I'll be the Guinea Pig: Ebay Skirt Extensions/M5 Rep Bumper Lip...

Was cruising around fleabay and saw these skirt extensions which I thought to myself "What the hell, I'll give it a shot". I contacted the seller who said that the pics are legit and these are the actual product on a car... looks good to me... trigger pulled..

link for those interested:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/191509560494...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I have been going crazy trying to find a lip for my m5 replica front bumper. There was the Kelleners but the time to ship is approximately 4-8 months and Bavarian Autosport has dropped the Kelleners Aerodynamics brand...

There's the Hamann but I am not paying anything over 1k for something that is going to get beat up underneath my front bumper. I was cruising ebay again and noted the Vollkommen lip for the M5. I looked at the pics and sure enough, its actually a standard 5 series with a M5 replica bumper on it.

There was a member here that had one for sale a while ago but said that it needed slight modification to get onto a replica bumper... So I am going to pull the trigger on that as well as soon as I do a little more research..

All in all if everything works out, I should have a lip and skirt extensions at a fraction of the cost. Of course full pics will be posted IF successful!

*crossing fingers*

Good luck! I've always wanted side skirt extensions but I dont know if they make any of the GT, maybe i'll have to measure and see if the F10's side skirt extensions would fit a GT.

Yo BlackGT, I think these are universal ones that just happen to be the same length as the f10. You can probably score a set and cut it down to fit your needs!

Those skirts have been purchased from a member here from the same eBay seller and He liked them. I'll find his post.

Thanks bro. I think the GT is a tad longer than a normal F10, can someone do me a favor and measure the length of their side skirts? Then I can compare it to mine. Thanks gentlemen

Yes, it seems that these are screwed on. Mine came slightly warped due to it being just a long piece of polyurethane. I placed a old desktop computer on the warped parts for a day or so and viola.. everything is all straight again!

As far as the lip goes, I have decided to not take such a massive gamble on the lip. I have decided to go with //M5 splitters instead 280 bucks shipped from China vs 584 bucks shipped+tax in CA=632 bucks. So if the splitters do not fit then I am pretty sure this lip may not fit.. The splitters, IMO, look pretty damn good too... and less risk financially!

Good choice! My spoiler I ordered on eBay coming from China did not fit well. So I'll be sure to try and order from.somebody here in the USA. Tho it probably comes from China anyways LOL! . I did read somewhere that stuff from Taiwan is better than China?
Post some pictures when u get them on. What kind of screws are u gonna use?

The screws came with the lip. Self tapping and black. They are pretty short too. I won't have an extra body to help me put this thing on for a few days. I plan to just install everything when the splitters come.

I have read on ebay description of items that stuff in Taiwan is better... something along the lines of "Not cheap stuff from China but quality from Taiwan!" Don't know if that's a contradictory statement or not....
