A little sneak peek..

So I found a nice lip that I could add to my front bumper, and was very fond of the way it looked. I bought the eBay replica since it was extremely cheaper and is going to get scratched to shit. I had to do some cutting, which came out pretty mediocre, and the fitment was less than acceptable. With some zip ties and stuff it might be possible to look good, but just 3m tape will not do the job.



I've been rocking the ghetto ass front end look for a few weeks now, just dealing with it, because that lip looked so bad installed, that it didn't even make me want to take the lip off, rather just buy a new bumper and grin from cheek to cheek. So it was finally delivered, and prep work now begins.

yea before I got my e90 I actually liked that lip (but that was many many years ago when the e90 first was announced) but I had a chance to buy one locally for very cheap and after looking at pics, I realized why he was selling to cheap lol.

m3 rep is gonna look better. not a big fan of that bumper as much as mtech (unless the whole front end is done, but then u need the rear quarters to match lol) but its def better than stock or with that lip

To me, mtech looks too similar to the stock bumper. Before I knew what an mtech bumper was, I just looked at one as if it were mine.
