We'll try and get a Gloss Black variant done in the new year, but will most likely be Q2.
Keep us updated! IMO gloss black make so much sense for a wearable part.

I like the look of the street pro, but it's matte black. If they'd offer it in gloss black I'd pick one up.

I mean, if it is that important, just get the design you like in matte. Take ot to a painter and have it painted glossy black on the exposed pieces....I wouldn't bother painting the bottom, or mounting areas.

I don't have time to do that unfortunately. I need parts that I can simply take out of the box and install. I get these companies want to make & charge for more expensive carbon fiber parts, but car comes oem with gloss black accents. These parts should be available in gloss black and or painted to match from the get go.

Thoughts on the new Vorsteiner aero front lip?
Has anyone put in a preorder?
I’m considering but concerned it may be too low

Really nice but too expensive for me to eventually destroy.

These look like they're gonna look great on the car! Sharp & not overdone. I think I've found the ones I'm gonna go with when I get my car (in July! LOL)

Must be a giant profit on CF for businesses being there is such a lack of gloss black options. I was about to pull the trigger on Maxton everything, but as the first reviews roll in fitment sounds pretty bad. How are there no gloss black options with proper fitment that match the car by 2024? Bummer! Jack@AUTOID take my money and meet this need with good fitment. As Maxton reviews sound bunk you are the current hope we need.

Has anyone installed maxton front splitters? Do you have to drill in new holes? Can you get away with not drilling new holes?

Front Lip

I went with the Unit 17...smaller design with less forward protrusion..
In my mind, less chance of damage...

Will someone please come out with a cheaper non carbon front lip that looks exactly like the Alpha-N G87 M2 Carbon GT Front Lip? I’m dying for a simplistic lip that I can have painted to match and that one would be perfect for me.

I had a very similar looking front splitter on my 330e that was $150 painted gloss black, and this lip is $2,195

Exactly, it’s ridiculous! I get Alpha-N is very high quality but c’mon, this lip should be around $800 at most and around $200 in black. I hate that I can’t find any other company that has put out a front lip that looks like this one, it’s the one I want the most but it is ridiculously overpriced lol.

This is the first one I’ve seen that actually looks like what I want.
Small, doesn’t stick way out and doesn’t hang super low. Looks freakin great. Finally.

I’ll have a shop shoot gloss black on it and clear coat it. Done and done.


EDIT: So I reached out last night to them and they pointed me to the install instructions. This is definitely not a plug n play deal. Lots (all?) of the bolt holes need to be drilled. I did something similar on my 135i, but this is even more drilling.

The instructions for the lip are generic, not car-specific.
