My first suggestion is get more specific to "front end lip" as there are a few different ones. Maybe look at RealOem for a part#? Second suggestion is Gault BMW in Endicott,NY. and express shipping if cost is not an issue. Be sure to have part# info. Good luck.

I'm still lost on the "lip kit". There is an upper that has the kidneys in it, I don't imagine that's what you're needing. Next lower part can be Csi or stock, next lower piece on stock is a bottom spoiler, on th Csi it's a rubber lip at the bottom. So, what are you looking for?

is yours too damaged to fix? If not, that would be what I would do- fix yours.

yea mine is done for, to fix it would cost way too much, and i cant do it myself as it would most likely look like crap. when it came off i looked into it and its pretty rough it was being held together with good ol duct tape

Your best bet is to get hold of Steve who has a thread going here for a '91 he is parting out. He's in Quebec and the car is blue. The only thing it's missing is the lower 'sacrificial' spoiler because I bought it. He is fair on prices and I think he'll take care of you. His number is: (514) 448-4662 Too bad you're in such a hurry.... I'd sell you a whole stock lower bumper.

Unless your bumper is worse than mine was, you'll save a bundle by getting it repaired. As you can see mine was broken in three places due to a steep dip in a driveway transition. In repairing it I had them install a stainless steel plate underneath to reinforce the weak areas of the CSI bumper lip. With a CSI bumper you'll have to accept being very cautious approaching steep driveway inclines, speed bumps and normal head in parking stops. Good luck.

For the shop to cut the support plate, repair and paint took them 3 days. I did the money saving removal and installation myself which took up three days time because it was a lfirst time learning process aided by advice from this forum. The stainless support plate was an extra $40.
