Lip has not been installed, just placed on the bumper for the photos.
I will not put it on until I have 20s as it makes the car lok aggressive but the 18s don't![Frown](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/sad.gif)
Priority now is too save for the 20s and a drop.

It's an OEM part and fits perfectly on top of the stock bumper. It comes with 3M double sided tape to stick it on but when I install it properly I will most likely use some sort of adhesive.
It cost $998, that was including shipping to Cyprus, Europe + it cost me ?110 import tax to get it through customs when it arrived.
So all in it almost cost $1100, for that price I could probably have got the MTech replica from Trinity shipped over (unpainted) but I wanted something that nobody would have here in Cyprus + I haven't seen a member on this forum with it either.
So I am unique![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
My alternatives were the ACS lip, Hamann CF lip for stock bumper or CF splitters from eBay, all of these would have been a maximum of 30% of what I paid but I had my heart set on this lip from the moment I saw it.
It is a discontinued part and it took me quite a while to find someone who had it in stock.

1k is for its exclusivity
...how many people have it?
mtech is all well and good but everyone who wants to upgrade the look gets it
this is something nice and diff
same reason i opted for just a lip add-on myself over the mtech or m5 bumper
:l
but i didnt pay 1k for mine
