great looking. is it stock height or lowered?

 

[toosteeley]

Lowering it is one of the first things I did 😉

 

[Mz3boy]

are you happy with the result? which kit did you use? did it change the range?

 

[toosteeley]

Of course I’m happy with the results 😉 Looks 100% better IMO. It’s the Eibach kit.

Lowering shouldn’t have any impact on range.

 

[Mz3boy]

lowering it could make it more or less aerodynamic

 

[toosteeley]

Not to any noticeable amount when driving on public roads.

(Is waiting for details on your new front bumper lip as seen in the LCI grille chat…)

 

[toosteeley]

Good eye 😉

Yes, I installed a new front lip spoiler. It’s just an inexpensive AE one for now to see if I like the look.

Is that a 3 piece?

 

[toosteeley]

Is that a 3 piece?

Correct. 3 piece.

 

[Bimmerscrub]

Correct. 3 piece.

How did you secure the middle bumper section of the lip? Just screws or 3M also? I’m having issues with me replacement. The middle section flops but the sides are ok at highway speeds

 

[toosteeley]

All 3 sections use stock mounting bolts and 3M tape. Good and solid.

Factory mounting sites right? Maybe my lip isn’t actually compatible. Guess I’ll have to improvise or buy another.

Yours looks great.

 

[ghostrunner]

Liking this look a lot! The proportions bring everything together.

 

[toosteeley]

Thanks! 😊

Yours looks great.

Correct. It uses factory mounting sites (bolts get reused).

Is yours the same style? It's possible you have one for the G22 if so, which uses different mounting points. I believe a few people have successfully used G22 front lips but needed to do some modifications to get them to bolt up.

 

[Bimmerscrub]

There are holes where there’s no mount. So that may be the case. I think they even used a forum members car in the pictures. I’ll have to improvise.

Thanks

Can you post a link to the lip spoiler you have? I'm curious...

 

[11LMBiSTT]

Can you post a link of the exact one you bought, please? Did you get the real carbon or carbon look? TIA

Good eye 😉
