I get CF hood, roof, spoiler, trunk, but I never understood why you'd want all that expensive CF optioned as a splitter, side skirts or diffuser. That's going to get destroyed if you are daily driving a car.

Someone needs to honeycomb that stupid grill ASAP. I'm surprised that hasn't been the first aftermarket mod for this car.

The M Perf Lip does just that BUT it isn't aggressive enough in how far it comes out.

Same 4 people on every thread saying the car is ugly (or in this case fugly), same dozen or so people liking the comment.

I will presumably be making this same exact comment in 2023 when the LCI is revealed.

That lip looks like it was forced on, doesn't look like it was meant for the car. For a lip to work on this car it has to incorporate or replace those side pieces IMO.

Precisely. It's hard to justify $2500 because of that. If it's the only option I'll bite. But I would rather something else.

Yes, I agree. I hope aftermarket solutions are better/more aggressive.

No lip is worth $2,500. You get about a year out of each one in NYC. I am going to do a CF lip (when more options are available) and paint the outer edge Fire Orange to compliment the car perfectly.

Long Island and it's still 8-12 months. I ran through Vorsteiners non stop on my M6 and i8. Probably 3 each car.

I don't think it'll be a year. R44 Performance already has a line of spoilers out for the G80.

G80 is a great car on its own merits. The front lip seems to be extraneous but of course that's why having a choice is a wonderful thing. What a nice shade of Grey ...

I agree with a lot of others in terms of that gloss black bottom throwing things off. Hoping for a body color option in the future.

Would be nice to make them available for purchase.

You can skip to 3:01 if you'd like.

I spoke with the owner of the car on IG and he told me the CF lip and CF side skirts should be available for purchase sometime at the end of April. Website is below.

And this m3. Yes we should call it a real deal. It stands like an old fashioned aggressive looking m3.
Car is still ugly they just knocked it outside the park with performance. Not many other options in the segment so FOMO hits, perspective changes and here we are with all more widely accepted design. But to me it’s still ugly. That said, if I was in the market for a vehicle I think I’d accept the ugliness for the performance

The spoilers just came in for the G82. Talked to someone possibly the owner through email.

That lip looks tacked on (I guess 'cause it is just that). I need one with better integration into the front lower fascia. M Performance CF lip fits the bill, but I ain't paying $3000. Will wait for more aftermarket options.
