Yeah Abboushi, it's "designed" for most BMW's, but its more like a universal application. I got it for free from my uncle so I couldn't say no. He sold his M Coupe before he could put it on. On my SC, It was only experimental at the time and I decided to leave it on because it actually looks pretty cool(in my opinion). Here is another pic SW....

I agree with you Kaotiq, it really doesn't "wrap" around the entire underside of the bumper. This was just an experimental thing that kinda grew on me. It was given to me for free along with the metal tie rods(which I didn't use) by my Uncle who had a BMW. The first pic SC400Texas posted of my car looks ok at that angle, but in the second picture, it looks kinda awkward. To be honest with you guys though, its pretty good having this lip because I've scraped the bottom of it several times even though my car isn't lowered. The underside of my bumper would be pretty jacked without this CF piece. Cheap insurance I guess.

It would be cool if someone made the stock SC400 lip into a CF peice... That would look really nice!

i agree that sc400dude and also agree with kaotiq, i was always afraid of a lowered car getting it's front end scraped up by driveways. a CF piece would be a great backup for cases like that.

and yes thats exactly what i was talking about. thanks for posting it up. even though i found it in a search right after i posted this up

someone should make a piece just like that ! which extends all the way around the front bumper.

hey if it's free... i have no gripes at all. I thought it looked like it came from a BMW.

SUPRAST4R, if you wanna get a CF Splitter custommade for the SC300, i highly suggest you look up CF specialists such as SunnyCo styling, or Team prototype, or even APR. I think APR has a universal splitter and canards if im not mistaken.

TurboSC, It would be pretty cool to have the 92-94 stock lip made of Carbon Fiber. If they made one, I'd get it for my white SC.

Plus, anyone know where I can inquire information on the WiseSport Lip for the 97+ SC's? I saw a couple of threads a while ago but it wasn't clear to me. Where can I buy one and for how much? I heard it was around $500 bucks? If this lip can be had for a reasonable price, I will definetly get rid of my riced out lip I have now
