprised if the m0d-barga!ns one is the exact same way as RW Carbon or the ebay one in terms of mounting methodology to be honest... If that's the case, then all 3 of them are probably getting the lip from the same source...

Hi, is there any chance of getting a close up on the middle part of the lip? that part that channels the air to the IC, does it sit flush with the bumper lip?

Just sent them an email telling them to list it for 279. They are full of sh!t trying to charge 399.99 for a replica.
Update: Seller responded saying 'We're out of stock, which is the reason we raised the price to thwart off buyers. We'll have more soon, and will reduce the price at that time' Last edited by n54door; 05-06-2015 at 11:16 AM.. |
