- It uses the OEM holes for the instal

- It covers the gloss black parts of the front bumper
- Fitment is a 10/10
- ...and compared to many others, it is one of the cheaper solutions, bit with an amazing carbon quality!👍🏻

Her you go!

This looks great. So it covers the front gloss black peices or do you need to take them off? Thanks!

I'm going with the OEM M Performance eventually. Any knock-offs for that one yet?

Most of the knockoffs out there are of the M-performance lip.

it covers it, wouldn't need to take off

Could you provide close up pictures of the outer connection where the end covers are covered by the Unit17 lip and the colour section of the bumper join. Is this flush or a large step.

Just did a test fit on the Unit17 front lip, fits perfectly, all OEM bolts fit in the original spots. The side corner pieces fit over the black gloss. A couple photos...For the price IMO it was a no brainer. Quality on it is better than the carbon I've got on my F80.

Best lip out there IMO.

Neither the M performance and 3D design do that. Just one long weave like most lips. The M performance is great and OEM is top notch quality. The 3D design lip is a perfect blend of both the RSC and M performance lip. All three have great quality. I personally have the RSC lip and will be sharing photos of it on my car later this week.

Did you ever post a pic of your RSC lip? I'm either doing that or Mperf

The only thing I don’t like about the Unit 17 lip is the weave is going different directions on all three pieces. That would drive me nuts. But it is very good looking. Nice OEM+ option.

I'm having a dilemma of whether to get Unit 17 or RSC....


edit- went ahead and ordered RSC front lip lel

Does this stick out a bit more than OEM?

From all the pictures I've seen, yeah definitely does stick out more than OEM

Nice!!! Most likely going with the RSC as well. Ive seen it on Autocouture's shop car. My favorite ive seen yet. They were getting the carbon sides fitted last time I was there.

Yup it looks clean, I like the one piece look

Now just waiting on car to arrive!!

Just ordered the Unit 17.

Anyone have a Vorsteiner lip installed or on order?

Use to have one on my F10 & loved it. I think I'm going to cancel the M Performance one and go aftermarket.

I think the M performance lip is ok, I just didn't like the fact its three separate parts. Great product if you want something that's more subtle imo

James NCG80M3 has the Suvneer front lip that looks good! Maybe he can post some pics of it in here.

I really like the one piece look, but out of all the 3 pieces I've seen, I think Unit 17 is going to look the best with the factory CF. The weave/color seems to be spot on. I obviously don't have it in hand yet, but at the price, I don't think you can beat it.

Was looking into XXII and some of the cheap alibaba stuff as well, but it'll drive me crazy if the CF doesn't match my bumper ducts since they're so close. For a little bit more, I'm getting something quality.

I also didn't want to spend crazy money on a lip.

Thanks to the guys at Unit 17 and luckym3girlnj I think I made the right choice. I'll post once its installed.

As soon as my car hits port I'm ordering the unit 17
