If only they had it available in abs plastic or fiberglass cuz i'm looking to paint it to match my car..I cant see spending $600+ for CF and then painting over it...

No, I just simply dont like the color contrast of CF lips on my Alpine White front bumper....

I know it's not OEM, but I did see some ACS knock-offs on eBay.

bavarian19 · 03-29-2006, 07:37 PM

Im also in the same boat... I dont like the CF match on monaco blue, so Im waiting for a replica of some sort to come out...

You can get them for $460 plus shipping, but again, I would have to have them primed and painted... too much $$$ IMO...

This is my first post. Here's my painted CF splitters. Picture was taken with the clear tape still on, the Betalink was still in the drying phase.

Pretender · 03-30-2006, 02:42 AM

damn...if I need matching color front lips, I'd go for the Hartge front lip. look better than the OEM.

Jea-

Your car looks awesome! It's so subtle, yet makes a huge difference. I may have to do the same.

I completely agree, but now Im looking at 550 or so for the lips and to have them painted. I would strongly consider replicas if the price came down much more...

jea · 04-02-2006, 09:56 PM

Here are some more pictures of my painted CF splitters. Pretender:I don't like fiberglass that's why I went with oem instead of Hartge.

bavarian19 · 05-01-2006, 07:50 PM

I will be able to post some pics of an installed Monaco Blue painted CF splitter setup soon enough... whenever the packaging tape comes off

macboi · 05-01-2006, 09:25 PM

jea.. your front lip looks spectacular.. !! very simple yet clean..

H.Solo · 05-21-2006, 01:55 AM

@bavarian19: Already got them installed? I'd love to see some pics... (if possible from the side - I want to check, if the car gets any lower)

@jea: I love the look of your car! I really want to install those splitters, but they are so expensive!! How much did you pay for the paintjob, and where was it done?
(My dealer told me, painting Carbon parts is rather tricky and expensive...)

Ask punksterz626
These are installed WITHOUT any mounting hardware or double sided tapes..it was just snapped on for pictures. Once it is installed properly i promise this will fit perfect.

Also, i only have 15 of these babies, not 20.

If anyone is interested in Fiberglass i can also do a GB for these and have them do a "SPECIAL ORDER" on these. You will have to do a deposit on these because these will only be special order.

These are priced in Fiberglass and for both side:
1-10 $210shipped
11-20 $200shipped
20-30 $180shipped

They will come prep and primer so it will be ready to be paint

Your name:

the oem cf is cheap as hell. I got mine free with the car, but hell slight road debris like on the highway like little tiny rocks hitting it, cracks the whole thing. Both of mine are F'ed up.

is fiberglass more/less stronger than CF?

I'd say, fiberglass is less strong than CF...

@Artz 330: How did the debris compromise your splitters? just by cracking the clear paint on it or does it seem, that the fiber itself is damaged?

The splitters should be available in silver plastic later this year (they are in the cataloge, but not yet ready to order.) BMW told me to be patient...
