YNWACY,

I would not get this from the source you point out. The word Carbon Fiber is something that is always abused. The ebay listing you posted provides no real information on how the piece was made. And for the price posted, I would assume that it is either FRP with a carbon fiber overlay, or fiberglass with black resin to give it that carbon fiber look.

If this is the case, then it is almost certain you will have problems with fitment. I can count with a little over half of ONE of my hands the companies I would buy carbon fiber from.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Setian

Thanks,

I know what you mean, I have an E60 with a quite a few CF mods, and the quality isn't always good.

It's the only lip I can find for this bumper so I may have to pull the trigger on it and hope for the best.

I like how they are using a picture of an actual Hamann car with an actual Hamann lip and showing it off as their own. Im pretty sure thats not allowed.


Nice lip though, the real one anyway.


To the OP, go with a real Hamann lip, not a fake one off eBay.
