GTS Replica Splitter

StylePoints · 03-22-2012, 07:20 PM

So I've decided I want to go with a GTS style front splitter. Now the question comes down to which company to buy it from. Any suggestions?

I know JL Motoring, **********, and Ebay all have similar but different ones.
Has anyone bought one from JL or **********? Any suggestions? From the pictures the mod bargain and jl motoring parts look like they are installed differently.

Seen a few on here with the JL Motoring version and fitment looked good. I'm in the market for one in matte or satin black. If anyone has info please pm me.

No one that I know of. Only option maybe to get the JL Motoring version painted. Here are some pics from another thread: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=662798

its ALL carbon fiber. If you don't care for the carbon fiber look your best option is to take a chance on an ebay replica that doesn't come with any mounting hardware and its a coin flip if it will actually fit. Any company willing to step up and get this for us?

Definitely hit up LTBMW.

No question about it, IND's Sport EVO lip (GTS replica) is the best of the bunch. It's practically indistinguishable from OEM in the pictures I've seen, as is the price:

Their GTS wing is the real deal. The lip is a very well-made replica.

just buy the cheapest one, if your car is lowered it will get scraped up after awhile. I cant justify paying over 1K anymore

I have the gts lip from JL-motoring. The fitment is extremely well.

Here is a pic. Keep in mind the add on piece was only clamped for test fitting.

Poppin Fresh · 03-29-2012, 03:39 PM

Does the GTS lip have less clearance than the Arkym? Even with out the add-on splitter?

How's it mounted? Any chance of it coming off @ 150 MPH +?

It is mounted with 3M tape(lots of it) and factory screws. I had my body shop drill holes and use nuts and bolts because I don't trust those factory screws.
