Gauging interest in new $349 lip

supersam · 04-20-2018, 02:30 PM

Could you guys make a version that would serve as an undertrat for CF lips? I'm imaging what you have above, flat center, that can mount to a Mode Carbon lip etc

It will take some brainstorming, but I'm sure we can offer something that is going to be OEM+ so it won't take away from the overall factory bumper design.

I would say that it would most likely have to be relatively flat as the design of the M2 front bumper really doesn't lend itself to a raised center. Extending it past the sides like you have on the M3 with the winglets is good, just no winglets. When it is to narrow and does not stick out on the sides, like the Lightweight splitter, it narrows the front of the car to much and then you would basically just have a metal 3 piece version of the Lightweight one. Just my .02. Excited to see what you come up with.

The problem is there are a lot of lips out there and we can't make one for each lip out there. Also if some of these lips have their hardware hidden you'd have to drill through the part to install the lip.

I like the one on the Suby, stick it out more and following the contours of the bumper. Would be interested to see a mockup of it on the M2!

We will be displaying an M4 with our lip and some new products for it at Bimmerfest. If you are going to the show, come stop by the booth and ask for me (Ray).

twin fed · 06-15-2018, 08:24 AM

Any updates?

RenownRay · 06-16-2018, 12:14 AM

Yes, good news is all the CAD was just completed!

Bad news, my USB drive crashed...all the files were on it. Gotta redo it.

Should delay it about a week.

just blaze · 06-16-2018, 12:24 AM

Patiently waiting as I'm looking for a nice simple lip

papertarget · 06-16-2018, 03:31 AM

ship me one to aus!

ORG · 06-17-2018, 01:18 PM

Would be interested in seeing this as well. My CF lip is too low and I scrape on most driveways, including my own.

gtaM2 · 06-25-2018, 08:46 AM

this also seems like good protection should you clip a curb in the parking lot

kpaso · 06-25-2018, 11:47 PM

Also interested in updates!

RenownRay · 06-26-2018, 01:03 PM

We are plugging away and just re-finished up all the CAD. Just have to double check it and get the files off to laser cutting.

To address an earlier question about making one to fit carbon lips, that's a possibility, but with so many variations of lips out there, we would only be able to make one that worked with an OEM shape.

Teaser CAD pic?

RenownRay · 06-27-2018, 12:37 PM

let me see what I can do.

jason86 · 06-27-2018, 01:32 PM

Will you guys ship it to Canada?

RenownRay · 06-27-2018, 01:47 PM

yes, but freight and VAT won't be included. It goes UPS ground, so shipping is not bad. Before I sent one all the way to Australia for $130, Canada will be less than that.

RenownRay · 06-28-2018, 04:43 PM

Here are a couple of sneak peeks. Keep in mind that the M2 body is only an artistic rendering and is not accurate to shape and scale, thus not everything seems lined up on the images.

dew343 · 08-03-2018, 07:15 PM

Ray any more up dates?

RenownRay · 08-03-2018, 08:33 PM

not yet. we got a bit behind schedule. I'll post up as soon as there is news.

dtmpower98 · 08-16-2018, 01:15 AM

Excited as ever to see the final product Ray!

Jchoi · 08-17-2018, 11:55 PM

I just got a new M2... Doesn't have the carbon fiber packages. This would work on it right? I'm really interested.
