Looks good! I have been torn on whether or not to get one of these ever since I got my car.... Still not sure.. haha. May I will just do it, only $60 and can always remove it...

Did you need to give special instructions on size? Or the 1170mm is standard?

If you buy through the link I posted, that seller sells our lips at 1170mm. He said that this is his standard length as other members here have bought and confirmed this size to be a perfect fit. Gonna install mine when I get home.

Yep, when I e-mailed the seller, they told me their standard length for the G sedan is 1170, and it really is spot on once you contour it to the trunk. Easiest way to install is peel back about 5-6" of the tape backing, lay it down on the trunk, and peel a few inches at a time so you can shape it without the whole thing getting stuck to the trunk.

As far as shipping, it really wasn't bad at all. It took around two weeks from the time I placed the order until I received it, and that included their time to paint it the correct color.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

Welcome to the M3 replica rear lip club!!!

I love mine and have had it for a year and a half. I think mine came out of Taiwan and the paint match on my LS is dead on. It literally looks like it was painted the same time as the car it matches that well.

Great install tip BTW. I like the peel a little at a time philosophy.

Ordered mine a couple days ago. The estimated arrival date is between 6/21-7/05. Is it me or does that sound plain ridiculous? I'm in no hurry but damn one month for a lip?

^Same here. Said a few weeks, got it in less than 2. Keep in mind it is coming from tawain though so it may get slowed by customs, & they do have to paint it to match.
