Hartge Replica Lip Part2

Ryan and those that have the lip installed, what does the lip look like in the area shown by the pics? Is it a flush fit or is there a gap?

Also, how is the paint match? Thanks.

You need to put a lot more double side tape in that area to get a more flushed look.

you will still have a gap.

Another member posted instructions for some epoxy compound you can use to fill the gap. Do a search for that or look at early posts under this thread.

exactly what franko said... you must put 3m double sided tape to fill in the gap. we do have a few lips instock.. call us to order

I don't have an E90 yet but I just want to ask something for future reference...your lip is FRP which I hear is pretty strong, but what are the authentic Hartge lips made from? fiberglass? I think I want the Hartge lip when I get an E90 but I'd really like to stay away from fiberglass if possible. Thanks!

fiberglass can break really easy, our FRP is fiber reinforced plastic...its a lot stronger. call me for more info.. we have them instock
