E90 M3 Front lip help..

Bweitz1 · 07-13-2012, 02:30 PM

Hello fellow BMW enthusiasts, I need some suggestions...I am currently on my 2nd Challenge CF front lip, unfortunately I cracked the 2nd one. Now im lost. Don't know if I should spend the $1200 on a 3rd Challenge lip or go in a different direction. Any other lips on the market people can highly recommend or just stick with Challenge? I have some pics of the 2 cracked lips, the first lip i was able to fix(not pictured) but now have to paint to match car, but since I like the CF look im not sure what to do. Please help me with suggestions. I was thinking about just doing the vorsteiner bumper but still cant decide.

Here are some pics of my cracked lips and my car..Please help, do not like stock bumper without lip...

Well any lip is susceptible to damage. Up to you whether you wanna drop the cash on another one or not.

My gut feeling says that you, your roads, and that lip are just not compatible. Stage 2 clinger... time to part ways bro.

if you are dead set on getting another lip, I would at least suggest getting a rep lip as damage occurs far too often...keep an eye on the classified section as well..front splitters turn over often, most have damage, but if you don't mind repair and or getting it repainted say gloss black or vinyl wrapping it (even consider doing that to your current splitter), might be a more cost effective choice..

you could always consider getting a full on front bumper replacement as well...again, still vulnerable to cracks and scrapes...good luck...

Fix this one and get it painted gloss black you'll never know.... I personally still like the looks of the Challenge lips the best

I'd go without, still looks awesome!

One day, I realized that trying to make a street car perform and look like a race car while still using it as a street car just isn't a smart thing to do.
