Carbon Fiber Front Lip

e90fanatic · 05-09-2005, 11:08 PM

Does anybody have a real-life picture of these? It's $600+ accessories, and not sure if it's actually good looking

e90fanatic · 05-09-2005, 11:48 PM

Thanks, I guess it looks great on bright colors not on darker colors.

EVO_S4 · 05-10-2005, 12:27 AM

I think it looks good period. I get some pics of it on my Jet black when it arrive in Mid June

LOLrance · 05-10-2005, 02:10 AM

I actually think the opposite... it blends in better with dark colors but stands out too much on bright colors. If I got this for a bright colored car, I'd probably paint them to match the body... but then again, you'd be wasting the premium you're paying for the carbon fiber weave look.

600 bucks for 2-stick ons--Damn

I know right!

Anything that's carbon fiber automatically becomes ridiculously expensive. When I get my car, I'm going to wait for aftermarket options.

e90fanatic · 05-11-2005, 12:13 AM

that's what i meant. of course carbon fiber looks good on anything (well almost) but for 600 bucks on a dark color that won't make it stand out...not really quite worth it

marcus330i · 05-11-2005, 12:18 AM

What happens to carbon fiber when you hit one of those parking space concrete thingies?

RedStripe · 05-11-2005, 12:48 AM

The carbon fiber scratches and dents up, then you eyes will tear up

. Sad, but expensively true.

marcus330i · 05-11-2005, 01:14 AM

Oh. That's not hot.

Ah, but the plastic bumper can probably take much more impact before getting damaged than a CF splitter. Also, a new bumper probably costs less than $600!

DEbmw · 12-13-2005, 10:14 AM

I recently purchased these CF Front Lips from pacificbmw and decided that they would not look good on my titanium silver 330i. If anyone is interested, I will sell them for $460 and comp the shipping charges in the U.S. They are un-used and still in the boxes they came in.

Email me at drewpfarr@gmail.com with any additional questions. Thanks.

cdheaven · 12-13-2005, 12:53 PM

if i dont get them for xmas, i might be buying them from you...
I FINALLY saw these in real life, on sparkling garphite, and they look 100 times nicer then any picture i have seen.

Speedy E90 · 12-13-2005, 01:29 PM

I have the carbon fiber lip on sparkling graphite. It looks great!!!

Speedy E90 · 12-13-2005, 01:39 PM

Here is a pic....the lighting is not that good....Ill try to take another one soon....it looks even better in person!!

P.S. The blue tape is still form the installation...I took it off a couple of days later.....

ase2dais · 12-13-2005, 02:22 PM

Carbon Fiber on SG definitely looks much sharper than the rest I think, thks for the post.
Question, How hard was the install? Was it just glue in?
Looks Good! I heard $450/pair was the lowest Ive seen,
Did you beat that?
thks again!

Speedy E90 · 12-13-2005, 02:37 PM

Well I got mine installed for free by the dealership, so it did not cost me anything they paid for parts and labor. They did this bc they messed up big time on the delivery shedule and my family members are valued costumers.
