Mode Carbon GTS Lip

Hey guys came across this carbon fiber lip from mode carbon. Looks very sharp IMO, has anyone else purchased this lip or had experience with mode carbon products?

I still really like the overall look of the lip so we are going to stock the new pre-preg ones. I'll update this thread with new photos once we get one of the lips in here.

Any update Nate?

My Lightweight arrived from EAS today. The box, after 7 days in transit was a bit chapped with a hole in it, BUT no scars, or scratches. Boys at EAS did a fine job in wrapping it.

Went with this as any CF looks great at C&C for brag rights, but any repair is simply a headache and more expensive. Not to mention the matching up of same. Report from a fellow in California said, this LIGHTWEIGHT works at speed. It's Christmas in late March. Am thoroughly chuffed.

It was posted about two weeks ago here in the thread. It's on the Mode Carbon development car so no one has one.

Overall they have a good reputation. Where a thread on F80post where someone had issues with them but every company has some angry customers.

I was looking at the Lightweight since it's $499 but found the Vorsteiner VRS Aero Front Splitter Carbon Fiber PP 2x2 Glossy BMW M2 F87 16-17 for the same price though shipping is $75. Anyone install this splitter? Experience with Vivid Racing?

There are (2) pieces to the Vorsteiner front aero kit. The splitter seems to only be the middle section where the spoiler seems to be the end sections. Maybe I'm wrong?

No, you are right. You need the spoiler too @ $1200.

I've since learned that what I thought was too good to be true, is/was... Back to the Lightweight.

Heard back on this. The Vorsteiner Front aero package is sold as a set; spoiler and center splitter. The center splitter is a replacement part. Hmmm... Mode Carbon or Vorsteiner Front aero. Two different looks and haven't decided which one yet.

Easy choice if you ask me. The Mode Carbon one looks sweet! The lip from Vorsteiner is horrible.

That's actually my car in the photo. There are a bunch of other people out there already running this lip. There are a couple more photos of the lip on my instagram page (@f87_m2). I love it and think it's the best looking lip on the market. Photos don't do it justice.

Did we ever get an update of the M24 lip? Would like to see more photos of it installed once the issues were resolved
