Expensive morning: Cracked iCarbon Lip.

[ulrichd]

Guys, I am getting some very generous offers for my torn up lip. Thank you.

For now I have added some touch-up paint and will not get a new one right now as I have other bills coming up. I was part of the original $499 group buy and I find it much harder to part with $700 plus shipping for a new one.

Once I decide to replace it, AND if it doesn't come apart when I remove it I'll be in touch with those of you that have sent me PMs. In the order of highest offer first

Thanks again.

eh that sucks. Lowered cars really asking to be biffed or scraped on anything worse than a shallow driveway. I'm not sure how guys driving Ferrari's or other stuff like that put up with it.

They have a feature that raises the nose of the car by 3 inches at the push of a button

repair it and paint it black

I wanted one so bad but I knew w/ my luck and how I-95 is in SFL, I knew this would eventually be me

I wish they would come out w/ a urethane version

It's not that bad my 128 is only lowered about 3/4". My previous car was a lowered Cooper S so I got used to taking driveways at a diagonal and not pulling all the way into parking spaces to avoid curbs and bump stops. This time I just wasn't paying attention.

if my stock 135 were any lower i think i would've lost the bumper a long time ago ...

I don't have a lip and I still scrape coming out of my drive way if i have anyone in the car but me. Also, mine is a DD and sometimes they are a little slow plowing the roads in Colorado...

But I agree that they do make the front of the car look awesome, I think I am going to get the BMW Performance front and then just add those splitters that BMW offers for it, I don't think those would scrape.

They still scrape....On a side note I have scraped mine multiple times and they still have held up remarkably well considering I have had them going on 3 years now....BUT I will probably replace them within the next 1/2 year or so....
