Carbon Fiber M3 GTS front lip - Interested?

anyone here interested in the M3 GTS front lip?

i'm currently negotiate with a vendor to make the GTS lip for our M3; but we have to get at least 5 people in order for them to starts the project. They will be able to make the lip 99% identical as the OEM GTS.

Anyone?

Yeah, this should be flexible, not CRP. And everyone will buy 5 or 6 just so they can hang them on their walls as art.

I'd be interested as well....if it's the price of what a lip should be. Like $350 haha. I don't know why BMW lips are so expensive. All my previous cars have lips that are below $500. A lip is a lip, whether it's on a Honda, BMW, or Ferrari.

I have past all yours questions to the developer; they said they can make both CF and PU lip. But the Polyurethane will cost more because they have to invest $$$ into the new PU mold.

I got this quote from them.
Carbon Fiber: M.S.R.P. $1100, Groupbuy Price for the first 10 people = $799
Polyurethane: M.S.R.P $1300, Groupbuy Price for the first 10 people = $1100

Lead time. 7-9 weeks.

If there is a lot interested then they will sign up and become support vendor here.

Lets hear what do you have to say?

Poly costs more?



Back on point, the group buy pricing on the CF front lip seems quite reasonable when compared to other lips on this forum, so now it's just a question of quality and fitment. What would be the non-GB regular price on the front lip? I ask because I almost never jump in on new product GB's-I like to see what I'm getting myself into via pics on maybe 5-6 different people's cars before committing usually.

correct! because you need the right tools and machines to make the Polyurethane plastic lip. That's why you don't see alot of aftermarket parts are made of PU. They are mainly made of carbon fiber or FRP.

Fitment can be garantee; since they are going to make the prototype and mold on the actual M3 bumper. Fitment can be fixed and adjusts during the developing stages.

Non-Groupbuy will pay for the full price.
