http://cgi.ebay.ca/92-97-98-BMW-E36-...item53e561c989 just wondering if any 1 has put one of these on in the past...or something like it...i got a avus blue ti with the non m front bumper. would the lip look better if i had painted to match my cars colour..i had eyelids made from the same material and didnt like the look of them with out paint on it(looked cheap). any info or opinion would be great..i would love to get it to give my front end a more aggressive look to it and for 120$ cdn it seems like a fair price |  |  | | 12-30-2010, 05:09 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
looks pretty good, pretty sure I've seen members with similar lips on their cars. definitely paint it, usually vendors leave parts unpainted just for contrast or so they can re-sell the piece | | | | | 12-30-2010, 05:11 AM | #3 | | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 |

not true. i like it. here's a similar one from modbargains.com: http://www.modbargains.com/E36-M3-Ca...-Front-Lip.htm its a bit more pricy though to even think about getting. but the ebay one looks nice. i would say paint it to match the car. is that for a m-bumper or non-m-bumper? __________________

Edit: Just looked it says that it doesn't fit M3's and only fits stock bumpers __________________

If you are lowered this would not be a good idea, looks huge to me. __________________  | | | | | 12-31-2010, 03:30 AM | #7 | | Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Toronto, Canada Posts: 43 |
thx for the respones..yes its for a non M bumper only. my car is not dropped so i think it would look proper. getting it painted will probably be a hassle for me to get it the same paint colour as my car. i wonder how it would look if i sanded it a bit/primed it/and painted it flat black??..the only body mods i've done to it were changing the back tail lights to red/white...white front corner lights and a blacked out grill..
another question i have is how do i install this thing... i wouldnt want to hold it up with two way tape or silcone it to my existing bumper. maybe screw under neath into the lip its self going into the stock bumper?...then two-way the sides to the bumper ?? | | | | | 12-31-2010, 03:34 AM | #8 | | Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Toronto, Canada Posts: 43 |
and that lip is really expensive probably because its carbon fiber..looks nice tho...might not work with a non m bumper tho | | | | | 12-31-2010, 03:40 AM | #9 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |

I've been pondering about this lip for quite a while. Only way I would mount it on is if it was painted. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt
