All right y'all, lets hit this week hard with the last of the M2 Comp M Performance carbon fiber series from CT Carbon!

This is the final part 4, with the installation of the M Performance CS style front lip, and MAN it looks GOOD!

I have installed a lot of these from many places, on many cars and this is a really great lip! The install is easy, the CF is perfect and looks absolutely fantastic. Fitment really is perfect, and I love the way this meets the strong curves and angles of the M2 front bumper cover.

I also STRONGLY suggest installing SLiPLO at the same time, as it has already saved me (hangs head in shame) FOUR TIMES in three weeks. I will have a follow up install DIY for sliplo, but I literally dont know why you wouldn't install it as well at the same time.

So I got a chuckle at your first comment on the other thread, but now struggling to understand the hater-aid here.

You feeling ok? Any particular reason to attack my character, or just not enough coffee this morning?

Some DIYs are super simple like this but still can be helpful.

You made an ad and were compensated for it.

Did you film all that for the parts alone or was there some cash involved? What’s an ad video go for these days? How does this work?

Can you maybe make a DIY video on how to run this play? I need a HPFP and have a camera. Maybe you can show me how to work something out with Dorch?

I appreciate that and no, I am not paid for this work beyond what pittance I get from Youtube. Each hour of video equates to about a 1:4 ratio, maybe 1:5 of time invested to do the work, produce the video and post. If anything I am ludicrously below minimum wage for ANY money I make on this at all, when time is factored in. I am, budget wise, at a significant net loss (in regards to income) overall when you factor in part costs, travel costs and time.. but that isn't the reason I do this.

My reasons for doing this are many, but the single largest one is if I am going to do all of this work anyway, I might as well film and produce it too. I really enjoy doing it. Also, I have gotten to know some truly amazing people, made connections and had introductions to folks I never would have met otherwise.

So for the critics.. believe me or not, but I enjoy what I do and hope others will too. Considering almost 2mil views now, I must be doing something of some value.

I appreciate the support for the hustle.

Because it’s framed as some guy putting parts on his car just filming friendly DIYs when it’s an advertisement. A thread? Fine. 3? Take that spam to the sponsors classifieds.

If I want Mode or CT adds I’ll sign up for their mailing lists or check out the sponsors classifieds.

Thank you!

Humble YouTuber. Real man of the people. Just out there spamming cheap product, day in, day out. Just doing the work. Asking nothing in return but a little appreciation for his 2M views.

Oh and maybe use his promo code for 10% off. Helps build the brand.

Keep up the good work BMW DIY Guy. I appreciate the detail you put into your videos as they are generally useful regardless of the specific product brand.

Hey BMW DIY guy. YouTube subscriber here. Been following your threads and using them for direction as I mod my M2C. Appreciate the videos! Please don't let that troll discourage you. Always look forward to them notifications. Much appreciated. Btw the AA EL series was dope.

Thanks for the review! Completely agree w/ your comments in the other thread regarding quality of CF parts off of third party vendors. It's a hit-or-miss when ordering online, you'll never know what you get. So I do appreciate the in-depth review.

Ended up buying the lip because I was in the market for an OEM replica.. as I didn't want to pay OEM prices. I was leaning towards the M Perf one, but didn't like how there were 'air scoops' near the center part of the lip and was afraid that debris / gunk would end up in there. Ultimately went w/ the CS version and bought it from Carbon GT. It was ~$150-200 USD more than some of the ones I found on ebay, but well worth the piece of mind.

Shipping took ~1 week and it arrived decently packaged.

Looking forward to getting this on the car!
