m5 lip spoiler

[asianwitattitude]

hey yea i talked to the guy i actually recieved my m5 spoiler. it is pretty good quality, and the adhesive is extremely strong. paint costed me $50 at a local body shop. so the spoiler is $53 shipped in US. so who ever wants in on the deal, let me know now. because these spoilers can go on acura cl's and other cars as well. so i was just seeing if i could get some deals for you guys.

[writeb]

No extreme offense chief, but notifying BMW drivers (albeit compact BMW drivers), that an accessory fits a Honda isn't exactly going to make us very enthused about it. How about some pics??

[asianwitattitude]

none taken. its not that it fits a honda, its just that you can take the OEM m5 lip spoiler and put it on a car that has the same trunk length as an m5, i.e. acura cl, 318ti. and i actually have mine unpainted so i i guess i will take a pic. give me one day until i can get my camera.

[schussey]

yea the honda fact did throw me off a bit...i will need to see some pics first

[asianwitattitude]

ok i am going to say this one time. and one last time only. i have a hook up for an m5 lip spoiler. replica of oem but it is still polyurethane. you can take ANY m5lip spoiler and put it on ANY car. same as if you took a 318ti spoiler and put it on another car, the only variable is that it has to fit the length of the trunk and maybe bend to fit the trunk. now let me tell you the length of the 318ti trunk is not UNIQUE, other cars have the same length trunk as us, i.e. acura cl type s, 2001 bmw m5, and any other car with the same length trunk. let me make this clear that we are taking an m5 lip spoiler and putting it on to a 318ti. yea we're still bimmers but not much compared to an m5. so if you want to complain that our trunk size is the same length as "some honda" and that compells you to think that we are somewhat of a ricer, you need to go back to the top of this post, and read it again slowly and carefully. just because it fits on a honda also, doesnt make the spoiler worse, it just happens to be coincidence that a honda took a german spoiler and put it on his trunk and said, "hey that kinda fits"

[writeb]

Good. I'm glad it's the last time you're going to say it. Quite frankly I don't care if you commit seppuku with the cheap POS spoiler; more power to you. I'm honestly annoyed that you mentioned a ricer and BMW in the same sentence, 5 posts ago. (yeah I said it... *ricer*). Plus the fact that your all so altruistic offer for us is probably netting you a cut of the deal.. So don't come at us all sideways like you don't have anything to gain and you're doing us all a favor. The deal is still good for the price, so let that speak for itself. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, tongue in cheek I gave you a hard time, and offered a solid suggestion on posting a pic. That advice still stands. Otherwise I have no desire to start a flame fest although they're extremely enjoyable to me. (shouldnt you be getting your headlights aimed/replaced so you can see at night, rather than worrying about a spoiler right now anyways??)

PS, regarding integrity, an earlier post by you indicated $50 dollars for paint. That implied (at least to me), that you had it painted and installed onto your car ("strong adhesive"), yet you now say that you dont even have it painted. slightly shady, my friend..

I believe this is the rear spoiler that came on my car:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2467379929

It's $169 painted, specific to the ti, including wiper cutout. Looks just like the M-tech from the factory. Pretty damn cheap for a painted spoiler. I'm not sure if this is what I have exactly because the previous owner installed it but he did say it came from a guy from Florida on Ebay and the description suits it to a "T".

Thx Dr. Phil,
I've been eyeballing that deal for about two months now. You're pretty happy with the spoiler and how it's painted?

[Phil Marx]

The paint quality is excellent and my ti is Titan silver, a color not even listed on their charts (late '98-). The material is good quality and the fit is good. The prevous owner said it was a bitch to install but I can't comment on that. I'm not sure what's involved but it doesn't seem to have any glue holding it on, and nothing screwed in in the middle, either, just at the edges and there are access holes in the edge of the decklid that must have required some heavy drilling. Lack of center attachment may just be the owner's method or he gave up trying. It's on tight but not in the middle so water can flow underneath. Someday I'll take it off and see what's what. Hopefully not a swiss-cheese deck lid! For now, it's there, it looks good, and I think it adds a lot to the car.

first of all, i hate how you assume that you know everything. for you assume it is a cheap "POS" spoiler. and honestly speaking, if you are annoyed with the fact that i put ricer and bmw in the same sentence you have issues my friend. yes issues, go see a therapist because a 318ti is the LOWEST class bmw out there. or am i the first to admit it. yes its a cool car yea its STILL a bmw but it is the lowest model you can buy. and again you assume that this is putting a cut in for me? i laugh. yes because the spoiler actually costs $52 shipped and i want $1 from each of you(extremley sarcastic tone beyond belief). quite FRANKLY "honestly speaking" i could care less if any body from here bought it. i was trying to help out a friend that gave me a pretty good deal on a good spoiler. and at the same time, i've posted here and had A LOT of questions answered very nicely done by steven and the other members of this forum. like i have anything to gain? i am extremely insulted to the point where i'll just quit this forum just so i never have to be in contact with you. you are an EXTREMELY rude person, all you are doing is critisizing me. and my headlights are adjusted just fine, but i didnt feel a need to let everyone in the forum knows that. as one member explained, polish headlights as i did and it helped very much. so please mind your business, if you dont like the fact that i can put ricer in the same sentence as bmw 318ti then dont look at this thread. and its not that i dont like my car, its just that i am always around my other friends with porsches, new bmws, mercedes, etc. that i dont take full pride in my car because up against them, my car is uglier, slower, and less reliable. so you can take that pride of yours and put it where ever you want but not at me. i dont take bs from some old man behind a computer monitor thinking he can mouth off to anyone on the internet because they cant do anything about it. well i'll let your "flame fest" slide this time. and i will forgive you for your conceited attitude and extremely rude behavior towards me when i am trying to do everyone a favor. and it was indicated at $50 because my best friend, who happens to own the acura 3.2cl type-s which i might add is a very nice car, actually gave me his hook up for this spoiler and you can thank a ricer for this deal or you can leave it. like i said, completely up to you guys i am not here to make money, i make my own just fine because i am still a teen and making about $800 every 2week paycheck while being a full time student taking 14units. so i would just like to state, for the record, that you are a complete idiot for taking this the wrong way, i am actually so insulted that i will not be doing the m5 lip spoiler anymore since it is too "ricey" and too "shady". sorry for the members that may have been interested but i dont take bs for trying to do favors. and i dont appreciate you calling my BEST FRIEND's car a RICER when you havent even seen the car yet, i want to let you know its completely BONE STOCK, 2001 acura cl 3.2 type-s and it will smoke you and smoke me no matter how much pride you have in your car. you make assumptions after assumptions which are all so wrong in so many ways that you remind me of something i saw in the dictionary..uhm i think it was called, dickhead? yea thats it. so keep your mouth shut and open your eyes, cuz youre not the all knowing writeb, nope youre just standard, base model writeb.


P.S. writeb, dont be a bitch in life, cuz it always comes back to the bitches. and do not ever call me your friend. cuz i am far from that.

[Dem1K]

eh, this is AWA's best friend...I got the Acura CL Type-S...writeb, I got some **** to tell you. One, this car isn't no god damn ricer, it's far from it. Now I'm not here to diss on your guys' ride, because I happen to like the 318ti, as my best friend has one. However, he's right, it is the low-end BMW. You mention that my car is a ricer, yet when I hear the term ricer, I think of a "modified" car (i.e. civic, escort, corolla, what the **** ever..) that has stickers all over it, an over-sized obnoxious exhaust that serves no purpose, a large wing, ridiculously heavy rims, lowered on springs bouncin around all retarded, etc... My car brand new goes for $32g'z, and this car is, I must add, #### nice. On that note, shut your fu**in mouth and think about what you're sayin first. You come across as a rude, arrogant ****, who has no idea wtf he's talking about...

As for the spoiler, it is NOT, and I repeat, NOT "made" for the Acura. I found this hook-up on the e46 forums, and by NO MEANS are I or AWA trying to get any profit off of this. I happened to mention to my best friend that I got this spoiler for a great price and had him pass along the word to you guys in case you wanted one, BECAUSE WE'RE BEING ##### NICE!! Take that into consideration, ass hole. Now, the spoiler is made SPECIFICALLY for bimmers. The M5 spoiler fits the best on teh 318ti rather than the M3 spoiler. I believe it is 47" in lengh, whereas the m3 lip spoiler is 46". I really don't see how you can say that since it fits on a Acura, that its a POS. And I find it hilarious how you got offended by having the word RICER.....oh **** everybody run....and BMW in the same sentence. That show's how god damn CHILDISH you really are. Before I conclude this, I will repeat one more time: neither AWA or I are getting ANY profit off of this. We are merely just trying to help people out. I will post a pic of what the M5 spoiler looks like on my car and you can get an idea.









So, if you guys are interested, just shoot either me or my best friend a PM and I'll see whassup, aight?

Oh Joy, this is going to be fun!!!!

(Soapbox alert)

First of all, Mr. Tough guy student. You were 16 last year, so I'm going to take it easy on you, because you honestly don't know better. You are on the wrong forum if you think you can freely speak of mixing parts without getting a hard time. Period. There is a timeline in the whole lifecycle of a fine automobile like the 318ti, that you have to draw a line in the sand, from all of those wanna be BMW owners that are accustomed to cheaper cars, and can now afford it, (ie you can take the kid out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the kid) (Hint, this is YOU AWA), Versus those of us that bought the car new or close because WE WANTED TO. Not because it's a less expensive BMW. Hell, '00 5 series are going for 26k these days.. There will be a point where us TRUE BMW ENTHUSIASTS will just have to throw up our hands and let you types take over. Sooner or later, ti's will be available easy sub 5k, and that will open the floodgates open to whatever yobo decides to jump on the BANDWAGON thinking the 318ti is the "lowest class" BMW, when really, THEY are the lowest class BMW owners! (were you able to get that sebring muffler installed yet???)

Not that it matters, but I am a 5th generation BMW person, my parents went through 4 BMW's over 20 years and now roll a 740il, one bigger than the next, starting with a 3 series. I started with a ti, and outside of an occasional straying eye towards an Audi, VW, Infinity FX (yes a Nissan!!), plan to do the same. I've witnessed stops on the dime, avoidance of accidents, nimble accelleration, life saving handling, and the respect afforded by other drivers on the road, when they see that BMW badge. I'm a believer and fan for life.

There's always hope that someone with your immaturity & mentality, ("that the bmw is the least of the bunch" (which will get you a fat lip in person talking such blasphemy) since it costs the least of all current bmw's), will eventually see the car for what it is, and actually cherish the car. It's obvious by your statements that you obviously do not know the cars worth. Most likely the antics of someone that A) has had mommy and daddy assist with the aquisition of the car and B) has had no true sense of ownership and responsibility of the automobile. C) doesn't know how to push the automobile to it's proper limits and most significantly D) has abused the car enough to the point of it not being his "baby" anymore.

I actually tried to help your non driving dumb self, by offering suggestions on your headlights. (but since you apparently cant drive worth a **** anyways (pulling out smack dab into on coming traffic--LOLOLOL) I won't have to worry about you being a part of this community for long anyways, since you won't have your ti operational and in one piece for very much longer). By the way, when you got hit, and you said your radio popped out of the dash... that is some FUNNY Stuff!!! ......Still laughing!!!!!...Sigh.....

I wanted to make it clear, since you nor your friend can pay attention very well to my previous statements, that you said "ricer" first. Honda does make Acuras'. I just ran with it, since you threw it out there.

To your friend that obviously takes great pride in his car (Acura); I'm not mad at you. My actual apologies if I offended you extremely. But you don't know me either, so don't jump into battle disrespecting me when I haven't addressed you personally. If you're not a BMW owner, you just wouldnt understand. I don't expect a lot of the old timers on this board to directly vouch for me, because they want to keep the peace, but I'm positive I'm not alone in my sentiments expressed about the BMW in my first 3 paragraphs. You obviously take care of your car, and at this point I respect you far more than your fake frankenstein mobile driving friend, who *STILL* has yet to post a pic of his so called fine automobile (still waiting for those dents to get pulled out I guess). I have no quarrel with you at this point. But you're going to find few friends on a BMW site. And as you indicated your perusal of the e46 forum, I seriously doubt you nor anybody would be touting how this lip spoiler ALSO fits the Acura CL on that forum..... Tell me if I'm wrong. So why here?--That's part of my point. I'm really impressed that you went through the trouble to register on this forum, just to vouch for your buddy. (that is... if you really *do* exist). And for the record, I've seen plenty of "riced out" Acuras in my day, as well as classy Hondas. Your stop is here, step off.

Back to my friend. You still did not clarify your shady statements about whether or not you lied about having it prepped and painted, and implied fitted, as you were vouching on it's quality and appearance and adhesive. So let me think... we can send our money to an immature, impatient 17 year old, who is unclear or misleads with his statements, demonstrates minimal personal responsibiliy or respect for his automobile.... Is what it boils down to. (benefits to being "old", we can stay on topic.), Or we can choose not to. Who's to say??

So call it pride, arrogance, or whatever. I drive a BMW, and I take extreme pride in my car. Would I like 6 cylinders in it?? Perhaps, but the natural fact is, I"m extremely happy with the car, which you clearly aren't. (with your porsche, acura, blah blah envy you've prior spoken of). So do yourself a favor, if you are unhappy with the car, sell it and get something else, buy and join a subaru or ford forum and see if you dont get cussed the hell out on the same premises. I'd be willing to bet you within 12 years, we'll be seeing some AWA avatar on an M3 forum somewhere.. Maybe by then you'd have learned the respect of the roundel. I don't have a problem with you being a spoiled, overprivledged, mouthy young punk with a potty mouth. But know your limitations. I *guarantee* you wouldn't call me out of my name in person. And if you can't deal with a little bit of criticism, don't let the door hit you on your ass on your way out, whiner. LIFE's a bitch, not just the people in it. There's plenty of room for us both on this site, you've seldom had anything valuable to contribute anyways.

If this needs to get further uncivil, I invite you to private message me or send an email, as I enjoy airing dirty laundry and promise to further embarrass you otherwise. (And I dont want Steven to have to censure or censor me for putting the smack down repeatedly, because this does get old....fast.)

Not that I'd ever want to fuel this fire, because I already have three children of my own at home and don't need virtual sibling rivalry when I get all I need real-time, but...

Here's another link to a spoiler that seems fit exactly the specifications and model applicability as that being hawked here by AWA and friend:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33638

Please note this is a buy-it-now item in apparently unlimited supply and comes with a 3M adhesive strip, unpainted, for $39.95 plus shipping. These guys take PayPal and any major credit card.

Just thought you might want to know.

asianwitattitude- I'm sorry, but I am not interested. It looks good, but I just bought something else with my money......you and Dem1k flaming at writeb kinda killed me urge to buy.....sorry again
