So I'm driving along ......

ToadHollow · 01-06-2009, 08:32 PM

and someone decides to make a uturn in front of me.

By the way, I was known as Mnkybiznes within these forums as some of you may recall

The only pic I have is of my E92 awaiting the insurance appraiser. However, there is always a silver lining to ....... well ......... some things.

I'm thinking that a cosmetic change (other than what you see in the picture) might be due.

I've had the M Aero lip installed nearly from the beginning of ownership and am wondering if a Vorsteiner lip or HM lip might be a nice change of pace. The hood is being replaced with a carbon fiber M3 piece. The car is lowered some and so I'm wondering if a front lip might look better. The hood as well as whatever the front end gets will be painted to match the car .......

Opinions and PICS of front lip installs are welcome and appreciated. Any other brands are welcome as well .....

Damn! Expensive wreck for you ..... Thought about mtec as well. Not sure the look is aggressive enough for me though.

nebz · 01-06-2009, 09:55 PM

if my car was llike another color like white, red mtech would look aggressive!

NinetyEight740 · 01-06-2009, 09:59 PM

that sux!!! but yea now is the time to make a change lol

ToadHollow · 01-06-2009, 10:04 PM

Not sure whose car this is (forum member here) but, I really like how the HM lip gives it IMO a more aggressive look than the OEM spoiler ...

This car also has the same hood I am planning on installing

damn wtf

Mahhvinn · 01-07-2009, 12:00 AM

sorry to hear about your car.

i think that you should go with the HM Lip. I'm a fan of it. Gives the car a nice aggressive look.
