what the title says. Can someone direct me to a place where I can buy gloss black or if you have one you are sellling? I have been looking for a while now and it's mostly CF's out there. Trim on my car is all gloss black so I just want it to match. Thanks in advance

I looked at IND's website and didn't find the lightweight there. Does it have to be special order?

Yes I don't believe they keep it in regular stock. I know for a fact they've sourced them for folks. I got mine used from someone local for a crazy good deal and talked w Cat about it after the fact.

Just had the same splitter delivered this week. Any insight on the install process would be helpful.

Thanks

This one just sits underneath it, not covering the lower piece of the bumper. Do you have any side view photo with the lip installed?

Look under the bumper there are two factory bolts in the middle - about the width of a license plate if memory serves. Remove them. Use the two long bolts with the spacers to attach the lip using those two first. Then work your way out from center to each end screwing self tapping screws as you go. You should have gotten all the hardware you need.

I used ramps and you will scrape the lip as you come off them but not a big issue. Or you could try and do it with the car on the ground but not sure you'd have enough room.

Lift would be ideal - but then you're taking a trip to someone's shop.

Bimmer_girl If I'm reading your comment correctly, it sounds like you may be after the M-Performance front lip. They can be sourced from numerous places, but typically don't come painted. IND offers them with in the typical matte black, but can also provide them painted; however, it's pretty lofty all said and done. Depending on where you live, it might be worth sourcing one in matte black and having a local shop paint it gloss black for a couple hundred bucks.

Here's a link to the M-Performance front lip on their site: https://ind-distribution.com/product?sku=51192343367
