Aero lip vs. Hamann style lip on Alpine White E92

AddictedToBavarian · 05-18-2013, 05:35 PM

I'm looking to make the front of my E92 a bit more agressive. I've got the painfully boring pre-LCI non sport front bumper.

I'm thinking aero lip or the Hamann style front carbon fiber lip from Mod Bargains (can't copy link here).

I know you can't go wrong with the aero lip, but I also like a black lip on AW. I'm just afraid the lip looks dumb on the non agressive stock bumper. What do you guys think?

I think the aero lip looks better than Hamann.

I agree that a lip will look out of place on a non aggressive stock bumper.

As someone mentioned earlier, what is your budget?
This will dictate what we can suggest to you.

As of now I feel if you're dead set on a lip, then at least get an mtech bumper. You'll have plenty of options for then.

get the aero lip and add the hamann under it.

AndyR83 · 05-19-2013, 07:18 PM

I really like this one.

Prissy · 05-19-2013, 10:22 PM

aero for sure.

If you want Hamann lip, get msport.

I'm a fan of the Aero. Got it on Ebay and the fitment was 97%. Took it to a good paint shop for a good paint match. All in I think it was around $280 or so.

BaysonR lip $89(shipped)
Paint $160 (including orange bumper reflector painted)
Total $250 installed.

Thanks everyone for the pics and opinion, I'll go with the aero lip. The pics of these cars look awesome guys thanks for taking out the time to post them up.

Any problem with the fitment? If so, what? Thanks.

^^ there is a small gap at the top of the lip by the grill area but can adjusted with stronger tape. Its nit primered when shipped so there are minor imperfections. Make sure the body shop primer it first before paint. Fitment is about 9/10 overall.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I've only ever seen this one on ebay. I have no idea what the full scoop is on it. It looks really cool though, and he has a ton of positive feedback on ebay praising the fit. If you search for "e92 carbon lip" it's one of the first results. I think it ends up being about $400 shipped if I recall correctly, and you specify which color you want it (factory colors.)
