Finally got around to removing the poor quality ebay fake carbon spoiler. It was heavily oxidised and had very poor fitment.

Removing the glue residue was not fun at all even with goo off. Hand polished with what I had at home but desperately needs a proper machine polish to get rid of all the marring that was left behind. Much cleaner. Before and after below. In true bmw forum fanboy fashion there arnt any fake parts any more =p

Looks much better! I really like those cars.

Sometimes I think about putting eBay carbon fiber front lip and trunk lid spoilers on my E92 but the car looks clean without them, and Wisconsin driveways are often very steep so I’d scrape the hell out of the front lip. Plus my car already gets a little more attention than I’d like and the CF bits would probably add to that.

I think the rear ends look better with out the spoiler, but I also have a nagging need to get one myself. I’m very conflicted. I think I will go with a cheap from lip for now. Satisfy my mod bug and save my bumper from more driveway carnage.

I want your wheels though.

I suggest not getting a cheap lip. Cheap carbon fibre just wears out very quickly and snaps. Mine is a kerscher and it’s held up well over 8+years. These cars have a small front overhang so scraping is very rare if your careful. More likely to scrape the plastic underbelly.

I would suggest the company i use for my sideskirts, that stuff is indistructable. Company is called flow designs.

I agree it looks good in pictures and from a distance. But up close it looked very very cheap.

Yeah I’m that guy that debadges a car for stealth and then gets a vanity number plate.
