    Rieger front lip?

    Where are you guys getting them at? I've searched but most of the threads was 1-2 years old. I seen them on ebay but they are the ones that are made from paper thin fiber glass.

    I think Abes has the ABS plastic one.

      I keep forgetting about them. I just checked and they do have them. Now my next question is, Does the splitter that M3 Ryan makes for the IS lip fit this lip or do i have to buy the one off of Abe's too?

        Im not too sure, the last I had read about it was in a splitter group buy and i beleive the answer was yes, but Im not so sure, they look slightly different.

          Nobody wants the real Rieger , they are overpriced and way to prone to shattering .

          Get them ebay but only from Filip @ Eurostyle .
          He is a e30 supported and makes the best quality reoplicas , also the first to make these .

          His new fiberglass is very flexible also .

            I thought this was the other way around, because the replicas are generally cheap fiberglass that is prone to shattering. While the real ones are abs plastic(same as OEM iS lip) and are much more durable as abs plastic has a lot of flex in it. I know my iS lip has stood up to its fair share of beatings.

                haha, well alright then. I've just never seen shattered ABS before, in the way that fiberglass does.

                  I have to defend the shitty replicas.... having one myself, it lasted a LOT of abuse before cracking (again). I originally got mine in 3 pieces and patched it up myself... and it holds great.

                    The Rieger is not a nice soft pliable ABS like the OE lips .
                    Its really brittle shatter/splinter prone hard plastic .

                    About the eBay replicas , I would stay away from all the ones being offered for sale out in Socal like from decalsking and eurostop or whoever .
                    Those are pretty much crap .

                    Buy the ones from Felip in Canada , his eBay username is Eurostyle ....I'll get it and post his store on here for others .

                    His fiberglass is a composite that is really flexible , you can twist and turn it in ways the real Rieger and lesser FG pieces could only dream of .
                    Sure it will crack if taking a direct hit , it does have its giving point but it surely a lot more forgiving than the others .

                      Here is Filips eBay sellers page :
                      eurostyledesign

                      He does not have the Riegers listed right now .
                      I would just email him and tell him what you need .
                      For those that don't know , Felip also offers the M-tech-II replica rear valnce , just the valance itself so you can add it under your current late or early bumper .
                      Also offers replicas of the M-tech-II side skirt/rocker covers for use by themselves , no need for the body cladding .
                      This is what Qimis is running on his car .

                      definitely worth shooting an e-mail to .
                      He's a nice guy with a great product at a really good price .

                          I have both of these - great product, very flexible, light, and fits perfectly. the rear valance just snaps on.. all you have to do is block it flat, seal it, and paint.

                          the real rieger lips are extremely fragile - i wouldn't be surprised if the eurostyle version was stronger (in addition to being cheaper).

                          expect a 4-5 week wait to get your stuff once you've paid.

                          here's what mine look like:

                            So what about the splitter for one? Is it the same as a "is"? I looked through the GB's and didn't see the anwser for it when it was brought up if they was the same.

                              Splitter is different .

                              Its not really that hard to make though once you have the right material .
