Source for Good Quality Front Aero Lip

Since there hasn't been a thread for these in the past year or so and I know these things are really hit or miss, I made a new thread. Where can I get a good quality aero lip for my 335i pre-lci?

I know eBay but if you've bought from eBay lately and actually received a good one, please post the seller's name! Or if there's a store that sells good replica ones please let me know!

I've looked at mo d barg ains and Tischer and some other sites but I'd like to not spend $300 on one before getting it painted.

Or if someone has a used one for Jet Black that fits well, PM me.

Let me know what my options are! Thanks

Get it off eBay, buyer protection will cover you if the fitment sucks. It's all the same stuff coming out of the same factories anyway. A lot of people were happy with the ones sold on eBay by "baysonr."

I've read that name quite a bit while searching but i've read that sometimes the paint doesn't stick well to the urethane bumpers from eBay.

Also that bimmette just had a thread about how hers didn't really fit at all

Yes, I don't recommend BaysonR!! In the end, it went on, but fitment is still bad.

My fitment was perfect from Ebay. But as mentioned above, the paint did not adhere properly due to the greasy poly material. Ended up wasting $250 anyway. So my suggestion would be to just buy the 1 that is known to fit and work.

Yeah I may just get an OEM one or one from one of the vendors who guarantee fit like JG mods or someone

You'd be getting the same product from the vendor that you'd be getting on eBay. Buy it off eBay, have it prepped and painted locally by someone reputable.

Yeah, my thinking though is that buying from a vendor with a fitment guarantee means I can simply return it if its not to my liking whereas buying from eBay means I'd have to deal with all the hassles of that if I didn't like it
