First of all, congrats on finally getting through this lip ordeal. It has been a long and tortuous (yes, and at times torturous) year of missed expectations.

I about gave up on you, but, here we are...and the damn shipment is still lost at sea!!!??!!

Tell me if I'm wrong, but it looks to me like you have two different versions of the lip. For convenience sake and for easier reference, I numbered the pics from 1 to 14.

Version one (pics 1-6, 11-14) lip seems to have an indent that flows differently from the other version (pics 7-10), which looks more like a crease near the bottom of the lip.

I like the way the first lip indents evenly (no bulges) inward and then juts out in pics 1-6, 11-14. Too bad the splitter extension at the bottom isn't more pronounced. IMO, just a slightly bigger (but not too much bigger) and better defined splitter on either side would have looked even better.

I really don't like the creased lip in pics 7-10 (reminds me of the way some crown molding curves inward), unless they are one and the same lip, but photographed at an angle that creates an optical illusion.

There are some pics (11-14) showing a gap between the OEM bumper near the edge of the fog light housing and the lip. I understand that the lip was on for fitment, but will that gap on the edge of the fog light disappear once the lip is molded onto the bumper?

How tight is the fitment, really? Does the side of the lip cover the OEM lip on the top edges of each side near the fog lights so it looks seamless?

Until then, I will have to wait to purchase until you have better pics (showing a finished look) installed.

They are all the same lip, no difference other then some are FRP and some are CF. All the angles of the photos do play some tricks on you though, but they are all the same items and style

The fitment in the last series of images is just slid on the car, no tape - no screws - no molding is done, it is purely resting on the front bumper by itself, and the fitment is spot on!

If you mold it to the car, it will look flawless. If you just screw and tape it in Like most people do - it will still look perfect, the images are just the lip resting on the bumper without being "installed"

Thanks for the clarification. I figured as much, but wanted to be sure about the images of the lip. OBTW, I really like that lip!

Unfortunately, I bought painted splitters for half the price of the unpainted lip, because I couldn't wait through the trauma and drama of the unknown look and design and fitment issues, let alone shipping.

Wow, with the lip painted, it would run the same as a Hartge lip, or M3 replica bumper! I could buy a replica Hartge lip from another vendor painted for $450 shipped. I could buy the M3 bumper for roughly the same price!

Any thoughts on a discount for those loyal souls who were with you from the beginning? BMWCCA discounts, maybe?

LOL...LMK and I will sell my splitters for that lip! painted, of course. I want it to look integrated on my ride and would need to match my A22 color scheme.

In return for the right price, I will gladly send you pics of it on my ride! Hahaha...for all to see and admire...hmmmm...you need me to prototype it for you on the East Coast, bro.

+1
I really like this lip though. I'm still trying to convince myself to order it.

Except you're going to be paying way more to get that bumper painted than you will this lip so your logic is flawed.

You'll also see m3 bumpers everywhere. How often will you see this around?

If you do full pictures and such, Im sure I can work something out for you

Lol you wont see it around, we only made 20 units to start, so that is going to be a very rare modification, that you can rub in the faces of the people at the local meets

And no, we will not be making these on a continued basis, it is a limited item that will only be produced for a short while after the initial run for e90post

[SLCGoonski]

If you want to give me a discount back...I'm sure I could take some pics of my install/final look...
