Also if these are sold by the same vendor don't pay 200 for them I got them for 135 with an offer

I will be out to the storage place in about a week to clean the cars and hook up battery chargers if I have time I'll bring the pieces with me and test fit them

I saw these and was interested too. I just wish it also covered the bottom of the bumper to protect from curbing on driveways

It must be a different seller then, I offered 125 they countered with 175 and I countered again with 135 and noted that the shipping was high and for after market carbon fibre mods I didn't want to go any higher and they took 135

Must be...the $199 is a US seller and offer free shipping

I notice some lower priced but have high shopping cost and they're from china

I ordered some and will post some pics in a few days when they arrive. They are firm on pricing but ship fast. Lets see how this experiment goes. I'd imagine these have been imported from China and the cost is the pricing plus whatever the seller paid to ship them to California.

All right ladies and gentlemen here are few pictures of the discussed CF splitters.

Note: I have not permanently mounted the CF splitters yet but simply added a few strips of 3M automotive acrylic tape to keep it in place for this "shoot".

First impressions: 1) The overall look is good and does change up the front of the car, 2) the CF has a nice shine to match the BMW performance CF mirrors and CF rear spoiler. 3) the overall fit is about 90% accurate with a few minor gaps that can easily be hid with black automotive decals, 4) very easy to install as they essentially fit over the bottom portion of the bumper, and 5) there is no 3M automotive tape supplied so you may want to purchase before ordering.

Overall I give this product an 8/10. Is it worth a $199 .......probably not. If the price point was $120/set then yes. Enjoy
