Are you seeking OEM or Aftermarket?

You can try JL Motoring or JB Speed

The JB speed ones fit quite well and are less than half the price of OEM.

Just be sure to get real carbon fiber. If you are going to spend the money get the real thing.

There are a lot of places that sell M3 splitters that are 90% plastic and 10% carbon fiber on the top, were there are 100% carbon fiber molds for the same price.

Be sure to check photos from behind the product. If it is plain black it is the 90/10. If you see carbon fiber on the back it is the ones made from a mold. They are not OEM fitment but at least they are real carbon fiber.

Thanks for the advice. What is the best way to find out this information? Many of these sellers have pictures of cars with 'perfect' fit. They usually don't show you the back of the product.

I have found if they are not showing you the back of it, they are hiding the fact that only the top is carbon fiber.

Most will comment that what difference does it make, but they all cost the same. On eBay they are usually in the $200 range for the fakes and the real molds.

I don't have any no, but sounds like some good input from others in this thread. I'd trust the ones from ECS and Turner though.

This. I've had a set of OEM splitters, and two sets of JB Speed and couldn't tell the difference. Sure it doesn't reach all the way to the back, but they provide you with some gloss black vinyl to fix that. Not a big deal. The weave on the passenger side is also the opposite direction as OEM, but nobody will notice that. I would highly recommend JB Speed
