UPS came today!... Any guesses on what's in the mangled box? Hint... Drop shipped from Germany.

Tough crowd. lol Ok, so this product line doesn't get much play anymore, but I'm personally a big fan of some of their stuff, if you wade through the decal covered bs... AC SCHNITZER!

I've only seen this lip on the ACS4 cars, which sit too high, and just didn't present well, but IMHO, their front splitter is the cleanest looking option on the market. Below is a quick test fit before I send it off to paint. I'm going to have the ASC logo filled in and the lip painted high gloss black to play off of the black grills and window trim. I think it should feel really good when it's done. Opinions welcomed.

Better pics? Looks weird from this angle

I don't have much else at the moment... Stay tuned, and I'll post completed photos when it comes back from paint.

I think it's going to look awesome. I've got an AC Schnitzer spoiler waiting to get paint and installed too.

another great choice.

I just added the Reiger lip a week ago and love it. both are subtle. The ACS lip is a tad "cleaner", but the Reiger lip is a dead match for the M4 side sills.

gloss black is the right way to go. my lip is gloss black and it plays off the kidneys & window trim perfectly.

i might have to copy your choice of the velgens...

Thanks, brother! I'm still back and forth between these wheels and their VMB5s. So good!

I've been looking at this front spoiler or the one from Reiger. I think I prefer the ACS one but it's hard to tell without seeing better pics of it. Hopefully when you get this installed you can take some pics.

here are a couple pics of the reiger for comparison. i like both!
you can tell the lip is gloss black. car is carbon black.

It looks really good! I was actually entertaining that one too. I was afraid it was a little too sporty for the look I'm going for.

Car looks fantastic!

Looks great! AC used to rule the BMW scene in Europe. Could hardly find a 'tuned' beamer without AC parts on or in it.

They were sort everything in the states back in the day too. It's a shame they've changed their direction so much, but honestly all of the big Bimmer tuners have. Hartge and Hamann aren't exactly keeping up with the scene anymore either. It's a shame, they all make great product.

I missed the opportunity to give credit to TAG Motorsports for taking great care of me! David was my salesman, and made the process seamless, and his pricing was pretty incredible! I try to be loyal to buying from a specific shop, but I've found that all of the things I want aren't available in one place at a competitive price, if at all. The great news is, I've had consistently great experiences with every shop I've done business with thus far. **knocking on wood**

If you're looking for a great shop, don't miss out on these guys! If you stop by this thread, David, thanks again for the great service!

I received the splitter back from paint yesterday, and am digging the outcome. I had the ACS indentation filled in, so there isn't any visible branding, and had it painted in a gloss black. In this shot the splitter is being held in place by books, so it's all I have to offer at the moment. I'm hoping to attach it tonight and will post more photos after it's completed.

FYI: To anyone considering this splitter, it requires adhesives to attach it. eek! The mounting surface is really narrow so I'm not sure that 3M tape would be a suitable substitute. Something to keep in mind.

and on to the pic!

Simply gorgeous. I'm too scared to put a splitter on the front of mine. We tend to have such high curbs and wheel stops here in Oz.

It's so good, brother! I let life get in the way last night, so it's still not mounted. Hoping to install it tonight. The adhesive requires a lot of dring time, and I'm just not excited about not being able to drive it for a day or two.

Thanks! I'm so happy with the way the car is coming together! I think I'm almost done for awhile. I have a tune on the way. I'm going to grab a downpipe, light tint, and do something custom with a set of ///M Performance brakes. I think I'll just enjoy it after that for awhile.

I've bumped into more parking blocks than I care to admit to with my last two cars. My paint guy and I are starting to become friends I think. lol

I find that at stock height and even without the front lip, the bumper is lower than most parking blocks and curbs here in SoCal. Therefore I got nothing to lose by going lower with some coils!

Actually when I park I usually stop so far back away from the blocks and curbs that most of the time I have get back in the car and move it forward more. My kids think I'm nuts.

Looking really good. More pics please.

I hear ya, BMW should really add a curb camera to the surround view

OT: Very clean! Contemplating a lip myself
