Well, I don't know what the two above guys are saying, but i reccomend you put on a Aspec Lip

Then an aspec Body package, then an TL body, then an Acura 3.2 engine, then an acura interior, then, and acura chasis and wishbone suspension... just my opinion though...

(ok, im kidding round)

Yeh, I suggest giving this guy a warning to stop posting his non-Acura here.
We can't help you.

BTW..Acura Aspec is a whole lot sexier beast.

He said he already got opinions from the Bimmer guys, and is just asking opinions from you guys that's all.

But anyways out of those I'd pick Lip c.

Jeez, you guys need to reach down and pry the panties out of your ass crack. He's just asking an opinion. Thanks DownUnder...at least someone reads the post before answering. He already got other opinions from bimmer guys, and he's looking for an unbiased one. Wow, this is starting to feel like a mustang forum

I can't hate on him for having a car like that at his age. If you got it like that you got it like that.

hehe actually i do need the pins! this isnt my first CF hood! i had an oem style CF hood before un painted...and sure enough because of how the latches are designed on the bmw, the hood shot off and got run over. I even got a ticket for it. Its only 7 lbs!
anyone with a cf hood that plans to go faster than 80 mph should have hood pins, for their safety and the people behind them.

how about a carbon fiber lip??? One with the little adjustable clips on the sides...that would look sick!!

Otherwise...lip a is pretty hot

I would have killed for a sweet ride like that when I turned 17, but it wasn't happening because my family is the regular run-of-the-mill people who work hard and get undercompensated for it. I had a few friends who had their parents buy them their nice cars, but I didn't hate them for it because some people have it better off than others. Just because they drove a nice car doesn't mean they are a bad person It just motivates me more in school now to give my children the same, if not better, chances that I had growing up.

With that...I like lip A and D. I think D flows better with your sideskirts, but A is also nice.

Later.

EDIT: If you put a carbon fiber splitter, like ^ VTEC=Happiness said, under the lip to bridge the big gap on B I think that would look cool too.

To answer your question...

I prefer Lip C...

But having said that... I think your HREs look beautiful... you should keep those...

Best of luck...

Salut
Ciao

What the hell?? Chill out guys.

There are no restrictions on what cars can and can't be posted on this board. If he had a TL, he'd post it in the Gen specific forums. This is exactly what this forum was created for, all cars not CL/TL, etc. So this is exactly where this kind of posts belong.

I posted my own Car (BMW) here within the last month or so.

All people no matter what car they drive are welcome here, so dont go trying to chase away people for no good reason.

Lexie dont mind these asshats, they dont speak for the rest of the board. Welcome, and feel free to post away.

IMO I honestly dont care much for the fenders, or hood, but I do like Lip A. I like the smoother flow of it compared to the others. I am a little biased though.

Welcome...

And to the folks who haven't figured out that Acuras aren't the only cars on the road *and* that Cars & Bikes is part of the "GENERAL AUTOMOTIVE DISCUSSION" area:

thanks for coming to this forum...
even though it's not a bimmer one,
you know we all got good taste here
we don't go by price but what it looks good (and functional sometimes...)

I would go with the black one (Third one)

Anybody is entitled to any car they can afford!

it's not like he has the most expensive car like : Ferrari Enzo, 360 spider , F430,
Vector M-12, or a Lambo Muecielago!


if you can have it, great!



I'm also happy with my TL now.

vtech=happiness- Actually Lip D is CF! And lip C is available in CF...If i got lip c, should i keep it all CF?

Hquakers- Thx for the response

Salut88888- Thx, lol i plan on keeping the HREs, they truly are amazing rims! Thx for the response. Bush owns! lol

Mr Hyde, Mattg, Dan Martin, Acuratljatt559, indoMFP, Eric L, lawaia, Nox 3.2- Based on ur response and comments I can tell u guys are true assets to this forum, I felt much better about this forum after reading your posts

Mr hyde- holy crap, that 540 is OUTa control ! Thx for the response again

MattG- Thank u much for the response! but i dont have a lip right now

Dan MArtin- Thx for the backup man

Smitty- thx for posting, but i dont know what your response means exactly

Acuratljatt559- Thx for response and back up man!

Indmfp- Thx again for the support! and thanx for the opinion!

Eric L- Thx again for the support, you guys are cool as hell!

Lawai- thx for the response! Lip d does resemble both the m3 and m5 bumper! My bumper is actually called a Mtech bumper (resembling but not really an M3 bumper) And that lip kinda finishes the job!

Nox 3.2- Thank u for the warm welcome! What ive realized, is that on the bmw forum, everyone really likes my fenders, but on other forums, they think its ricey and not worthy to be put on a bmw. So from now on id like to know what other people think before i actually go through with stuff. Thx again man!

Ok, so after readign everything:

Lip A- 4 votes
Lip B- None
Lip C- 6 votes
Lip D- 2 votes

All bimmer owners goin with Lip D...ITs CF and resembles the m3 bumper when on my car!

Right now im leaning with Lip C but i dont like the gap in the front it will make, what do u guys think of Lip C in CF?

semi-old thread but,
personally i think your car looks good enough as is... but if you insist on the front lip then my vote goes to A.
btw show pics if you got it done already or when you get it done.
