Yeah, thumbs up for Z.
Originally wanted to wrap the entire grill. I was told by the shop it couldn't be done only when I collected my car....

Anyway, glad that most of the bros like the lip. Just to share, it took only 10 days from placing order to installation, including paint work.

Your grills are now very unique, just leave the strips as they are.

3DDesign's stuffs are good looking and simple. Much better than other vendors which are too complicated IMO.

Lip is around 10k painted and installed. Z is zillion performance. Just search their facebook page.

Go for it Jacky.

Congrats RC3 and cwong


Both 3D front are stunning, wondering which one of you is lower, assuming if both of your suspension in same height? OE 3D lip or M-tech 3D lip?

Thanks IC.

Don't know, have to measure to find out. Mine decreases 15mm ground clearance. Seems like the SE lip protrudes more than my M-tech lip. Hard to tell.

FYI. the M-tech front bumper protrudes more than the SE front bumper, which means the M-tech car is slightly longer. Just minimal. I found out when I compared my car with Jxnco's car the other day.

15mm for mine too, according to 3d Design.

Cool, let me know how your set up works on ramps. I mean the lip and KWV3 with half finger gap.

Who knows? I may join your guys in the future.

BTW, really wonder why mlai said he scratched big time with the 3D SE lip. His v1.0 F10 wasn't even lowered. He must have driven really aggressively on ramps and speed bumps.

I wonder if KW's hydraulic lift system KW HLS is compatible with the KWV3 for the F10.

I guess my car is not as low as IC's. Mine is almost 1 finger in the front.

Anyway, was in Times Square, HKCEC and Megabox, no problem. Also ok in my home car park which I used to have problem if I drove fast with the Eibach.

I see. 535 must be heavier than 528 so 535 drops more, assuming both of you have out of the box setting for height.

Excellent to learn that you have no scratching problem. I rest my case on Eibach, definitely not good for the F10.

The eibach are softer by alot .. is this the reason? so when corner hard and up and down it goes like OE, but it starts lower, so it scrape .. ?

Eibach 550 springs for Grimlock's 528 definitely FTW. Absolutely no doubt.
