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:

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.
I have the Revinora R-CRT street chin. Its pretty subtle yet fills in the middle of the bumper

v nice - any more pics?
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.
