BMW lip spoiler

i have seen this discussed on this forum as well as other ones.

as the rumor states, the BMW 3 series lip spoiler fits well on our vehicles.

has anyone actually taken the time to go to a shop and put one on the trunk to test fit it?

i want to but cant find the time to get to an actual shop....

any takers?????

I have not heard this. If there is a factory made lip spoiler already, why would you want the BMW version?

the m5 lip spoiler fits onto the Second Generation TL, it has been done by Tiggaman on Acurainspired.com if you want, you can ask him questions.

yeah why would you want to try and force the bmw lip spoiler to fit the TL when there is already one available from acura.

several reasons.....

different shape - not like the same lip spoiler ever TL has

cheaper - since its been out for awhile, there isnt a mark up on it.

no BMW envy here, just looking for alternatives that looks good and unique

i have WDP and i was thinking o getting a CF lip spoiler.... feedback???? no flaming please....

i was also thinking of just keeping it black to have the contrast. it hink it owuld look a lot better with the A-spec kit that way because the middle part of the bottom is black.... correct me if im wrong

There's several M3/M5 lip spoilers on eBay for about $30. A carbon fibre one on there is $100. As for paint, these don't come painted anyways so you can just get someone local to match it up.

Dunno,

You could always go to a BMW dealership or custom shop and try it out.

i Agree...i think the C/f or black would look good on the lighter colors..especially if the spoiler is the BMW styl which has more shape than the TL's lip spoiler..i my self would be willin to do it on my SSM n throw some system One C/F rims. i think it would be sick
