I think the Vorsteiner is ugly actually... What makes it so amazing? because it has Carbon Fiber? its a straight lip across the bottom of the car and takes away any aero-dynamic looks/lines in the front of the vehicle IMO...

m3 lips don't fit the m3 replica bumper.

def doesn't look better than M3 bump, it's the poor/lazy mans M3 bumper but it does look great.. that JL motoring lip looks awesome though, but I think it is because their demo vehicle is lowered

anyone have that lip installed on stock height?

Sure, the ARKYM AeroSport CF Front lip may not be the cheapest, but it sure does look the best! Here are a few more shots for you to check out!

Mtech or M3 bumper or bust. Its too far into the game to roll around with an aero lip. It was ok like a year ago, but nowadays you have to step up.

If you are keeping the oem front bumper the best lip is the aero. Hannmann lip is ugly as fuck.

With Mtech bumper I think the Arkym lip is the best looking.

imo, the Arkym lip takes away the mtechs aggressive look, similar to what the VRS lip does with the already mellow stock bumper. Been waiting for a vendor to make a VRS style m3 lip but for mtechs for a long time.



was on the right track but following up with the poster, it was a no go

I agree with the above..the arkym lip just kills the MTech curves..whats the point of leveling out the bottom?
