We will have some installed shots of the new M2 kohlenstoff lip soon. Just waiting for the ECU to come back for the iND M2.

Is this the M24 lip or another company?

This is from another company located in Japan. I'll order an M24 front lip so we can see the quality in person.

This looks quite nice except for the ends that have the same issue that all other front lips have. As the M2 has perfectly rounded corners on the front bumper (compared to 90 degrees on most other M's) finishing of the lip with a straight edge just looks weird. BMW made the winglets curved for a reason.

I was in contact with them and was about to order one myself. Maybe I'll wait to see the results from you first now.

M24 just sent a reply and they are adding an M2 lip to my next Air shipment. We will take detailed photos of the product and install.

Anything you guys can do for figuring out a reasonably priced carbon fiber hood option would be great. I see a few euro companies have them, but nobody importing into the USA.

I am looking for something with vents in the proper place for aerodynamic pressure relief, not a super expensive M4 GTS replica. I think a lot of people who track these cars would be interested in something similar.

And while I'm throwing unrealistic wish list items out there, I'd pay a couple grand for some wider front fenders so we can put something besides a pathetic 275 width tire up front.

Let's wait for it to be mounted first.. before any conclusions..

the rear diffuser does look awesome.. like the F1 style light in the middle.

Really? I'm surprised based on the name - I expected it was German! I'm looking forward to seeing all of these lip options! I haven't been excited for many of them.

Vorsteiner sounds rather Germanic. But is Taiwanese.

Umm from those angles doesn't look too flattering. Too fast n furious for my liking.

The Kohlenstoff front lip doesn't look bad, but I would like to see more pics from different angles and in different lighting. The F1 style light in Kohlenstoff rear diffuser just ruins it. F1 lights on street cars are just silly.

I think 3D Designs has the best looking front splitter and aero parts out right now for the M2... But their stuff is just so expensive! I would only put their parts on a show car. I'd be afraid to put their stuff on a daily driver.

The Lightweight lip seems like a nice subtle and affordable option for a daily driver though.

Not sure it will do squat at higher speeds, maybe. I really did it for the aesthetics, since I felt the stock air dam needed some lower protection and finishing.

And it was a 1/3 of the price of most at $499.
Granted it's the lightweight poly' not fancy carbon, but it's definitely tough for the driveways I'm sure to rub on.

Btw, adding pics is a joke... no matter the resize they kept failing to load.
Here's better pics of the installed splitter.
For the $ this (Lightweight)is definitely the best option in my opinion. Looks good in contrast to the white bumper.

Took this pic at the Essen show, the Rep told me is was not finished in time of the show but they put it on the car anyway to show what they are working on because the next Essen show is a year away and they wanted to get the word out. I'll take a better look at it in about 10 months!

For those like me who don't like most front lips out there because they don't flow with the lower corner curves. Here's a solution from LW ( LightWeight ). They do look similar to the M Performance, but these do stick out more and are made to be an add on to their front lip.
