F80-style aero for G87?

Saw this car on IG and instantly thought this style front splitter/chin spoiler & side skirts would look great on a G87. The available slanted snowplow front splitters just do not look good, imo. I'd buy something like this in a heartbeat.

You would need an entirely new front bumper.

I believe OP is simply referring to the general shape/style of the front lip and side skirts.

I’d also be interested in seeing some aero of this style on the G87. It’s less chunky and more level to the ground Than most of the current offerings.

I know I’ve seen at least one “functional” front lip which has a similar design, but because it’s made for downforce it sticks out really far in front of the bumper, but my imagination suggests it would look killer if there was a shorter version, at the sacrifice of function.

I think the 3D Design stuff is the closest to this style I can find right now.

The ironic (and frustrating) thing is that the least intrusive and aggressive splitters on the market (3D Design and Alpha-N) are nearly double the price of everything else.

Yeah that is annoying for sure.
Honestly, if that lightweight one from EAS spanned the entire width of the bumper, then it could be the best option.
It looks weird to me that it only covers the center most 80% or so.

Yup, yup and yup. I’ve found all of the same problems in my search. Landed on the v1 Street Pro from Maxton, but it’s raw ABS and needs a coat of either gloss black paint or vinyl, and maybe some PPF.

Very puzzled that so many of these lips come so close, yet miss the mark on either price or minimalistic design.

Why doesn’t EAS just do us a solid and extend that lip to the edges?!

Yes this one looks nice, but the prices are outrageous. The EAS one, in addition to not extending the full width of the bumper is also too expensive for what you get.

It's crazy that the MPerformance front splitter for my 3-series was ~$500 & aftermarket copies were about $150. And you could get gloss black, unfinished abs, or cf. All we seem to be able to get for the G87 is over-priced cf.
