OEM or JLevi Aero lip?

TahoeOG · 11-21-2007, 10:10 AM

Quick question. I'm looking for front aero lip for my e92. The cheapest i found was at mileoneparts.com for $285.00 Jlevi has one on his site for $249.99 unpainted just like the other. PRIMED. (that's what i want)

Will the Jlevi alternative be good enough?.. I purchased things from Jlevi before and he has never let me down on quality and punctuality.

TahoeOG · 11-21-2007, 11:36 AM

cool thanks guys

I second that, go with OEM. Nothing can go wrong with oem

Sideshow · 11-21-2007, 10:03 PM

Well....JLevi is local to me. So I'm thinking of driving over and picking one up.....I'll save the shipping cost, which is, I believe, $70 or so. Plus, I can test one to ensure fitmet.

I understand everyone's point, but don't be so quick to dismiss JLevi.

sejoon85 · 11-21-2007, 11:47 PM

well if it's local, then sure go for it, and the fact that you can test the fitment is a plus. If fitment is good, then go for it. In that case, I would too

fyi you can't pick it up from them whenever. they only allow you to drop in at certain times and it's like 1 or 2 days out of the week between a certain times. double check with their website.

We are open 10am-3pm Tuesday and Thursdays for drop ins but feel free to drop by tomorrow as Jon and I will be around for black friday specials

oem is almost always better than a replica. There are certain times a replica is the same but for 35 i wouldnt risk it.

!Xoible · 11-22-2007, 09:25 PM

OEM. IMO it's the most aggressive looking

skim7x · 11-22-2007, 09:29 PM

Is this the "Front bumper and grille / Spoiler / Spoiler" you are looking at on that site? I am interested in that part, too, but I'm seeing $308.00 for that part... which part are you looking at?

SV Concepts III · 11-22-2007, 11:40 PM

Here you go

We are doing these lips for $249.99 + ship.

Nick, how similar is your part to OEM? Can I trust that it is exactly the same and will fit equally as well?

SV Concepts III · 11-23-2007, 12:02 AM

This is from the same factory that does all of our lip spoilers- meaning you can expect OEM fit and the same guarantee we offer on the rest of our parts.

greentea335i · 11-23-2007, 06:43 PM

nothing beats OEM.. but if the fitment is the same then heck why nOT?
