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

Priority now is too save for the 20s and a drop.

 

You should paint it...

 

No chance, it goes with the CF grilles, eyebrows and hood badge.

Plus future mods include CF ACS trunk and roof spoilers + Mtech Rear with CF diffuser and I will be getting black 20s.

 

Very nice, Does it go on top of the stock bumper? How much was it?

 

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

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.

 

i agree

but then i may be alone on this when i say

i find carbon fiber to be a bit tacky

:l

in either case the lip itself is nice, aside from the finish

 

IMHO
Not worth it, I would do an OEM Mtech and then a lip to get a far better look for the amount spent

 

looks cool. i agree painted to match ur car would make it look like the entire bumper was changed. 1000 bux is crazy loot for sucha small peice. but its cool

 

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

 

I am a bit of a CF whore in future if it gets scratched up I'll most likely have to paint it anyway but I am gonna try my hardest not to let it get damaged.

There are too many ppl with the MTech kit and the OEM MTech is more than 1K, however I will get the rep sides and rear from Trinity after I get 20s.

I agree with that painting it would make it look like a 1 piece bumper, similar to E92 Msport bumper I think??? Also agree it was a lot of money but you pay for what you get and the quality is amazing and I love it

That was my thinking, what lip do you have?
