E90 OEM splitters. Need some input

Got a silver 2007 335i with sport package, looking to get the OEM splitters for the front bumper. I would buy OEM, I buy everything OEM, but I don't want the carbon fiber look. I want it painted to match the car, so no sense in paying an extra $500 or so if I'm going to paint over the carbon fiber anyway. That leaves me looking at the replicas, anyone have any experience of who makes a great replica? I want the fitment to be identical to OEM (no gaps etc), and for it to not look aftermarket at all, exactly OEM. I was looking at this one:

Anyone have any experience with there quality? Or have suggestions on another seller?

Is it so hard to search for splitters or search the feedback section on a vendor?

Ive never had good luck with any of the reps. always some issue. After 3 sets from different manufacturers and a couple replacements for bad fitment they all eventually ended up in the trash. I finally went oem and had a PERFECT fitment. Its worth the extra cost even if your painting it from my experience. There might be some ok fitting reps out there but it will never be what your looking for.

If you read what I wrote, I'm looking for input from people who have tried the reps. Yeah let me go by what the websites say.... Think they're gonna tell me the fitment is not good? And feedback? You mean those 2 lines people write saying it was fast shipping and what not? I'm looking for specifics on fitment from people who have tried. Thanks for the input...

That's kinda what I was thinking. Just hated the fact of getting such a nice carbon piece just to paint right over it. Might be what I need to do tho. Thanks

We guarantee the fitment and finish on our painted reps or your money back, if that's any consolation.

Correct. We'd cover the shipping expenses back/forth as well if within the 30 day period.

Last question then, any reason it's so much more than the link I posted? They seem to offer 100% guarantee as well. Any deals you can provide?

We guarantee the fit and finish, I can't speak for the products of other vendors but we stand by our product utilizing OEM PPG approved paints for a 100% color match. Feel free to PM me if you had any other questions or concerns.

Hit up LTBMW OEM Front Splitters painted, and a awesome price. I'm waiting on a pair for my friends e90 right now.
