R44 does an incredible job. Highly recommend. Check out IND distribution as well.

Stay far away from them. FAR FAR AWAY! I cannot stress this enough. Sam has the worst customer service. They have an F on BBB. They have a ton of back orders and customers that don’t get their parts for months to a year. If you’re order is faulty they have a 0 tolerance refund policy. They have good quality but man did they go down hill

There isn’t much selection right now. The best is OEM. R44 is making good products but they aren’t quite there yet with the lip they have. They are making a new one to remove the gloss black on the front bumper. There attention to detail is very good, how they want to match the weave patterns perfectly with all there pieces. They will be very good in the next few years if what they are showing keeps up. I have the RSC lip coming for my G82 through auto couture. I’ll probably end up getting the R44 side skirts. I got the carbon exterior package so I think I’ll have a very good set of carbon pieces on the vehicle when I get it.

I have the OEM front lip. But appreciated parts from IND and Vorsteiner on my F82. I'm a little anal, and all of the exterior parts on my old car were single weave carbon to match the roof. But I got the G82 with the exterior carbon option and had to give up on that.

Ordered the R44 front lip and I think it looks insanely good. Haven’t installed yet but all the pics I saw tell me I’m going to love what I end up getting (arrives in a few weeks). Stradale design also came out with a super sharp looking front lip. It’s a close second in my opinion. Pics here from Insta

The combo of the gloss black OEM piece with the CF lip doesn't look right. Ideally you'd want to remove the OEM Gloss black pieces and replace it with one integrated lip. It's looks a little bit 'stuck on' at the minute and lacks that finished cohesive look I think. It's a good effort but I'm not sold on it

Nice! I kinda like that stradale design one! Hadn't heard of them and they're close to my house. I may have to go see in person.
I'm looking for something < $1k for the front lip.

The rest is OEM for me but that's one area I don't mind going cheap.

The R44 is sick too. I have a Brooklyn grey coming. Just collecting parts…

We have some very exciting products coming for the G8x platform soon.

Interested to get your guys feedback on the initial renders:



Will be a 3pc lip thats installed similar to M Performance. Will replace the gloss black trim. Will have a version with winglets, one without.

Prototypes being printed at the moment.

Carbon Fibre only initially.

I like the design of it. Similar to the M performance lip but more aggressive. I would be interested in a version without the winglets. I’m glad you mentioned you are developing one with and one without it.

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. The brief was too keep it respectable to the design of the car whilst exaggerating the stand out elements.

Agree RE winglets. Its totally personal preference.

These renderings look really good. I also like the one with winglets as it would match up with the M Perf CF side blades and M Perf CF rear winglets.

Too bad I've already receive the M Perf CF lip as this would likely be something I'd be interested in.

The winglets would look good with the the side skirts winglets to match but if you don’t match them it wont look right. Or maybe it’s my OCD.

Thanks for the feedback man!

The MP lip is nice. You won't be disappointed.
