the first one was the one I was woundering about. and I know the second one is fiberglass, and I know you guys think that is bad.. I dont think it is all that bad. its a front lip, and im probably gonna scrape it on something, so I dont see why I would want it to be that expensive...

lol, it's a front lip and you're gonna scrape it on stuff.. that's exactly why you don't want it to be fiberglass. fiberglass will crack, ABS plastic will just take the abuse leaving un-noticeable scratches on the bottom of it if anything..
i like the first one... i was thinking about it before but i'm getting an m3 bumper pretty soon so oh well

Yeah, I will think twice when they are made of figer glass. Also, that lip is a 50-50 aethetically speaking. Some people like it some don't. I'd better stay away such controversial stuffs and concentrate the money on performance mods or maintenance.

see my sig...i have the first one...(the floormats are sitting in the garage cause they dont fit!!)...the lip took some modifying to fit, i had to dremel out around the fog light areas and the corners where it wraps around to the wheelwells...the damn thing is attached with 6 screws right into my bumper cause there was no where else to attach it...only reason i got it was to "learn" how to drive with a big airdam before i buy a rep m3 nose with carbon splitter...

The first one I give a "meh"; the center has a sort of wannabe E46 thing happenin.
I totally dig the second one, but ewww, glass? That would not work well with my driveways.
But hell, either one of them at $140 is half way to the cost of a ME3/sport front bumper...

I was actually planning on buying the second one.. but fiberglass does suck!
Once I find the ABS plastic one, then I'll jump on it.

2nd=polyurithane
and thanks for the pic, I think I might just go for that, it looks better then I expected.

I personally prefer the upper headlight lid. They look better and makes the E36 standout from an E46.

that is way more then I want to spend on a small peice of plastic that I stick on the bottom of my front bumper!! I might as well buy a whole new bumper for that!!! Does don sell reiger bumpers too???
what do you guys think though in terms of looks:
new bumper
or
reiger lip??

Im not sure I want to get an M3 bumper, because everyone and their mom has them. It doesnt look like I have much options though because an m3 bumper will probably look better then a lip, and other then an M3 bumper, everything looks like crap, or is really expensive, or is made out of fiberglass
im not seeing that M3 bumper on ebay. I see one that is polyurithane for $220, plus $120 shipping.

yea, went to your site and looked at the price... I just cant afford that right now. (not sure if I would ever want to spend that much on a bumper). But I was woundering with the reiger lip group buy that is going on right now if those would fit on my 325i

I have the second one and I like the fact that it is fiberglass because it is easy to repair when you do fudge it up but I don't hit it many places and my car is lowered. I like the way it looks, it fits well and can be removed without affecting the bumper. I only screwed mine up because I was =doing some offroading with my 325...:)
