Will this affect fitment of a CF Aerolip?

overdrivex · 01-10-2016, 09:20 PM

I'm looking into installing an ECS tuning CF aero lip onto my E92. I have had some bumper damage (cracked) on the underside for the past year. I was just wondering, if I was to purchase an ECS tuning aerolip, would this affect fitment?

I would say it may slightly.

Thank you! As long as it isn't very noticeable, I wouldn't mind. Maybe I'll just pass on the lip though...

With how the lip mounts in mind you "should" be ok. But you'll have a soft spot in the bumper right there, I'd suggest at minimum doing a little quick fiberglass repair or plastic welding to put the bumper fully back together before installing a lip.

Thank you that makes sense! Do you think the lip should be okay without the repair? If not, I'll consider a fiberglass repair.

I can't tell 100% from the photos. But check out how the lip is installed in the video below. It's a terrible old video, but get's the point across. It should help you make that final call.

Thank you! Doesn't look like it should be too much of a problem.

I agree. Looks like the split is on the bottom side, no? Just make sure it's flat before putting the lip on

Yep, its on the bottom of the passenger side. The middle and drivers side are still in good shape. This was from two winters ago when I hit a chunk of ice that fell off a truck!

Luckily I was far back enough that it didn't fall on top of the car!
