Doesn't anyone make a Polyurethane Front Lip?

Soft plastic, Poplyurethane, etc......whatever it's called. The Porsche Turbo has one. I don't get why there isn't one yet for the M3. Hmmmm, maybe its because it lasts longer and is less prone to cracking?.....

This has been brought up a few times, and I believe the final conclusion was Vorsteiner once did, but no more. Apparently it would cost more to develop and manufacture a Poly lip...something to do with molds.

I found it is best for me to just go with some of the cheaper knock offs. I have a hard time justifying $1500 for something, that IMO, is a disposable part. Some asshat stomped on my ARKYM lip, so now I have a ACS knock-off on it's way here. There are so many steep drive way entrances and curbs here in Europe it makes driving with a lip fairly stressful. Once I get back stateside I might re-invest in a quality name brand lip...I really like what Arkym offers.

You're in luck, the gloss black front lip and rear diffuser (ARKYM) as showcased on our Project MR E92 M3 are for sale...check the classifieds

I'm in this boat also. I don't want a CF lip because it would look odd being the only CF on my car. And a fiberglass lip will crack the first time I drive it.

Has anyone found any options?

It'd be cool to have an flexible and durable polyurethane GTS-style front lip at an affordable price.

I got my poly lip a long time ago to bad they don't make them anymore. It was worth the $300 I paid for it
