Nah.. dont' do it. That's the LCI ACS lip I believe.
Just get the Mtech front or the Umnitza M5 front man.
Let me know if u ever want to meet up. I can easily help out with advice especially in person. (In other words I'm going to make you spend more money)....

I can't give you a 100% opinion on this lip, bc I've never actually seen it IRL - only on pics. That said, however, it does NOT look good - at least to me - in any of the pics that I've seen. For the money - I understand, there're no replicas available - I'd rather get the Alpina, which I personally like more than the M-tech. Mostly because everyone and their unlce's third cousin's mother's best bingo buddy has an M-tech though...

Start at Alpina.de and go from there. Last I checked, there's only one authorized Alpina re-seller in the States, but I don't remember the name now - maybe someone else will. But if you go on alpina.de and contact them, they'll give you the info. You do realize the Alpina lip is almost a thousand bucks (unpainted, not installed and before shipping), right?
i rather go with OEM M Aero and paint will be less than a thousand
guess my only options will be lumma or OEM M Aero bumper then
