Ebay splitters

Crackcorn · 03-27-2013, 12:20 PM

I just bought splitters and the famous $59 spoiler (which is now $62 painted and shipped) from the ebay seller emotors. Splitter were around $140 painted/shipped. The spoiler came with the double sided tape attached and the splitters just came with a roll of the same tape to apply yourself. The spoiler only took a week to be in my hands whereas the splitters took approximately 3 weeks. I am quite satisfied with the results and the seller.

I choose to put the spoiler is flush with the trunk's edge instead of a 1/4 inch like oem

I love the look of the splitters. They completely transform the front end.

Next up is the trim wrap. Its dark blue with a cf texture. ( http://www.rvinyl.com/Carbon-Fiber-Vinyl-Film-Blue.htm ) I hit a snag because I don't have any needle nose pliers to get that the wires going to the emergency lights so I am still in the process. Its a tad more difficult than I had anticipated, especially to get the corners right, but it looks great. I can already feel the haters.

Damn , those splitters looks nice , great fit , how easy/hard was the install and any chance of coming off ?
and finally the link plz ?

e92ninja · 03-27-2013, 12:49 PM

does those splitters fit an e92 front end

rattmobbins · 03-27-2013, 01:02 PM

Damn those splitters look way better than I would have expected. Are they made of polyurethane? Or are they cheapo fiberglass?

chilled_fire · 03-27-2013, 01:10 PM

^^^ found one on ebay says "09 10 11 12 BMW 3-SERIES E90 SEDAN REAL CARBON FIBER FRONT SPLITTER"

edit : I am only looking at CF splitters

Crackcorn · 03-27-2013, 01:13 PM

The material is listed as ABS...I have no clue what that actually means. They seemed a little flimsier than I had imagined. I have very minimal experience with body parts and I was able to do it. Only problem I had was getting the inside corners to stay stuck on. The rest of it fits great. There is a small gap because of the width of the tape but unless you're super anal about it, it shouldn't be a bother. I put a little super glue on the inside where it wasn't staying flush with the bumper and propped it up with some phone books until it was dry and now I have no doubt it stuck on there for good.

Here's the link:

Only fits e90 LCI but I am sure there is some facsimile for the e92.

chilled_fire · 03-27-2013, 01:16 PM

Thanks !

ABS is thermoplastic

I am planning to order the CF spltters, for $99 i guess its worth the risk

benzo23 · 03-27-2013, 01:25 PM

Looks nice man keep up the good work.

Blindside_137 · 03-27-2013, 01:26 PM

looks great,

but blue carbon trim on cream beige interior??? yikes

P Casey · 03-27-2013, 01:35 PM

Looks cheap, but if you like it that's what counts.

Alen E90 · 03-27-2013, 02:10 PM

both the splitters and the lip look GREAT!

just4kickz · 03-27-2013, 02:51 PM

nice!

DC_Oldboy · 03-27-2013, 03:18 PM

Looks really good! Except the tinted taillight lol.

TitanLH8 · 03-27-2013, 06:25 PM

ABS > FRP... my first set of splitters were FRP and were crap compared to my second set of ABS splitters. One suggestion would be to have a protective coat as the splitters chip easily (reason why I'm on the second set, first set had a lot of rock chips after 6 months)

JMD415 · 03-27-2013, 07:45 PM

Looks like a great fit!

johnnyboi418 · 03-28-2013, 02:25 AM

cool good fitt...

Suntzu · 03-28-2013, 02:45 AM

I just ordered the same set. M3 style spoiler and splitters for my 330i I just picked up.

My front bar is different to yours. Hope my splitters are ok. I have a non-sport 330i 2005 e90.

I hope it wasn't the exact same set because they are only meant to fit LCI.

Heres is the painted non-lci version from the same seller:
