where is the best place to get the aero lip for the E92 and have it installed by someone here is Orange County?

[chrisE92]

If you want an OEM aero lip, order it from tischer. If you want a replica aero lip, check out ******'s. Installation is easy as most members use double-sided tape, so you can do it yourself. Or, you can PM longtran and he'll get you the aero lip, paint it, and install it for you.

I'm not so sure, but I'm guessing it's just possible fitment issues. However, ******'s replicas look pretty much dead-on from what I can see in pictures. You can do a search and check out the threads with reviews.

Dont waste your money on the reps when OEM only costs a bit more.

PM Longtran. He'll get you the aero lip (oem none the less), paint it, and install it for you if need be.

One main difference, that I rarely see anyone ever talk about, is the material. OEM is made of an abs plastic, and replica is polyurethane. When installing it, 3M tape will stick to the abs plastic lip no problem and it adheres to your bumper nice & strong. On polyurethane, unless you sand down the bumper and add an adhesive promoter to the lip, the 3M tape will not stick on the polyurethane well and can/will come right off and not hold to the bumper. I used to produce and work with abs and polyurethane auto body parts for years, so just some things to consider.

go with long tran. bought mine from him then after he got the lip painted, he told me to meet him at his place. He installed it on the spot in less than 5 minutes. Talk about being a pro!
