Front Splitters Opinion

Sergeant Major · 07-22-2013, 10:04 PM

I just got some front lip splitters in. I haven't installed them yet. The paint is about 99%...just barely off. You have to look really close to tell the difference. I got them to cover the curb rash. Install them or not?

I like them.

Looks good. I need to get new splitters. They took a beating ever since I lowered my car. Probably going for carbon fiber though.

OEM style splitter is always a good idea....

These are not installed. I just did a test fit to see if I'd like them and to get an opinion on whether or not to go ahead with the install.

Did the paint on your splitters match up with the rest of your car? Mine is very close as you can see in my link.

matched up really well for Montego Blue. Same for the M3 spoiler i bought too.

Why not? Do it, you bought them didn't you?

Ali-E90 · 07-23-2013, 07:36 PM

I just received mine from eBay and did a test fit. Jet black looks like a match to me.
Did a test fit and they fit well and look great. Looking forward to installing mine soon.

A great, subtle upgrade that makes a big difference.

Sergeant Major · 07-23-2013, 08:36 PM

Here are the splitters installed.

Looks good. If the paint match is 99%, I wouldn't worry about it. No one else will notice.

If someone gets that low to the ground to inspect them and says anything....kick them in the butt while they are bent over.

My bad, these things are called front bumper lip splitter spoiler from emotors 2000 on eBay. They had a 99.8% rating. I had asked a lot of questions and they were answered very quickly. Fast free shipping and great customer service.

Roger that! My wife drove my car about a week after I got it and put a lot of curb rash on it the first time she pulled into a parking spot. My main goal for these was to cover that up and they did.

That is why I am putting mine on too...curb rash from wife and previous owner.

I have splitters on my e90 and i think they look great. I actually recently got them resprayed because of rock chips, but I think it is the best thing you can do for the front end, and they're cheap too!
