Anyone have experience with Vicrez?

Can someone pretend like I'm 5 years old and show me the difference between the BMW M Performance lip offered on the competition and the CS Lip? I can't tell what's different

I think it's molded to bumper shape vs uniform shape across.

The M Performance one already does this, however.

Are we talking about the contour of the outer edge? I guess I can kind of see the M Performance is more of a "U" shape verses a "W" when looked at from the top if that's an accurate way of describing it

Good call. I was referring to what you describe in the last part of your post, but now I'm not sure.

The CS lip has more distinct edges and looks wider. It’s a subtle difference.

[TrentMeister]

It's subtle but has more of the vorsteiner look from the og m2 lip which I really like.

$879 for a "knock off" lip that's gonna get trashed anyway? GTFOOH

You cant really justify the rep price off of the oem price. All these rep companies just resell chinese built lips that you can purchase on your own from the manufacturers for $400-500 tops even after the ridiculous shipping cost from china when only purchasing 1 at a time. The markup on these is ridiculous.

I am hoping there is a oem version of this. I really like the lines.

There's 3 levels of carbon fiber imo

Oem-supposedly perfect quality and isn't.
Aftermarket-they really try(ind,Rw,Vicrez,autoID)
eBay-snake oil

Personally I like the lip. And I'm willing to pay.

It's the first one available and I've been checking for an after market one online weekly since they announced it.

And at this point I'll be the first m2c wearing this lip which gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

So if 900 is too much for you to stomach for after market, go ahead and just go with the 350 eBay lip with blue tinted clear coat and wrinkled carbon that doesn't line up.

I do agree that oem price should be no indication of aftermarket price tho.

But 3500 for the oem? Fuck that.

I may be right behind you. Let me know how the install goes with factory holes, etc.. It doesn’t look to be a tough install.

The CS replica lip has been floating around on the FB M2 groups for a short while now. I've seen two vendors offer it on their websites.

Please update tho if you buy from Vicrez and let us know about fitment

You know anyone on insta with it?
Who's been selling them?
I haven't seen any offers or discussions on the front lip.

Right lol..
From what I understand the m3/4 gets its hoods made in SD

[ItisMrQ]

Guys it looks like the driver of this black sapphire og m2 has the replica comp splitter. @ 2:10 - It looks great/a bit subtle and will give you an idea what to expect.

Yes there have been plenty of comp style splitters floating around but this thread is talking about CS style

[ItisMrQ]

Yeah true nioh_lbbm2 it's hard to find these out in the wild figured I'd share this one. The cs style lip definitely looks a lot more aggressive I hope someone will share some more images soon of the replicas fitment.
