Can the LW splitter be fitted with the m performance front winglets?

Just installed the Kohlenstoff (Japan) front lip and rear diffuser with center LED. We also added a CRT AW stripe to the RKP trunk spoiler. Up next we will install the Motorsport24 front lip.

Really digging that RKP spoiler. The lip is ok, but the winglets are kind of out of place.

RKP trunk fitment is almost better than M-performance. Took us 5 mins to install yesterday.

Front canards are on because they go with the 3D front lip. We are testing so many different options now I'm going to have some mixed matched parts until we are ready for paint

In terms of overall build quality here is my list at the moment.

1. 3D Design (perfect carbon weave and fitments)
2. RKP front lip (OE M4 GTS look, great weave, install is more involved)
3. M-performance (Wish M-performance would have released a full lip to go with the winglets. Weave and fitments are OE perfect)
4. Kohlenstoff (weave is not as good as the above and we had to buy some longer bolts for the rear diffuser)

Motorsport24 - coming here next week will take a full review
Vorsteiner - waiting for the first kits to ship. Love the styling

Glad to hear that. The RKP spoiler looks amazing, especially on AW. That will definitely be in the 1st group of parts I buy for my M2.

Are you running 3D Design side skirts?

I'm curious to see how the M24 lip fits and looks. I was excited for it, until I saw the center of the lip that runs under the bumper is a huge hole.

RKP's trunk spoiler is looking good but it has no perfect fitment or IND needs to align it properly, it has a bigger gap on the left side of the trunk.

Does anyone know of any other front lips coming out for the M2? I'm about to pull the trigger on one but I'd hate to and then next thing we know something is out on the market!

Agreed. Looking for a little more flare than the LW. Maybe if the winglets were the same material as the LW splitter. Waiting for the installed pics and details.
CFRP/ABS/Poly would be great since it's going to make contact with the ground.
I suspect there aren't a lot of options since the quantities of M2's manufactured are low and not a lot of profit to be made.

Kind of a disappointment. The only things in that kit that piques my interest are side skirts.

That front lip on the sides is perfect. If that was ingrates into the RKP gts style it would be perfect

Personally pulled trigger on the LW. I actually like the way it rounds out the front--low, straight like a splitter ought to be, and matches to side & view from top. The front end has enough Darth Vader about...which I like BTW, so the LW fits completely across in a sort of unstated stylish way. It matches curve line of the actual bumper right under grill. Functional but doesn't look like it came out of a design studio college competition.
But that's me. Your mileage may differ.

Install was quick for photos. Fitments are perfect on the RKP trunk.

The Vorsteiner does not account for the fact that you enter steeper driveways at an angle. The angle approach will destroy the lip, because it extends on the sides instead of the middle.

Any chance you guys are looking in to a GTS style hood to install? I know m24 and LTW have a GTS style hood and want to pull the trigger but I want to see someone else take the dip first.

Car looks great!!

So.. this happened the other day. While it's a relatively minor rub that isn't totally visible to most people, it's completely visible to me. I had been considering a front CF addition to my car before, but now it's kind of a necessity. Anyone have any suggestions on a tasteful addition that will also cover this blemish? If this post is not appropriate for this thread please let me know and I'll delete it or move it.

Thanks in advance!
