Dang I would do it for that. I was quoted $275 for just the front lip…

The Lightweight style is reminiscent to the limited-edition CRT M3 BMW offered some years back:

Wow, that’s wild. I just put the M performance lip on my g87 but I did not ppf it given I bought it slightly used. $275 is crazy for a lip.

Not all ppfs are created equal. Before comparing prices, one should make sure the same product is being used (pricing also varies by location).

It’s xpel ultimate. Same as what’s on my car.

rk95 Just got a second quote for the same thing at $299. At those prices I don’t know if it’s worth it.

That’s expensive for something that’s certainly going to take a beating. No harm in getting it done, but I do think at some point the cost will outweigh the usage of the lip after a few scrapes.

I’m a huge fan of PPF, but I personally wouldn’t on a lip at that price. Take it or leave it, but I say roll the dice, you can always replace it. I don’t think PPF will help if you scrape hard (which we all will at some point if lowered and having a lip).

If you do PPF it and somehow never scrape, I’d say possibly money well spent. It’s all about your driving and lifestyle. I take mine into a lot of lots with steeper driveways + I’m completely lowered on H&R VTF springs lol. That’s why I opted for polyurethane lightweight performance lip. I’d blast a CF off in a years time.

I have the AST adjustable kit to install but I’m not going to lower it all the way. So we will see.

Best of luck! Hopefully you can talk them down in price if you decide to PPF it.

Bimmercoded through the OBDlink CX and added the B&W sound profiles ( worth it ) as all as interior lighting, back up mirror, etc. Need to figure out anti-dazzle now...

Glad you were able to get this stuff sorted out! Let me know what you think of the anti dazzle.

As for what I did to my M2 today? I opened the doors and was greeted with the best thing in the world; new car smell. I’m happy it still has it after 5 months.

I’ve noticed that most new cars smell like most other new cars, but BMW’s have a unique smell that I really love.

My friend bought a preowned 8 series coupe that he purchased some ‘m’ cup holder bottoms. He didn’t like that he could see them in his car, so he gave them to me. Nothing exciting, just some car jewelry (similar to the ones below).

I’m not sure how long he will will keep his car as he’s already having some major issues with it (it’s a 2020 with 12k miles; has a steering rack issue that will require 5-6k in work as well as some other issues).

Blacked out m2 bage
A few other odds and ends

Not today but got yellow drls installed at North Raleigh Performance. Nice crew there, and the new lights look unreal. This is how the car should have come.

Looks good! I'm wanting a smaller CF spoiler and this might be the right size.

Thats what I was looking for as well, and something that was full trunk width. There is a few out there that leave an inch or so to the trunk edge left and right

How long was shipping and how close is the weave/pattern to the roof?

I’m in NY shipping from the UK was about 2 days

Roof weave/pattern is differnt, skinnyier and straight lines compared to a heribone/chevron pattern and fatter on the wing and the rest of the carbon

I'm guessing being apart and at different heights it's really not all that noticeable.

Thanks again
