Please note that the splitter is about 1-2 inches away from the bottom of the bumper itself... the things I propped it up with wasn't high enough.

Been in the middle of a bathroom remodel so I have very limited time for the car as of right now. I haven't even washed her for the past month...

Have you fitted it yet?

Sorry guys, I am working 10 days straight starting this past Saturday. I should have everything done by next week. The front splitter, the skirt extensions, and my M5 front/650i rear sways installed by next week. Had to put my bathroom remodel on hold as well...

I'll detail her as well and get a full on photoshoot going at a remote location

With my Note 4!

Thanks for the patience guys... It will be extremely difficult installing this stuff on my own and the time itself is not on my side....

Sweet! Definitely post them pictures!

sanyomats · 07-14-2015, 07:38 AM

sounds good!!!

Simple5 · 07-23-2015, 09:58 PM

Fitted the skirt extensions and modded them the way I wanted. I had to trim it down 1/4 of an inch and cut away the jack pad for the front... with these mods they fit exactly to my liking.. skirt extensions at the fraction of the cost.

Did not get to fit the front lip on. I have to remove the front bumper to get it to fit properly and to secure it properly. Afraid that will have to wait until next week..

Pics for now...

Looks good but can u get some more different angle shots? I like these as a budget skirt until spending bank on the slek's or modb*****'s

Do u get to decide how far out they stick past the side skirt?

Simple5 · 07-24-2015, 02:41 AM

After cutting out the portion for the jack point, yes, I was able to decide how much I wanted it to show. I'll take more pics tomorrow. I'm going to give her a full detail.

The way it fits to the rear is just right however the front stuck out too much for my liking. I made a cut for the jack point and was able to do a custom fit of exactly where I wanted it. These are awesome and PU material is very forgiving.

Best 1.2 C-notes I ever spent.

lsturbointeg · 07-24-2015, 03:15 AM

Get a top view So I can see how far it sticks out

has anyone tried to see if this front lip works on the f10 m-tech front bumper??? and the side skirts please post pics once completed and do you have to make your own drilled holes for the screws?

It's a universal front splitter So it should work on any bumper as long as it's flat. Thinking about adding this to my carbon fiber 3d style front lip when I do this

lsturbointeg where can we buy this splitter

Sorry dude. I'll take you more detailed pics asap. This was my b-day weekend and it has been a total haze!

I'm hoping to get the front splitter/lip on tue or wed of this coming week since my bro in law will be home to give me a hand. The bumper will have to come off to use the nuts and bolts provided. I am worried about the middle part of the front bumper though as it is slightly rounded. but I'll see how it looks when it is on...

As in regards to the skirt extensions, self tapping screws were provided and were more than enough to secure the skirt extensions on..

I believe these are exactly the same. Start your buying!

lsturbointeg · 07-30-2015, 10:02 PM

Damn! They are the same. I'll play it by ear since I'm considering getting the carbon fiber extensions.

Simple5 · 08-24-2015, 04:01 AM

So I bought that front lip spoiler and realized that there is a about a 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch that I had to overcome so it would not hit that slight hump at the bottom of the front bumper and with the spoiler being flexible it would look kind of bad if it wasn't flat..

I bought these universal splitters and will use these to mount to the front bumper first and THEN mount the spoiler... it should work out and if so it could be that $150 front lip option for the m5 replica bumper guys! Have to be a little inventive since no vendor/company is stepping up to make a lip for this bumper.. So the total tab is 89.99 for the PU front spoiler and 49.99 for the PU splitters/canards... so around $150 bucks total (taxed here in CA)...

Pics of my idea...

lsturbointeg · 08-25-2015, 01:34 AM

Can u do a dry fit to see what it would look like? I kinda got an idea of what ur trying to accomplish! Also post a link of where u bought the canards! So the splitter is completely flat but when u line it up it still hits the M5 parts that's hanging down?
