I did...
After running a Euro bumper with molded splitters for a while I decided to add and mold-in a CRT lip to create a unique look.

I think the splitters plus lip looks a little wonky. Get a bigger lip or the oem splitters, but why combine?

There are larger full width splitters/lips that look nice. Why combine 2 totally different products?

Yeah, why do something different? Everyone should stick to the plan;
1. Snap on factory splitters 2. Install Angel Eyes 3. Snap in body-colored reflectors. 4. Stop- You are now modded, 5. Go on M3post and talk about how modded you are.

I've thought about doing this. Either the splitters by themselves, or the lip by itself (especially) look weird, but together they look like they complete one another, if that makes sense? I'm just not sure if I want to go all out with tons of carbon fiber, but I've thought about doing the whole package (front lip, side skirts, diffuser and rear wing). Still up in the air about it

I like how the 3 pieces look together but wonder if that is how BMW engineers intended they be used. I would find it interesting to understand how they perform together in a wind tunnel.
Not that any drivers in the US are regularly cruising at highway speeds where it would matter. If the combination of the splitters and CRT lip negatively influence the effectiveness of the other component I would prefer not to install both. |

Way too busy, IMO. Pick one or the other.
