Thinking about taking it off, wanted to see how much it would fetch:
Approx. 6 months old Hamann-style (replica) lip for a pre-LCI (in U.S. MY's 2004-2007) non-M front bumper.

Description:
Construction is fiberglass core with two layers of carbon fibre on the exterior. The lip is hollow and very light weight.
Very durable and light-weight solution for a non-M/non m-tech pre-LCI car.
The finish has a great shine to it, especially if you take a couple of minutes to wipe it down with some MF cloth and put a light coat of carnuba wax on it. Looks great with CF/black kidneys - pics don't really do it justice.
Fitment:
Fitment is ok, but not first-class - minor issues though. When I was getting it installed, I had to look for a shop that could resolve the fitment issues adequately at a good price - which I found. Because of that, if you live in the NYC area and want to have the lip installed immediately, we can split the cost of removing it/re-installing on your car, which (I'm sure) will be a lot less than if I was to take it off at one place, give/ship it and you'd install it somewhere else. In other words, I do not anticipate any fitment issues with local buyers, but am willing to ship - as long as you understand that then fitment will be, well, your problem.
Condition:
The lip is in good condition. There are a couple of scuffs on the CF on the edges, which can be relatively easily repaired with a kit from carbonmods.com (would have to color match a bit, but it is so small, that even if its not color-matched, no one would ever be able to see it - plus the scuffs are practically on the underside of the lip, so they're not that visible in the first place.
The lip is paintable, so if you'd rather paint it, it will not be an issue at all.
Here're a couple of pics of it on my car:
Other cars (some orig. Hamann, some reps - this is just to show the design) to see what it looks like painted to match the car:

So what do you think? $250 local, $300 shipped within the "lower 48"? Cost me about 450 shipped and installed + whatever it will be to dismount it...

Damn, I've been looking at getting one of these. I just haven't been able to bite the bullet and buy one, can't bring myself to spending that much for a lip. GL with sale.
