i'm thinkin of purchasing a front spoiler for my car soon, problem is i cant decide which one to buy..i love hartge but its made of fiber glass and i think someone have posted a thread that polyutherane or polyurethane spoilers are better ...my question is which brands carry those spoilers??
currently i cant decide between hartge, breyton, acs or hamann...plz help me out guys

First off, why do you want/need a spoiler? Is it to improve down force or for esthetic reasons. If it is for downforce you will want to look at wind tunnel or independent testing results. If it is for esthetics, you will have to be the judge of what 'looks best' to you and within your budget. Hope this helps.

well i need it for both actually hehe! its just that i dont understand how to look at those testing results, if there is any...but the most important reason i need the front spoiler is for additional downforce, when i drivin to mad rivers, the car felt as if it was floating...i was going ard 100mph...any suggestions which one i should purchase ben? thx =)

I really doubt there's any need for additional downforce on a street car. If you really do want something that will increase performance you're going to be looking at a lot of cash compared to the cosmetic versions. I havn't actually seen any non-cosmetic lips for E90's either. Maybe someone else has and can comment though.

hmm thx for the info ghunger, anyways what about cosmetic-wise?? which front spoiler u think is best for the e90?

You should get what makes you happy and what you like, its your car right?

hey there kill...apparently all the front spoilers look good except for viniatti lol!
but does anyone know which brands carry those polyurethane spoilers??

[kekoa]

I can't wait for hartge or hamann to make a cf spoiler so i don't have to fork out the extra $$$$$$ to paint.

They'll probably charge you a ton cause it's CF though.

For black car, any lip will look good.

I have an alpine white, and it needs something real clean. Hartge lip's design is the cleanest out there.

Just make sure it doesn't crack on the way to here from germany.

Thanks. Im kind of giving up on the hartge lip now, I think im just going to pay to get it fixed out of my pocket. Seller really isn't cooperating at this moment.

Seattle eh? nice place. I am trying to transfer to UW this year, hopefully I'll be in seattle by fall.
I'll probably make a visit to Horsepowerfreaks to check out there E90 turbo kit setup in person. It looks pretty damn sweet so far. Everything in the right place, but lets see how well the tuning goes, which is the hardest part. Slapping on turbo and some piping isn't a tough task anyway.

I was once deciding for Hartge or Hamann. I ordered Hartge front lip with Hamann Eyelids instead. Sseriously, if you have black e90, don't sweat it. ANY lip looked good on black. White E90 shows every single line details of the car, so its quite hard to find a lip that flows perfectly with them. Hartge had the cleanest(stock looking in a way) design, so I opted for tht one.

Whichever lip you get, you can't go wrong. really. Just stay with name brand design. Good luck with your decision.

thx for the suggestions lux! UW huh? how old are u?? i'm in ohio state right now, have about 1 more year of hardships to go through X_X;

Kerscher of course, it's the most aggressive, just beware of potholes, speedbumps and any twigs, haha.
