i prefer splitters on the mtech as opposed to the arkym lip. the straight bottom doesn't look too nice unless your car is really slammed

I'm actually getting a replica VRS m3 lip molded on my m3 front bumper replica. I'll post pics when it's done. IMO MTech and M3 front bumpers don't look good without splitters or lips. They don't look low enough even after being lowered. Not as aggressive without them.

Agreed. So please, get yours done and provide me a link. My lip is busted (wife borrowed the car) and I need a full replacement. Figured might as well upgrade at the same time.

was on the right track but following up with the poster, it was a no go
This looks as though it fits perfect in the pic, what was the problem that it was a no go.
Any other pics showing where it didn't fit.

What exact splitter was that? where from and how much?

i deleted the PM's, but iirc, they were ebay lips, the guy installed them on his car and they ended up misaligned.

Splitters do not look so good on mtech, gives it a cheap look.. I AM NOT KNOCKING ON THE CAR BELOW but if you look at the mouth area between the splitters, it doesnt flow well.

I can't help but disagree. IF ANYTHING, it makes it look more aggressive, not cheap. I have a similar setup on my car, but I added the OSS Designs 1 piece splitter to the 3D splitters.

If I did not have this setup, I would have gone with Arkym or Hamann,

Totally agree those corner splitters make it more aggresive, but yours with added splitter all the way across is stunning, now my favourite option,
So it's 3D corner splitters and a flat splitter from OSS Designs, where and how much?

Cheers

it was just my opinion, others such as yourself may disagree.
