The ARKYM sits above the felt boxes (based on pictures I've seen). How about the Challenge?
Does either lip present issues with clearance? I wouldn't want something that's constantly scraping speed bumps and ends of driveways.

Any add-on front lip will present more of an issue in regards to clearance. However, judging from experience...the ARKYM lip has more clearance than the Challenge (which sits quite a bit lower than the ARKYM.)

i really like the challenge lip, i come so close to ordering it a lot and always back down.
I like the side profile of the challenge however the front looks wierd to me, I need to see one in person on a slammed e92 (white) |

I personally don't like the Challenge... seems out of place to me. But with Bape's pictures, it looks a lot different than the EAS pictures for whatever reason.
Arkym does it for me, love it a lot. Lumma is in a close 2nd though...

agree with everyone about arkym lip
example: arkym lip FTW The challenger lip for me doesnt flow. It extrudes out too much. Not clean for my taste! Ed Lin

You must factor in where the part is produced. Challenge is made in Wisconsin where is Arkym made?

I couldn't agree with you more.. from the side profile, the challenge looks sick. From the front, it looks really weird. To me, it just looks like some random piece of CF was stuck onto the bottom of the bumper. Keep your arkym!

I had the Arkym lip for a few months. I thought it looked pretty good...until I smashed it: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=439125
Waiting til summertime to replace with something else. Challenge is at the top of my list...but sooo expensive. |

Im waiting to see a challenge front lip on a modded white m3 in person, hopefully at a meet. As of now the Arkym is staying its so nice and clean . Not going to lie its going to take a lot for me to switch. Im waiting for their hood.
