I received the M Performance front lip from them last week after over a month of waiting. Box was a mess, lip was folded in multiple places and the actual quality of the CF was crap. Lots of nice Chinese writing in chalk inside the box as well. Still waiting for them to refund me. . .

The CF is wet carbon and the poly coating they used was exceptionally thin and had ripples in it, like it was applied by a 5th grader with his toes.

They definitely aren't making these in house.

They're in Anaheim I think.
I'll literally drive it back if it's like that

Lip came and is in good/perfect condition.

Well packed, no Taiwan writing, with good clear and nice even weave.

The box came with a bit of swag and all the hardware in the form of a few self tapping philips heads.

Overall I'm satisfied with the packaging and product so far.

As soon as I get home from my business trip I'll fit it.

One annoying factor is there are 0 pre drilled holes and no thick sticky tape to seal the gaps.

Took 19 weeks but here it is!

Glad to hear this worked out for you! Let us know how it fits. It is very possible they use different suppliers for the CS versus the M Performance lip.

As a comparison, here's how mine came/looked:

My wife's phone cut out just after I finally unwrapped it and started showing the damage.

On a positive note, I got my refund!

WTF?!? How the f*** does that happen. That is not shipping damage, its like someone was breaking planks...
Your summary at the end of the video is perfect! Glad you got a refund

To me it appears that the left and right sides of the CS lip sticks out 2"-3" more than the C lip. The middle appears to stick out the same amount but the C splitter has air opening on each side.. The CS also appears to have more of a knife's edge.

I prefer the look of the C lip and I was planning to match it w/the CS spoiler, until @MR.'s post saying the CS spoiler should be matched to the CS lip. The CS lips looks like it's just begging to be scraped up.

"6. The front splitter and rear spoiler were developed to be fitted in combo. They offer a considerable amount of additional downforce and also stability at high speed. The project lead suggested us to fit it only in a combination and not to mix the M Performance parts with the CS parts."

Well glad to hear it finally showed up for you man!

Interesting how they continued the CF through the top part of the lip. They must've just designed it based on how it looks already mounted on the actual car since those are really the only images readily available online. Here's what the OEM CS lip actually looks like unmounted...

Thanks! It took almost 2 weeks for me to get a refund, but I'm glad it finally came. I won't be doing business with them again. If others are happy with them, that's great! I really just wanted other owner to know that it seems like a crap shoot with what you get and they are sourcing their parts from 3rd parties over in China/Taiwan for our parts.

Here is one directly from China for $399, yet Vicrez is selling what is most likely the same part for $859.

If/when I do purchase this, I will be getting OEM from GetBMWParts.com. It's only $500 more and I won't have to worry about fitment or quality issues.

StephGOD Curious where did you find those pics from IND? I couldn't find the CS lip listed on their website

That doesn't look like the factory CS splitter.

Jesus I like their design WAY more.

I'm pretty dissatisfied with the way I'm going to have to mount it.

If I get home and it looks like I'm going to have to drill direct into my bumper I'll be asking for a refund.

As a matter of fact looking at the OEM part I want a refund.

Yeah, and all they are doing is going back to the Chinese manufacturer and getting its shipped directly to you. Good call.

Looks like they must've received one last month and just decided to take some photos of it but yea it's not currently listed for sale on their actual site yet so my guess is BMW Germany isn't producing these at normal volume yet. Same goes with the CS alcantara steering wheel which I ordered months ago

Those pictures look ?stubbier? Maybe when it's mounted it looks different.

Though it does match the drawing???

Maybe it's the angle?

Yes, you are 😂🤣

Interestingly, for the M2 CS Racing, I think they come standard with a FRP plastic version (btw, has anyone seen this for sale? I saw it mentioned during one of the early CS walk-arounds) due to the high rate of damage sustained to front lips from any sort of motorsport usage (or just shitty roads with deep dips) - although you can obviously purchase the CF version if your budget allows replacing it.

I've already damaged my knockoff vorsteiner lip (and I did try to be careful lol), mostly from driving to places I'm not familiar with. I can't imagine wrecking a $3k lip

Hey man have you had a chance to install the lip on your car yet? If so, would you mind sharing your experience on fitment and ease of install as well as some photos of course

mikeyymonster · 08-09-2020, 05:46 AM

I destroyed 2 mperformance lips on my m235i. The CS lip looks like it sticks out quite a bit.

I returned it, it was a nice product but definitely a replica.

No stock mounting points are used and the lip is lacking any sort of real structure.

They send you some self tapping 10mm screws to mount it and I was just not really cool with that.
