Aero bumper measurements

ZStig · 01-26-2013, 12:30 PM

Hi could someone please measure the size of the lower opening on this bumper? Including and excluding those blocked parts on each side. Id like to compare to the opening of the M bumper

But no Aero bumper people want M bumpers

I don't hate the M bumper, but I had the aero bumper on my first z4, and it looked much better proportioned from the side profile. The M bumper doesn't protrude far enough on the lower lip, and it looks like a fish with down syndrome

Ya I know. I was kidding. Just looking at it from a aesthetic point of view. That's why I got my mstache 2 lip. I found it made the M bumper look more aggressive

Truth!

edit: the Aero part, not so much the fish part

The overbite look is pretty bad. That's one of the reasons my car got rhinoplasty.

Does anyone sell a pre-cut clear protection film for the Aero Bumper?

Nope, I just got a custom clear bra kit done because there was no template available from Xpel or other major brands.

some users here are putting the clear bra on after paint... how long does it take for the paint to cure? will the installation of the clear bra hurt the curing process?

If the shop oven bakes, should be moot. But I'd still wait 2 weeks of warm weather before slapping it on.
