Gloss Black Front Lip Recommendations

Anyone have any recommendations for a gloss black front lip? Looking for one that doesn’t require drilling. I know there’s an eBay one that is pretty common on the forum but it’s out of stock.

Also, does anyone have pictures of the lip from Aeroflow Dynamics, NINTE, or AKAMotorsports?

Not a huge fan of the lightweight look, looking for more of an M performance look

Don’t buy from akamotorsports, i took the leap out of chance that maybe it would be solid, but no bueno. It didn’t fit well to the painted portion of the bumper.

Edit: I have lightweight on the way as we speak.

Good to know, by that you mean the gloss black on the lip didn’t match the gloss black on the bumper?

Nah, im super anal, i could totally look past the gap between the three pieces, but i kept trying to shift the piece to actually sit flush on the paint and it just would not. After reaching out to their “customer support” it was a month wait for a response to be told, its within their fitment range.

Another vote for the Lightweight. I had a Lightweight lip on my F82 and I just got one for my G80. I’m sick of shattering lips so I’m team Lightweight… haha!

If you’re set on the M Performance look, here’s another option: https://modeautoconcepts.com/en-us/c...g81-m4-g82-g83

Does it use OEM mounting points? That gap isn’t too concerning to me for the price but I definitely see what you mean

I’m still deciding between the eBay MP style and the Aeroflow Dynamics style below. Both look pretty clean to me, but the Aeroflow one has no visible gaps from what I can tell.

For sure, I love the look. The only thing that sets me off a bit is it looks like it’s not in line with the sides of the front bumper (could just be the angle though).

Think its angle, looks good for me, when looking at fitment on pics

I think you’re right, going to try to find some more cars that have it installed to confirm before ordering it

I’m considering the MHC Black one, going to make a separate post, but I’m curious if anyone has info on the fitment between the MHC black one and the eBay/amazon one.

MHC has a video showing removal of the black pieces on either side of the bumper, so my thinking is this might be a better fit, as I understand the eBay one slides over those pieces.

That vid is for the carbon, they just placed it on the black version install directions. For some reason they don’t add the hole to mount the clip on the ABS versions. The ABS always slips over the factory pieces, and speculation, i’d say they are getting their black MP version from the same place ebay comes from.

Yup the mounting hole is not visible in the pics so it looks like it slips on top of the stock wings.

The only one that I’ve seen so far that doesn’t slip over the stock wings is the Aeroflow Dynamics one. I’m sure there are many others and they’re probably all over eBay but from what I can tell, the Aeroflow fitment looks pretty good. For me it’s just a question of do I want to cover those stock wings with an MP one or not

I would 100% pull the trigger on the aeroflow, its my first time seeing that style for a black splitter. I guess I didn’t search hard enough, but definitely think you should do it. Willing to bet you’ll be happy with it

I actually am a fan of both styles, with the side wings/fins being covered and with them not being seen. But from all angles, it looks like the aeroflow one fits better with the car.
