Front Splitter Questions

Front splitter questions

I have my choices narrowed down to Vorsteiner or 3D Design. I have a couple dumb questions though, any feedback is appreciated.

I really don't want CF, but I am guessing Gloss Black to match the rest of the car is not an option. so, here are the questions.

1. does anyone have experience with the fit of these 2 splitters, quality or Not?

2. does the CF match the BMW OEM stuff? I think 2x2 twill? Same color?

3. Does the Vortsteiner that is always pictured re you to purchase the lower lip? Or does that come with it. I saw a disclaimer that said it was purchased separately.

Thanks for any input guys.

If you don't want CF why not go with poly?

1. Fit is spot on. Quality is top notch. In the end it's a personal choice that only you can decide. Aw who am I kidding...get the Vorsteiner!!
2. Yes, colour, finish and CF weave is very close to OEM
3. All one unit.
4. How do I know....

That is hot. But there is an additional splitter that shows on most pics (goes across the middle). But I may bag that, looks good without it on your car.

The center splitter is detachable however it usually comes already screwed into the whole front spoiler assembly. Car looks awesome btw
