Any Lips for M3 Similar to Slek 1M Lips?

Does anyone know of any lip that is similar to the Slek lips for the 1M?

Here are photos of the lips I'm referring to:

http://hpashop.com/SleK-1M-Carbon-Fi...lip-e82-1M.htm

http://hpashop.com/SleK-1M-CRT-Style...lip-e82-1m.htm

In reference to the first, I'm looking for something that is low profile and that does not close up the openings on either side of the bumper. I know some lips have brake ducting there but I'm not interested in installing brake ducts and just want a relatively minimalist piece under the bumper (such as the Slek lip).

As to the second, I've only seen CRT style lips for the M3 in a 1X1 weave. Anyone know of a vendor that sells them in a 2X2 weave, or whether the Slek lip fits the M3? I'm aware of IND's lip but I'm not willing to pay anywhere near that much for a simple CRT style lip.

Thanks!

I have the Slek lip on mine but it will only work with the M3/1M bumper.

That's too bad. It's such a great looking lip for those of us that want something a bit more understated. I contacted a vendor who said he'd contact Slek to see if they were going to make a lip for the M3. Hope they do.

I saw on iND's Facebook page once there is a lip that's similar to the slek. It's a gt4 lip "shorty" or something like that. Maybe by RKP?

Edit - yup that's it. Go look at their Facebook page and pictures around April. It's right after the green M3 photoshoot. Price is a killer though, 2400. But the lip is the best looking one I've ever seen for an M3. Do it!!

I just checked it out and it's pretty good looking but not precisely what I have in mind. But perhaps more importantly, the price is just too high for a lip.

There's no beating the quality of IND's CRT lip:



I love mine to death.

Well that lip is as close as you can get to slek, it's really a unique lip.

Otherwise I would say mode carbon variant 1. It's the same minus the vents

It is nice but the price is beyond what I'm willing to spend for a lip.

I saw that as well. How is the fitment and did you have to drill holes in your bumper to install?

I may look into getting custom lip made but I suspect the cost will be prohibitive.

I thought I knew one, but after looking at the Slek one up close, what I saw looks nothing like it.
