Does anyone have experience with the Turner front lip for the OG M2?

Looking to get a front lip/splitter that mounts with OEM holes/screws. Don't want to drill into the bumper.

Any experience or options are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I have it and love it. Really completes the front end in an OEM+ kinda way that's not overly in your face. Also goes great with the side winglets if you have those. It's a handful of double sided tape, a few OEM mounting points, and a few self tapping screws into the bumper.

here are a few pics of it from different angles:

That looks great, thanks for the pics. On the Tuner website, there is no mention of self tapping screws, only mentions OEM mounting locations. Did you add those to be safe, or had to use self tappers?

Maybe they've changed the design slightly or I'm misremembering but I'm pretty sure there were 2-3.

any other front lips out there that are a direct mount to OEM without drilling or taping screws in?

Yours is the AutoID lip IIRC… shouldn't you have remembered that?

The turner lip is very different. OP should have linked it. Had to dig for it myself

Its crazy to me that its mostly held by tape and the few factory mounting points. Maybe enough I guess, also I guess if you never going to take it over 130 it should be fine

It looks like there is one rivet to install in the center of the bumper. Would be great if we could hear of anyone using this front lip on their M2.

Now that's funny

Wait, weren’t we just reading about someone that had their lip destroyed going pretty fast? And wasn't even taped but not enough screws. Plenty of stories out there of similar things happening even with self tapping screws.

Yeah that sounds awfully outrageous

I like to go fast at times and when I do I don't want any fucking surprises

I was just wondering if anybody had installed the Turner front lip and if they had a good experience with it. I understand different lips require different installation methods, just curious about the Turner lip as there is not a lot of info I could find.

If you prep the surface carefully and use enough tape it will be fine, 3M VHB has an incredibly high weight carrying capacity, like a couple of pounds per square inch.

My rear deck lid spoiler is held on solely by 3m and it has been like that for like 4 years, and it is holding up perfectly fine. I literally could probably crack the spoiler or damage the clear coat before I ripped it off the trunk.

If that is not enough for you, beta link is even stronger.

From what I understand the amount of force push down a front lip gets is much stronger than a spoiler. It would make sense since its where the wind hits first. 3m tape is very strong no doubt but so is the amount of force the front lip gets when you going 150mph.

It is probably fine don’t get me wrong, plenty out there never been ripped out, some have but you just never know if it is poor installation or something else. Personally I would add some self tapping screws as well just for peace of mind. I get it people don’t want to drill their bumper but its under side no one will ever see it and if it prevents your shit going flying and damaging your car or another car imo worth it.

I have a Turner front lip installed. I didn't install myself but the previous owner stated it was a Turner R&D car and has all Turner parts on it.

I just checked for you and there are 5 total screws. 2 in the outer edges and 1 in the center.

FWIW I have gone 153 mph and it didn't fly off 😅

I doubt there is that much aero forces where it exceeds the 3ms weight capacity. The lip is extremely narrow so there's not going to be much drag, then there is not much lip as well so there going to be little to zero down force generated.

That's great information. Thank you. I'm surprised that there are very few M2s running this lip...
