Curious if anyone has purchased this exact one and how was the quality. |

Honestly, for $90, it's worth a shot. I picked up an mtech lip off ebay last year and fitment is pretty goddamn good. No complaints for the price I paid.

Also I know it'll just get beat up hence why I thought about it instead of ruining a CF one |

I also bought one, it is indeed very flimsy and like mojo said it just looks like wavy plastic under the car :/

Does it at least meet the end of the bumper near the wheels? I'd consider buying one as a core, then overlaying carbon fiber over it (not vinyl, actual CF).

How has the paint held up? I got an mtech lip from ebay and had it painted but I'm debating whether to apply a coat of paint protector to prevent rock chips

What I would like to find is somebody who makes an Arkym style front lip for a LCI Mtech bumper such as the one on my 335is but in PU that can be paint or wrap instead of a CF one. PU would be more forgiving than CF and the cost should also be lower too. I wouldn't feel as bad scraping over bumps with a PU lip versus a CF one.

I had it painted by a local shop that I go to for all my paint needs. So I can't speak to the eBay paint quality, sorry.
