Not sure if I love the splitters that came on the car, I may pull them off and go with the carbon front lip and I'm Still debating if I should go with the carbon fiber engine cover.

Christ, that's a lot of carbon fiber... lol

Unless you're entering your car into car shows, I think the cf engine cover is a bit of a waste. You and your BMW mechanic will be the only ones that know about it.

I'm in agreement with you on the cf front splitters though... I think you'll like the way it looks without them on. If you get the itch for more carbon fiber again you can add a lip in its place.

i was in same debate and left the splitters on in the front.. they are betalink glued and removing them is a pain.. let alone that paint will likely not look factory once they have been removed. Instead when i had the car xpel'ed they make cut out's for splitters so i just had them covered.. also this time around i will enjoy extra clearance in front rather than having a lip like i always had in the past..

Add the body color matching CRT stripe on the splitters. It really makes them pop out more and flows with the design of the car instead of looking like stickered on carbon parts last minute lol.

The splitters were already on the car from the factory I wish they weren't but it sounds like it's too big of a pain in the ass to pull them off I'm not sure if you're joking about the stickers but if not I'd like to see a picture

What I meant was that the Carbon splitters look like a last minute add on to the car with the way they come out the factory. IMO they just don't flow / fit like they were intended to be there. But with a body color matching stripe on them, they look really nice. Take a look below from IND. Not sure how difficult this would be to add since yours are already glued on from the factory.

If I'm not mistaken IND paints those on the splitters.. since OP already has MP splitters, i doubt it make sense to rip them off just to put them back on (remember from factory they are beta linked) so they are not coming off clean by any means.. if he were to go through hassle of taking them off my as well repaint the bumper for the price of splitters and run without them.. I kept my splitters for that reason since they came with the car and were too much of a pain to remove.. prolly going to add center lip piece by Sterckenn to bridge the gap a little

which CF mirror caps are those? M-performance, Akra, or RKP? I can't decide which to get, but I'd like to go with whichever seems to match the stock CF roof best.
