▀▄ eas | Lightweight Performance Front Splitter

tom @ eas · 02-12-2024, 06:24 PM

With the success of the G8X M3/M4 Lightweight Front Splitter, the G87 M2 now gets the same treatment.

Reminiscent to the limited-edition E9X CRT M3, the Lightweight Front Spoiler has been developed specifically for optimizing the aerodynamic balance of the G87 M2. The front spoiler enhances the driving dynamics of the vehicle and provides a high-tech, sporty look.

No frills, no flashy carbon. This is all business and ready for the street or the track. Nearly indestructible. Comes with a beautifully designed gloss black finish.

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), CNC milled
Almost indestructible
Clears most Skid Plates
Mounted on original breakpoints
High-strength material PE
LIGHTWEIGHT lettering two-colored decal included
Black Gloss finish, no painting necessary
Includes installation instructions & mounting hardware
TüV approval in preparation

Lightweight lip installed on Matte Zandvoort Blue M2, also clears aluminum skid pucks and Mishimoto Skid Plate with an overall OEM+ appearance.

Looks good. Is there any drilling or cutting necessary to install this?

I'll do you one better, not even double-sided tape is needed. 100% bolt on.

Looks like for us EU drivers, you need to cut the rubber lip spoiler to make it fit. Since the US G87s don't have this lip, can I just mount it without cutting, by just leaving the rubber lip off?

From what we've seen here - the rubber lip doesn't come into contact with the splitter. But it is transferred over if you use the Mishimoto skid plate.

I like this one - very nice, subdued.

Newgenbimmer · 03-04-2024, 01:11 PM

Received today ! I am looking forward to installation.

Agree. Total "less is more" approach.

The side view photo of the ZV blue is perfect. By chance do you know the suspension upgrade on this G87? Love the front lip too.

This M2 is running the VTF Height Adjustable Spring Kit.

J-RO · 03-14-2024, 05:10 PM

If they made one for the G42 I might consider it.

adale3g · 05-18-2024, 11:24 AM

Is this available in Europe? Looks perfect, subtle but adds to the front end!

jay1k2 · 05-18-2024, 01:10 PM

Any plans of making one that extends all the way across the bumper?

THIS ^^

It seems there’s no middle ground when it comes to splitters. You either get this center thing or you get the full freakin’ snow plow ones.

On my 135i I had a nice full-width CF one that was super thin and didn’t hang down. Oh, and it was like $350.

Amazing the G87 has been out this long and basically all the lips are huge and low. W T H

800 for a black piece of plastic lol. Carbon fiber I can understand but that seems steep.

Agreed. $100-150, and I'd consider it. The designs available so far are interesting in that they're either this or pretty large and hanging down low. Doesn't make a lot of sense. AutoID was supposed to have gloss black versions of the TRE (I believe) splitter & side skirts back in March, but not a peep since. Oh well.

The most subtle and nicest looking CF splitters I've seen are the Alpha N or 3D design, but they're also the most expensive options, too.

Yeah, the price is what ultimately made me say no. Their price is, like you said, a CF price - not plastic. $300-350, more realistic.

Same here, didn't want CF, and certainly not the exaggerated designs available, but at this price for plastic? Mine will stay naked for the duration.

Update again - sorry for the confusion, I am normally not this flighty. LOL I FINALLY figured out how to install the Maxton splitter. Since this is EAS thread, I won't get into here. But I got it installed.

Maxton Design has a pretty subdued front lip. It's the pro one I got.
(Ships June - it's out of stock at the moment.) It's made to be more resistant to impacts, rocks, etc... thicker than their standard front lip, and it goes all of the way across the front.

It's a matte finish, but I'm gonna wrap it in gloss PPF so it matched the rest of the pieces (can be painted, too). $270.
