That $500 piece that you linked from eBay, seems to be using pictures stolen from the original @carbon.fiber.art company. Minimal seller feedback, and a lousy description. I would not gamble, too many red flags....

This! Way too many red flags. Also, note that anything that is "real" CF, even if it's not top quality, for the F90 M5 typically has a ransom sized price tag associated with it. From quality replicas to the real deal, just about every CF lip I've come across for this car that wrap around the entire bottom portion the front bumper are usually around the $1700 and up range. I'm sure there are sub-standard ones out there you can get for a really low price, but that goes without saying... "you get what you pay for".
I myself don't plan to pay $2500 for a front lip on a daily driver. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of options and I've been hoping a nice replica of the RKP would have hit the scene by now for maybe $1000 at max 😅. In the meantime, I'm preoccupied by wheels and lowering the car for now. |
I believe RW Carbon has an RKP replica IIRC .. I bought their side skirts and was pleasantly surprised by the quality, fitment and price.
I learned the hard way that spending a ton on front lips does not make sense as they take a beating. Had an RKP Lip on one of my F10 M5's and it lasted leas than 90 days. |
I could not agree more. I went through 2 Vorsteiner replica jet black front lips on my F10. The first looked like a high school freshman's pock marked face after a few months and the second was "operator error" on a steep ramp in a parking garage. Even though they were replicas and not CF, it still hurt.
