I love the look of the aero front lip. I am dropped on H&R Sport and have already scraped the bottom of the oem front. I am careful to drive diagonally over speed bumps and curbs but sometimes you just can't avoid it.

As much as I would love to have it, if I had the aero front lip, it would be scraped even more so and maybe even ripped off...

you dont really need to go diagonally, i have front lip, lowered on h&r sports and on 19s, as long as you go slow over speed humps, you should be fine, unless the humps are extremely high

I went with the CF front lip splitters on my E90. While it was drastically different than the options for the E92, I never liked how 'glued on' it looked. It looked rather cheap IMO.

If anything I would go with the Msport front bumper. Its a fully integrated look, and it still is rather aggressive. Just MHO...

then get them bondo'd if you dont want them to look glued on, which does look cheap

I smashed up my 335 a month ago. I already have the new bumper and waiting for the aero lip to come in. I was considering bondoing it together as one piece and then painting it as one.

However, Im worried about the vibration of the vehicle leading to cracks n such in the bondo as both pieces are plastic.

Any thoughts on this???
