Competition Package Splitters Vs Vorsteiner Lip

Hey guys, so I have a 2011 E92 M3 ZCP coupe AW/FR and have decided on the Vorsteiner Type II rear diffuser.....now my only dilemma is the front end: its a tossup between the Vorsteiner Lip and the Competition package splitters...I have seen many pics of the AW with the Vorsteiner lip, but essentially none of the OEM splitters on an AW car...do you guys have any pics? also any recommendations (based on personal experience, etc...).....or just opinions in general....thanks

You've seen pictures, not cars with them. That's because, like me, you live in NY and will probably never see a Vorsteiner or Comp splitter on any car. Get what YOU like and dont try to be different

I have to agree that although many people say vorsteiner is way too common, here in NY I've only seen one other car with that set-up....

....anyways anyone with competition package splitter pictures on an apline white car? I feel like although it doesnt look real good on other colors, the splitters would look great on white because they stand out nicely...

but to this day, at least in my opinion, the VRS front lip is the best looking (classiest) lip out there...

Here's a photo from the BMW M3 brochure, not the best quality. I like them and plan on a set for my AW coupe, just need to get them for the right price.

Here's AW with the BMW carbon on...only few I have while at work. I can take more when I'm home if you want certain angles.

hm....any more pics of the oem splitters? cant tell from those pics if im feeling it or not...


@pyspeed.....yep ive seen the akrym and its a beautiful piece, but I feel like it takes away from the aggressiveness of the front bumper (in my eyes, but I know others love it more than the vorsteiner), but for my taste I love the vorsteiner..


for example, I feel like this front end looks alot better than the one posted above ^ (but I know others feel the complete opposite, its all preference)
