Aero Lip that requires no drilling?

digi19 · 07-22-2009, 07:28 PM

Is there a vendor here that has the aero lip that is a direct bolt on to the factory screw holes that already exist in the bumper? I'm not too crazy about the idea of drilling into my bumper and relying on 3M tape alone isn't comforting either.

I have JBspeed splitters I ordered a couple weeks ago. Painted body color. Paint is good and the fitment was about 90/95%. They also line up with the bolt holes. It fit so snugly I could have put them on and not used anything but I used the factory bolts and no tape instead.

I don't think we're talking about the same lip. I'm looking for the Aero Lip that comes with the aerodynamic package from BMW.

+1 The replica and OEM lips reuse the factory bulbs underneath the bumper.

+2. You do have to choose between double sided tape or betalink to attach the top portion of the lip.

no drilling just double sided tape and the screw under the bumper

Search the Vendor ********. They have a great aero lips rep's that are pre-painted and pre-drilled. Excellent fitment!

BS. The fitment on mine is barely acceptable and the color match is noticeably off when the car is under direct sunlight. Not to mention the horrible paint quality with insane amount of overspray.

Just go with OEM from Longtran or tischer. It's about 80-120$ more expensive but I'm sure its worth the investment.

I am only speaking from my personal experience. I am local and went to the Z Shift shop to pick up the aero lip. I looked over many of their products, and when it came to my JB/CF aero lip, it fit 99% perfectly, and the paint was good quality. That being said, is the oem paint and fitment better, of course yes, but for the paint quality and fitment for the price, I am 100% satisfied. To each their own, but I am very happy with the Z Shift aero lip, and they are a fantastic rep dealer.
