Well IND posted another pic of the lip installed on Instagram and what a beauty. Great design and def flows with the M bumper. Trying to pony up to the ridiculous price tag and the custom clear bra job I will need.

I'm not sold.

What I hate about front lips is when they look odd from viewing the car side on.

They tend to sit a lot lower (as this one does) and then the side+rear progressively get higher.

Makes the car look heavily pitched forward.

Beside comestic a the front lip is suppose to have aerodynamics effects. Has to sit lower as it attaches to the front.

Not to concerned with the side view but man the front view is looking pretty good. Interested to see the final product with the RKP.

Hopefully much cheaper. I was on the Akra website and the rear carbon diffuser retail is only 1100. Sure quality is the same or better. Questioning the pricing from RKP

Agree with your comment about the progression of the ground effects. Thats why they really need to create the side pieces and rear diffuser just like the entire X6M to generate the right look.

Yes but then you risk the car looking OTT like a vehicle from Hamman.

Subtle body additions are always more attractive to me.

I hope everyone continues to develop mods for these 2 cars but at the same time I'm going to be broke soon. The 3D design kit looks awesome from all the pictures I've seen. I only wish I could see them in person so it could push me more to just finally pull the trigger already.
