Anyone have recs for where to find front splitter/lips for a 2015 f30 (Besides the bmw shop of course).
Thanks in advance.

If it's the OEM that you're looking for, I conveniently had this tab opened and saw this thread so here you go.

There are reps that you could for around the $200 range from what I've seen so the choice is yours.

Thanks imperfect. I am trying to find a similar one in alpine white. Do you find that most shops can dip the part prior to install?

Oh really? Is it one of the forum sponsors here? Everyone seems to be talking about a guy named Brian from a dealership who supports this forum. Is that the person? Thanks.

I have the plain black on sitting in my cart from Ikon also and I have Alpine White as well. I debated between this and the painted one. I’m a little nervous about color match as white is one of the harder colors to match. I do like how some folks leave it unpainted for the “Storm Trooper” look.

I picked up one of their painted lips for my F30 and it was just about perfect, blends right in with the factory paint.

I'd say Estoril Blue II isn't an easy match either, but I'm satisfied for sure. I was going to go with a gloss black lower portion, but in the end kept it all EBII. No complaints here!

I've been looking everywhere for an alpine white top fin painted one with the bottom left unpainted like this...I've only seen the opposite offered by Ikon (bottom painted and top fins unpainted)

That's good to hear. I'm glad you like your painted splitter and had good results from IKON. How was the fitment? I keep reading that the replicas are about 95% in terms of how well they fit and understand they do leave gaps, which is much more obvious if you choose the unpainted one and have a light color like I do.

Haha. I would buy this one in a heartbeat! I guess you'd have to get an unpainted one and have a body shop paint the fins to get this look.
