Keep it black for a subtle look. It might look like some massive body kit if you paint it red. Maybe somebody on here will photoshop it for you. anyways, nice find. where'd you get it? | | | 09-02-2007, 04:07 AM | #3 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Your ti's coming along really well. I love the wheels and the lip looks great. I'm getting a Reiger Cup Lip pretty soon. Keep up the good work. BTW, the second pic looks like an '08 Calendar candidate to me __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 09-02-2007, 04:52 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | Didn't last long, with the roads in NY. __________________ 1998 (July) 318ti, 5-spd OEM Armrest Blaupunkt Heidelberg CD50 CD Player/Compact Drive MP3 Player Diamond Audio 5.25" rear speakers Navman ICN 530 GPS BMWALARM.COM (with comfort settings) after market alarm system Magnecor 8.5mm wires M-Z3 Shifter/Momo Knob Burlwood Dashboard Stromung Exhaust X-brace Racing Dynamics Front Strut Bar Carbonio C.A.I. 17" Rial Rims Vader Seats/Heated/Lumbar Support M-tech Steering Wheel/Front Sway Bar/Front & Rear Bumper Depos/w 6500K Angel Eyes/6000K HIDs Clear Corners M3 Mirrors UUC Light Weight Flywheel/M5 Clutch/M3 Clutch Slave E28 3.46 LSD/Mcoupe Cover/E30 Flanges & Halfshafts UUC S.S.

And the Hamann spoiler is the one that looks like the Reiger without the center support, right? __________________ -Kenny | | | 09-02-2007, 10:16 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 | yeah where did u get that lip? and how much did u spend on it? | | | 09-02-2007, 03:57 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | thanks for the compliments guys! it doesn't fit seem to fit as snug as yours L8, ill definitly have to play with it a little more. i got the lip from namotorsports, it cost me about $160US or so before tax and shipping, but since im in canada, after exchange rates and border fee's it was like $300 CAD... ive been whacking it on everything, thank god for ABS plastic, which is another reason im apprehensive about painting it cause its just gonna get scarred up anyways and the paint my stiffen the lip up making it more suseptable(sp?) to cracking. and yes, the hamann spoiler is similar to the rieger without the center support. and cooljess, thanks man! as for calendar 08 candidate, im gonna get my spoiler on, wetsand it and shine it up real nice and revisit that spot for my calendar entry __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 09-05-2007, 06:49 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Fort Worth, TX Posts: 234 | i say paint it. in a past life i had the Rieger Cupspoiler lip and i painted it to match the car. i left the splitter black though. the lip cracking due to painting will not happen. just make sure you use a flexible primer and paint. i could literally twist the lip without it cracking. since you just have the Infinity lip... scraping will be a BIA when its painted. __________________ | | | 09-05-2007, 07:10 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Thousand Oaks, California Posts: 343 | how much was it and whered you get it i want one for my 325 __________________ 1993 325is Hellrot Tribute to: 97 318ti Montreal Blue R.I.P 96 318ti Schwartz II | | | 09-08-2007, 05:23 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | namotorsports.net $160+ shipping i believe __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 09-12-2007, 08:45 PM | #11 | Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: The Woodlands, TX Posts: 68 | Where did you get the rear one? __________________ 1988 M3 Track rat - 1989 325iC - 1998 318ti | | | 09-12-2007, 11:15 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | the rear one???? the Hamann spoiler you mean? if so, i got it from BavAuto for about $300US... but that was on clearance, since it normally retails for $569US (IIRC) __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 09-12-2007, 11:45 PM | #13 | Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: The Woodlands, TX Posts: 68 | Quote: Originally Posted by rwd_king the rear one???? the Hamann spoiler you mean? if so, i got it from BavAuto for about $300US... but that was on clearance, since it normally retails for $569US (IIRC) | Yes, that's the one I was talking about.
