Bimmette’s DIY Aero Lip Install VIDEO

dx1541 · 06-09-2014, 08:48 AM

Can't complain bout the fitment for a 70 bucks lip but best thing was you didn't give up on the lip just like that from day 1 . Gonna give you a big

up for the big attempt doing it yourself!

You should have put some double sided tape on the edges of the bumper so it can hug where the lip meets with the wheel well a little better. See in the pic below this is where I put my tape...

And there is no gap at the wheel well.

Props to you for doing it yourself though

... Next time put some cardboard on the ground so you don't lay on dirt

I thought I had the tape in the right places

okay I've been modding bmws since 2004 and I never knew bout the windex 3m trick and laying it out in the sun trick..

but congrats, my aero lip was one of my favorite mods, I personally prefer it to the mtech although I know I'm the minority

I like the video but when you put it on the ground like that it made me cringe! Always put it on the grass or a rug or something. Also depending on how low you are my buddies paint always end up getting beat up on from rocks etc.

That lip makes a huge difference, makes the car look a lot younger

Yeah, I thought about that but I know damn well I'm going to thrash that lip. Meh, that's why I spent $70 only! Haha!

Haha! Unfortunately the plate is fake. I use it for vids. That vanity plate is already taken locally actually!

This Windex trick... Had never heard of it til now. So it doesn't degrade the double stick tape at all, spraying it on? Where have you read about it? I'd be worried about degrading the stickiness, especially if it might mean the lip might come off (read the horror story of E93Mac's lip coming off and getting trashed).
