Front Lip Choices

UdubBadger · 04-12-2011, 08:54 PM

Cracked my iCarbon front lip on a curb about a month ago. It's not HORRIBLE but I want my car to be show quality so that won't do.

Wondering what people are buying OTHER than iCarbon for front lips.

Ones I know of already:

Vorstiener - are these even in current production?
Hammmmmmannnnn - not a fan
AC Schnitzel - again, not a fan
Hartge - I don't have $20,000 to spend on a front lip plus its a little bulky for my taste.
3D design - not bad but looking for CF or gloss black and hate those 2 gaps it leaves in the center.

Am I out of options here? Does anyone make a fuller front lip like this one?

I am trying to get my hands on a Kerscher lip/splitter..

I wish Arkym made something for us.. maybe a full bumper..

UdubBadger · 04-12-2011, 09:23 PM

any pix of kerscher? I'm lazy.

UdubBadger · 04-12-2011, 09:23 PM

oh, that looks good actually...

3D like Jzhang is about the fullest that i've seen.

UdubBadger · 04-12-2011, 09:27 PM

I might just also get the BMW performance front bumper... any thoughts?

yeah I'd like that one if it didn't have those 2 gaps right in the middle and was just full.

Plus I want it to be either CF or gloss black.

dcho · 04-13-2011, 10:21 AM

link?

full lip or splitters?

UdubBadger · 04-13-2011, 10:33 AM

found it. looks like just splitters... not a bad option but I want something bigger that goes around the center too.

dcho · 04-13-2011, 12:41 PM

is it possible to make a fiberglass mold to achieve the look you want? you could use the splitters as the starting point

adrean8j · 04-13-2011, 01:09 PM

I like my performance bumper (but you already knew that)...but there aren't any aftermarket lip options for it that i know of...just the BMW splitters...

yeah this is the most viable option for me at this point.

and i'm not wealthy enough nor mechanically/creatively inclined enough to fabricate something dcho

UdubBadger · 04-13-2011, 01:29 PM

i wonder if the kerscher would fit on the bmw performance bumper... that'd be kinda jazzy no?

My splitters got cracked right before I left the states...would be cool if the Kerscher lip were/is viable.

I vote for the Kerscher or BMW performance.
