OEM Aero Lip ?

Hey all,

I'm new to the forum, just joined about 2 minutes ago! I already tried searching and couldn't find an answer to what i was looking for...

I was wondering, how much lower is the front end after installing? (a couple of inches i would assume)

I ask because my driveway is slightly steep, and my e92 already scrapes if i don't go slow and at a slight angle

probably about half an inch. It looks low but it's actually not much lower than stock.

If you already scrape then you will scrape even easier.

I'd suggest if possible going in your driveway at the most angle possible.

I cant go down my driveway straight with or without the aero lip. (stock height).

Its about an inch at most lower. (big difference IMO).

Are you running on stock or sport suspension?

You shouldn't have too much trouble, it'll lower the front end about an inch as mentioned previously, but as long as you be careful going over speed bumps and driveways.

It's the tradeoff to having a good looking ride

Shoot me a PM if you have any other questions or if you'd like pricing on these pre-painted.

I have the sports package.

I think you are right, i love the way the lip looks...I'll probably just take it nice and easy to avoid scratching
