I did the matte splitter as well but didn't love it with the bsm so I took it off. If I buy another it will be carbon fiber.

I think the BSM looks more aggressive without the lip anyways. I do like the lip in Alpine White.

Nice, you guys going full CF will have to post pics once you get the installs done. I'll post pics of mine tonight, but essentially it looks identical BryanF30's car! I have the CF M3 style mirror caps on mine though. I actually dig the matte finish on the splitter, facing front it looks nice and aggressive, but to each their own! The CF will definitely look bad ass I'd just be afraid of scraping it up. But after 2 months now I think I've barely scraped the bottom of my splitter...

Still got your lip laying around? Haha I personally like the matte look so I don't mind taking it off your hands

the mperformance spoilers irks me. i want a lip spoiler to look like an extension of the trunk but due to the shape it very obviously sticks on top of the trunk lid. with how there's a contour line in the trunk just underneath it. i prefer the look without it.

Yes I know exactly what you mean. Which is why I am questioning it haha. It was only $86 though.

I think if you have the diffuser as well, it'll match better since the rear end would be "louder" so to speak. With the original M sport diffusers think it's better to go without it and have cleaner lines.

I will say in person its much more subtle. The camera captures some glare that makes the seem more pronounced against the trunk. In person, it's almost not noticeable except for the fact that I know I just installed it lol. It also looks like it sticks out a lot from a the lower and side angles but looking straight in it only sits about a half an inch higher. Going to leave it on for a while since it will be easy to take off if I so choose.
