Arkym front lip on Jerez Black E93










overall fit is pretty good -- it's not an easy DIY if you don't have a lift or like to drill into your lip yourself

i opted to get a bodyshop to do it for me

the gloss on the CF could be better -- but overall I'm pretty happy with it. Makes the car look a lot better from the front especially.

thanks to Erik at PYSpeed

sweet car. came out great. i love mine, fitment was perfect. i bought 3 others to see which i liked best and when you see the fitment of some of the others out there in person you begin to appreciate the fitment of the akrym real quick. i have yet to find one that fits as flush and nice as this one. i was orig gonna mold mine for one piece oem look but now that it is painted same color i opted to just attach it since fitment was great. looks like i ordered and areo package from bmw and it came oem

enjoy, love your color combo on the car. i miss my Carbon black cars i had in the past and the jerez reminds me of them

thank you very much, yeah i wanted to go with a color match look this time to keep it all oem looking. changed my matte black stuff to color match as well. if i didn't have tint or wheels i think the car would look oem with a areo pack from the dealer in my op
