front Splitter

eljefe87 · 02-16-2013, 08:52 PM

Here is a picture of my front splitter. After lots of opinions from close friends and other guys that work on bmw's I decided not to paint it. I might get it clear bra'ed to have the glossy look but I am still not too sure. I was initially going to paint it but almost everyone said they liked it matte black.

This was the first pic after install. I was going to take more pics of the rear spoiler and stainless pedals after a nice detail. But just my luck after I got it washed it rained on my way home and the car got dirty.

oh no my picture is not uploading. well once i figure out how to upload i will post it

thanks for the pic your car looks nice. I am just scared since the guy that did my clear bra said the inner portions would be a bit though to wrap. Were they able to wrap close to perfect in the inner splitter?

It looks good and pretty close to perfect I'd say.

I can't imagine anyone getting that lip WITHOUT lowering.

I initially wanted to use tape on mine and i was told it wasn't a good idea. The guy that installed mine used the beta link.

How much lower is the front end with the splitter installed?

Thanks!

schnell13 · 02-17-2013, 04:11 PM

Looks awesome!! Now, if it only came in CF...

schnell13 · 02-17-2013, 04:13 PM

Also, what is the process for changing a file's size? Do you need something like photoshop for that?

I have a macbook and if I open a picture I have an option under tools to adjust size.
