Performance Spoiler or M3 Lip?

I've always felt that the OEM E92 trunks don't look completely finished. I'm considering getting either an OEM performance spoiler or an M3 Lip. Which do you prefer on the E92?

*Not my pictures. Two beautiful cars though

Thats what I was thinking. The best prices I found online for replicas was, $89 painted for the performance spoiler and $59 for the M3 lip.

I have that exact spoiler on my car; it looks amazing--period. I've seen an M3 with it as well, and it knocks that barely-visible lip out of the sky. The perf. spoiler looks very clean and contains the attributes of the car's aesthetic design very well. You will not regret it.

Got it right off this site here. Amazing quality and flawless fitment. Best CF product I've had, ever:

M3 is classy and subtle. Performance spoiler looks overdone. Personally, for me, when it comes to trunk spoilers, less is more.

I agree. That CF Performance spoiler looks really great but since I have no CF accents on my car I'd go with the painted one.

Starting at post 26 is my CF Performance Rep Spoiler I bought. Very happy with it. Need to take some better pictures still once I mount it permanently. I ended up contacting the seller because it didn't kick up as high as the pictures he had shown, so I ended up getting a 50 dollar refund, bringing the total to 100 shipped. Your can see it still sits kind of flat, but if you are torn between the Performance and M3, it is literally the perfect middle ground.

Carbon Fiber looks really good on a black car regardless, because it just looks gloss till you get up close anyway. Get yourself a CF Diffuser like I just did, and it will set your rear end off nice!

I've always had a soft spot for the E90 Alpina type spoiler ...

+1 Here. I don't understand why people like the CSL trunks. Looks like the rear end took a giant kick

I have the Aero kit on mine...so I actually prefer the smaller one. Either would do you good though.

Performance only looks good on a e92. M3 looks good on both so if you have a sedan id say m3.
