Results may vary.

Anytime I mod a car, I always keep the OEM parts I pull off. I'm not giving the parts away to the next owner. And you'll really lose your ass on them if you sell them with the car. People like to play the "If you mod a car, it's actually worth less" game. The right way to play the game is mod the car, enjoy it, put it back to stock and sell it.

Side note, I'm about to pull the trigger on a CSL boot and diffuser from Status Gruppe. My buddy and I are authorized retailers. Thinking about the one piece lip too. Can't decide.

+1 for lip.

Get it all.

Unfortunately some people, like me, don't have space to keep OEM parts.

I usually break the OEM parts and THEN upgrade..., that's how it works right?

I'm just hoping it doesn't look too bro-ish.

When you've got enough money in mods to purchase another E46 M3, you'll find room to keep the spare parts. Lol

Dude it'll be functional. Aren't they really for downforce, or something? I think I read that somewhere.

I don't know if a lip held on my 3M tape would be very good for downforce.

Dude just buy one in 2 years they'll be cheaper anyway, plus leases will be coming to a close.

Trust me, I'm in no hurry. I'm patiently waiting for a number of cars to drop in price before I buy.
