Cannot decide between front lips

Hix · 10-22-2011, 10:46 AM

Like the title says... I got a M3 a while back and I really think it looks plain without a lip when parked next to one with a lip. I have it narrowed down to two that I am pretty fond of. The car is Space Grey with black Vellano VSO wheels, black grills, black gills, and painted reflectors.

http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=333514 Not sure if I like the 1x1 or black on this lip.

Please no hate on the fact these are not the $2,000 front lips. I am saving for a new house and don't see the point of spending such a large amount on a cosmetic item.

those are my 2 favorite lips under $1k. I would get the arkym style one.

+1 for the Arkym........Phil

Of the 2 Arkym style I think would be the go

SchnellM3 · 10-23-2011, 01:12 PM

Another vote for Arkym over the Luma

Hix · 10-23-2011, 05:11 PM

I am kind of afraid I will break it getting in and out of the parking garage at work but that lip is really pulling ahead of the Luma

datbimmerdoe · 10-23-2011, 08:52 PM
