**********s front lip, any experience?
Hi guys,
new to the forum, awesome forum BTW. I bought my 135i a few weeks ago, and I'm looking for some carbon bits. I see that iCarbon do an awesome front lip for the car, but from what I've been reading it looks like they aren't in business any more. **********s have a very similar looking lip, but I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them regarding fit and finish? http://www.**********s.com/ModBargai...2-E88-135i.htm Normally I wouldn't mind buying something to try it out, but I'm in South Africa, so if it doesn't fit right, shipping back and fourth can get more expensive than the actual part itself. Thanks. |

You can certainly try and shoot them a PM. I was also interested in this lip as well, but when 2 of my PM's were left unanswered about availability, I looked elsewhere.
Best of luck!

Thanks bud.
On doing some further research, it appears that **********s actually distribute for iCarbon... which "seems" to be back in business. I suppose that's why the lips look so similar Will try and send them a PM and see what happens. Does anybody know who does a rep of the OEM carbon splitters, they also look pretty hot, but haven't seen a replica? |

It's a good price but I have installed and cracked two of them on my car. I know carbon fiber is the trendy thing right now but it's a brittle as porcelain. Even a slight hit will put small cracks in the clearcoat. These should be made out of dense plastic or rubber.
