Hi
Is there any front lips in gloss black available to the g87? I am looking for a liv without the vertical «wings» on the sides. I would perfer a more subtle look, and not a big lip. |

There are not many options in gloss black aside from Maxton and eBay…
I went with Maxton V.2

I have just purchased (today) the Aeroflow Dynamics unit. I hope it's as good as it looks (for the price) in the photos some of you have posted.

I did their Street pro front lip. It's matte black, can be painted (thinking about getting it painted gloss black in the spring.) It's made of a material meant to take a beating/scraping. I am guessing it can be sanded. It looks real nice (I have posts on here with pics.) Their V1-V4 front lips do not have winglets. Neither does the Street Pro V1 (https://maxtondesignusa.net/collecti...v-1-bmw-m2-g87) I also did the V2 side skirts, 3D spoiler cap and the V1 Valance/diffuser with V3 rear side splitters specifically for that valance. Some folks say their stuff is cheap/thin but I totally disagree. I find their parts to be good quality ABS & pretty dang rigid - at least as good as OEM ABS. The gloss black finish is really nice too & works perfectly with BSM.

Imo, the Aeroflow Dynamics is really the only option. I ordered and received Maxton pieces & they were garbage. So bad that I paid $300 to return them.
I did have an issue with the first Aeroflow splitter I received with the center section having a noticeable bend. I contacted them & they sent me a new splitter free of charge. Definitely better quality than Maxton and cheaper. |

Here are some pics. Let me know if you want to see anything more clearly and I'll snap some for you. I know the lip is tough to see here.

EDIT: I missed that you addressed my question in your first post. Perhaps Maxton has inconsistent QC or maybe JABCAT was just very unlucky. Can anyone else running Maxton comment on quality, fit and finish? |

Yeah, it be great to get a few pics of the front lip. Btw, if your suspension is OEM, what’s your front vertical clearance? |

I am on the port-installed M Performance HAS kit. Love it. Perfect height, not so low you scrape the lip. It does scrape the air flow director thingies under the car by the front wheels. I just cut about an inch off of them with a Dremel - no more embarrassing scraping sounds. LOL Fromt lip is 5" off the ground.

I received my front lip from Aeroflow Dynamics today. Quality looks good and everything fits together nicely.
I must however re-interate the comments made by others that you will need to remove the supplied double-sided tape that comes fitted to the parts. For some reason the tape is being placed close to (and in some place over) the visible part of the lip which means you would see it when fitted. I am actually going to test fit my lip with no double-sided attached, using just the two rows of self tapping screws that are supplied. I think this will be sufficient to hold the lip firmly in place, but will make replacing any damaged parts a breeze in the future. |

Yep, fair call. Maybe one row of 3M VHB right near the front edge. |
