I like the Rieger front lip but came across the same spoiler lip with a splitter on it. I like it but really would like to see what it looks like installed.

Does anybody have one of these installed on their car?
I'm having a hard time deciding between the above vs. the M5 silver lip.
Thank you

Boone,
Thats a different kind of splitter than the one I was looking at, but I like it! Only thing is, If I went that style I would probably go with the ones that have the brake ducts.
I will be going with the M5 lip and I'm on my way to buy the paint.
Thanks

I made one out of plexiglass, which is a racer's trick (because its cheap, durable, and light). If I break it I'm only out $40.

Thanks for the samples. I went ahead and bought the lip without the splitter. I can still add the splitter afterwards but I want to check the front clearance first. I'm worried about the bottom getting torn off if I add the splitter, but it looks great. I may go for it in the end.

Since my car has been posted twice already, I won't post more.

Yes its low, but the splitter only adds a 1/4 inch. But it sticks forward pretty far. I have scraped it countless times, no cracks.

I actually think the splitter alone fabbed into the factoy lip would look great...and not too low for a daily.:D
Maybe someone can Photo-chop it ??

Anyone that can get you the lip can get you the splitter. For some reason most places don't put it on their website.

Heres mine with the 540 lip with the ducts.
Stay stock if you can. They knew what they were doing.

The splitter is like $50 where I posted the url at the begining of this thread. The brake ducts look great too.
Unfortunately, when I got my car the left brake duct was torn off from a prior mishap.
I went with the lower lip because the shipping was almost $200 for the M5 front lip. The company is in Ca., but I have crews all over the country and we're scheduled to do some jobs in Ca. within the next 30-60 days, so I plan to get the M5 front & back so I can have it brought back and sidestep the shipping.
I'll list the lip here afterwards if anyone is interested.

The one on E-Bay is made of fibreglass whereas the genuine Rieger is made of a high quality ABS plastic which is more durable.

Mel, I was looking at Schmeidmann's website, this picture is associated with the

Frontspoiler-sword carbon look for Rieger Frontspoiler M5 E39 look 53010+53011

The splitter for the "regular" Rieger lip is 53013 and is not carbon look. I also notice that Schmeidmann doesn't have them in stock right now. How long will it take to get one? (I'm finally painting my skirts/bumpers this summer and figure since these parts are so cheap, i'm going to replace them.)

The correct Splitter is 53013 and is not pictured.
It is made of ABS Plastic and matches the 53012 Spoiler Lip that we sell.
It shows no stock but we can get them in as soon as a week.
We intend getting them at the end of May to come with our stock order to save shipping costs from Europe.
