Looks like some more reasonable options starting to come out. Not to hijack, but when I was looking at your link I came across the inlets as well. This was the only part of the CF exterior pack that I cared about, but it wasn't worth the price of the whole thing to me. I might have to take the plunge of some of these and get a sense of quality / fitment.

DUDE! Great find! I might do them as well! Much easier pill to swallow. I’m BSM, so it all rather blends in anyway so I don’t see myself looking these over with a magnifying glass. May of just talked myself into these^

Someone posted that splitter on another thread from Aliexpress. The price was even less, more like $450 ish.

With the lead time on Amazon it looks like they're all coming from China and probably all The same 'factory'

Vic55 · 08-04-2021, 02:53 PM

If this shit was "Prime" Id play the game.

Haha. That'd be nice to send it back easily if it's garbage.

Might have to use my Amazon points to take a flyer on one

Yea, similar but cheaper (over $100) on AliExpress I found

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...21eZhFHSm&mp=1

I really want to give this a go, but just not sure the quality, but for less than $900 may just bite the bullet...

corbs09 · 08-04-2021, 04:33 PM

Eh I just bought one... had to try it. I will report back with fitment and pictures.

McLaren720s · 08-04-2021, 04:34 PM

I think in a little while most of these will come to US and start shipping out much faster.
I don't want to risk having to return something to China if there is a problem with the item.

Limegrntaln · 08-04-2021, 05:03 PM

Some of this cheap stuff turns out, alright. I ordered some $60 CF mirror caps from eBay, for one of my other cars. They're pretty legit. They arent the stick on. This is the full replacement caps.

I just wish it would last longer.

I paint correct and coat all of my own cars. This is one I did, last week. My G82 is on order, but it will be paint corrected and coated when I get it.

Let the parts flood begin!!

MiamiM8Comp · 08-04-2021, 06:18 PM

Been looking at Maxton design front lip. Wondering how these two will compare.

MarineRaider · 08-04-2021, 07:23 PM

My rule on this car, everything high ( mirrors, side thing) OEM BMW CF...everything low...CHINA.

Subscribed! Very interested!

///MeraldCity_G82 · 08-04-2021, 09:21 PM

I kind of like the lip, I prefer ones that don't stick out too much forward for driveway clearance.

I might try and buy this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099WC4Z4V...dDbGljaz10cnVl

I kinda want that as well! I wonder if that requires front bumper removal to install

It does, might as well do the lips as well. Luckily we know someone who can do the work for a reasonable price.

It looks like it is a direct replacement based on pics and carbon layup looks decent but pics can be deceiving LOL

///MeraldCity_G82 · 08-04-2021, 09:34 PM

I honestly have no issues with carbon layup done in China. My high end mountain bike frames are made there and I never have issues. Fitment is a different story though. I might take one for the team and order the inlets and lip.
