CF/FG front lips

need ideas for lip. i have 08 335i sedan w/ sport package. i dont think it has any of those M package stuff like the lip? i really want one that gives it a more aggressive look and a lower stance in the front without having to actually lower it. THANKS & feel free to post pics of your car with front lips! i rather get CF so i dont have to paint it

OK, well just for the record, on all of the E9x's, the M-sport package does not include a lip for your car.

And just as a form of double-check, your bumper looks like this:

and not like this:

Well, a lip won't make your car look THAT much lower to the ground. While, of course, it will make the clearance between the bumper and the ground less, it will not look like your car has been shipped off for some serious StanceWorks.

At any rate, you can get the AC Schnitzer lip (google it) and some people have that, and I think it looks a bit gaudy with its "double post" design. However, a user modified his AC lip and took off the posts located inward of the fog lights, see here http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...1/a715a969.jpg and I really like it! See the thread here http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ight=schnitzer

Apparently, hartage also makes a lip, which might be worth checking out.

And with any of these, you can get "rep" products, or "OEM" (i.e. the ACS lip from ACS, not a replica of the ACS lip). The "OEM" ones will likely fit better than the "rep" products, but they are going to be more expensive.
