WTB: Front lip for pre-lci 2005 545i
Looking for a front lip for my 2005 545i. I'd like the M-tech bumper look, but I'm drawing the line at the lip for what I want to spend. Besides, I think the AC-S style lip looks nice (in pics)
Anyone have one that they moved on from? I know some folks try the lip, then move on to a full bumper replacement.
Black would be awesome. (I have a Sapphire/metallic black)
I like the AC-S style bumper, but welcome other manufacturers - as long as the fit is good.
Located in Chicago
Thanks much!

Having said that, if anyone is moving on from a great condition front M5 or M-tech bumper at a great price, I'd consider it! 
Thanks!
Thanks!

I had ran with the AC-S style lip for a few years, up until the beginning of this year when the lip lost vs a coyote. I'm currently stock-lipped, as insurance wouldn't pay for it (and I may sell the car), but I am considering MTech with splitters.

Ouch... sorry to hear that... the front lip pics look good to me! Wonder what all the hate is about... Thanks for the pic, and too bad yours is not in great shape (makes no sense to ship it across country)
