Sorry I was unclear, I was talking about where I can purchase the OEM IS lip.

Haha, I used to sell them, along with other Rieger goods through this guy in LA, but no longer do really. I had one, like Feb/March 2003, then was in this minor accident where I got the ass out, and the car hit a curb, killing my lip and my oil pan and what not. Insurance covered me on a new lip again, so that was good I guess.

The second time around, I did some really stupid shit, and was not thinking at all, and lets just say, cracked it pretty bad, but it was EASILY avoidable. That lip is the one that Jordan has on his car right now, after he spent his time fixing it up and what not. And this past summer, I picked up another one, so the second one Ive actually bought, since I also picked up the Rieger side skirts, and as of now, its still on the car, but a slight crack is forming on the right side below the fog, but it is hardly noticeable in some pictures and what not.

So ya, thats my story. I dont recommend it if your car is damn near slammed, its just a PITA IMO. It limits out a lot of entrances and what not you can go into, and just hearing that scraping sound gives me nightmares. Maybe Im kidding about that, but you do regret any time you must hear that noise, since theres like no other way out of a lot or something. But for now, its still on the car, just went to Bimmerfest 2004 this past weekend with it, and had no problems, got a lot of comments on it, asking where to get one, etc, no the crack isnt THAT bad yet. I know it will go this summer most likely, and at that time, I dont know what I will do, but I doubt Ill buy another one, because at about 200, what I get them for, which is pretty low, its quite expensive for a piece of plastic.

I might also experiment with somehow strnghtening the lip. If i come up with anything, i'll be sure to post it.

How much did you pay? I believe TJ used the stock IS lip clips but you might want use some more reinforcement.

[325is_MadBimmer]

$199 no tax, free 2nd day ups shipping...thats a deal IMO

He added some screws ( 2 ) on the sides to reinforce it if I'm not mistaken.

oh god ;) there's almost nothing you can do to make it take more hits, it'll break unless you can make it more flexible

install is easy, rieger supplied me with some bolts and nuts that were burly that I used to bolt the lip to my valance. I'd put it in the stock clips if I had to do it again with maybe 3 bolts just to hold it in tightly... then again, TJs didn't fit correctly with the stock clips, I dunno

[Digitalwave]

I didn't have clips on my car, and the lip doesn't have clips either. I had to line it up to holes in my valance and drill, since the lip didn't have holes either. And my didn't come with hardware, so I used some stainless bits that I had.

[Bryson]

my bad, i figured you drilled little holes in the lip for the clips to hold to judging from what everyone else said
