Inspired by jord1016's lip spoiler project. I am doing a similar project with an ebay polyurethane lip spoiler. Lot's more to go, but I thought I'd post these teasers.

The idea, of course is to make it look like a one-piece bumper. I'm using Fusor 143 for the filler, and it's working very well. Thanks to Nightkrawler for the parts.

Make me an offer, it's already packaged sitting in my garage. Shipping is a lot because of it's length though I think, if anyone is relatively close I could meet halfway, if not I could get another quote.

Mine's a pre-'01 like Jord's.

. . . however, the lip spoiler is the ebay 01-03 bumper modified to fit the old stye fogs.

sorry to hijack thread, but would it be possible to fill in the middle of the lip with filler so that the two sides don't look like splitters, but rather a continuous lip?

You have the same idea as I have, I think the splitter look is good for the modded bimmers but I personally think it looks kindda odd w/ non-modded bimmers, like my 528i.

I like the look of 01-03 stock non-M bumper, since it has little built-in lip already, when compared to 97-00 stock non-M bumper.

I've been trying to get a hold of 01-03 titanium silver front bumper but no luck yet, but got the 01-03 front bumper (somewhat trashed) from the local member, I might just cut out the bottom portion of it and try to custom fit on my front bumper to see how it would look :)
Oh well, it's worth to try before toss it into the trash can right? :)

Hahaha, didn't see your post 'til today, which is 2 months & half later.
Sorry meng, didn't mean to say in bad way. :)

I knew the condition of the bumper since you've already mentioned it to me :)
Plus, can't complaint, since it was a darn free bumper!:buttrock

I think I'm going to work it out to do something with it.
Will keep you updated if you are interested :buttrock

I could meet you at the CT/NY border for 100, let me know if that works.
