Agreed lol.. ok i think i like this Auto Couture one better. Reason being that i have some slight imperfections on the bottom of the bumper that id like to cover up and this would do it perfectly.

Is the Cwest lip flat on the bottom you could attach a splitter on to for protection? I know the guys running the carbon GT lips on M cars have attachments that stick out about a quarter inch that take road debris impact without shattering the carbon.

They are replica wedssport tc105n. Not as light weight as the original wheels but about as light as RFP1's

I also added the front lip from Ebay and love the look. Simple, subtle and sturdy.

That was the first thing I did when I bought my F.

BaysonR lip and then a Wald spoiler. I should be getting my diffuser this week!

I just picked up a BaysonR lip. The quality is fantastic at any price point.

I'm all for quality components when doing a proper build. When it comes to wheels, suspension, performance parts etc. I spare no expense and cut no corners. But when it comes to certain body cosmetic piece's especially ones that are 2 inches off the ground on a lowered car and at risk every time I enter a inclined driveway or entryway I'll go knock-off every time if the fitment and quality is there. The Ebay lip was a no brainer for me.

I got the ebay PU lip. it was cheap and it is PU, so I don't have to worry about cracking. Like you said it's subtle but still adds a more aggressive look. The fit was spot on.

It took me about 10 minutes. You re-use the two bolts that hold the bumper near the fender and the rest is a set of supplied self tapping screws. I just drove it on my ramps and it was a breeze, just make sure you attach the outside bumper bolts first, it helps center the part and holds it on (it is flexible so it will sag until you attach it). It is raw plastic so, if you want a more consistent finish you can paint it, otherwise it is about the same color as a unpainted bumper. I would take pictures but my F is at the dealer with a blown transmission
