Thanks. I would like to see some member feedback if someone on here gets it.

I think it's a good start for vendors to come up with more 1x1 weave products.

My friend got another "brand" replica front lip from them.... the quality is phenominal. Just like the real thing

I know the whole moral thing going on and not to buy replica's. I bought all vorsteiner brand products for my car but the front lip is just too expensive and its just going to get messed up. Especially with my car being lowered. i just cant spend that much money on something thats going to get messed up

KINGLEH · 01-11-2009, 09:06 PM

the lower front bumper on the E9x M3s are pretty complicated.. So its a little more risky to go with a replica lip...

I have the 3D design one.. and it cost alot. but it fit perfectly...

If i ever hit something and rip it off.. i will prob try this replica lip out... im sure with some grinding and a lil will power.. i can be made to look pretty good...

We are an official distributor for 3D in the US, and the Authentic pcs are top-notch in fitment.

Having said that, I haven't seen this pc or know anyone who has them on. From the pictures, it looks pretty good.

Can't believe the replicas are already out, though!

FStop7 · 01-12-2009, 12:51 AM

Of course the question is...

Is the lip in the pics a replica or is it a genuine 3D lip that they bought to make their own product look better? That has been done in the past. They must have bought a real 3D lip at some point in order to get the measurements for their clones.

spyderco10 · 01-12-2009, 02:03 AM

looks good. now someone be the guinea pig, buy it, and let us know how it is.

thats true..

also looking at the pics closely.. it looks like their logo is Photo shopped onto the hood.... to make it look like a sticker...

The 3D diffuser has two under piece that are detachable from the front lip.

yea... the 2 lil extender pieces don't come attached... i chose not to stick them on my lip.. its looks better without them imo...

FStop7 · 01-12-2009, 04:42 PM

The extenders look like fangs, not into the vampire look

PunjabiM3 · 01-12-2009, 07:30 PM

Is the 3D design lip about the same price as Vorsteiner or more?

Kev · 01-12-2009, 07:41 PM

More, about 800-900 more.

I scrape the bumper all the time!

Dropped but no lip yet. I wonder how long a lip would last me

Good point. I occasionally scrape the underside of the bumper (black underpanel) on steep driveways. Not lowered right now, but have had springs sitting for 3 weeks. I may get around to installing them tomorrow!

KINGLEH · 01-13-2009, 12:24 PM

i am lowered with a lip.. and i have yet to scrape my lip... but i scrape the black thing under the bumper all the time.. its actually lower then the lip still.....

How the hell do you scrape a stock M3? Even with H&R sports drop, which is hardly a drop, you shouldnt scrape.
