Front Lip + Diffuser Recommendation Needed for M-Sport

I am considering an idea of installing a replica front lip + rear diffuser on my M-sport bumpers and wonder if folks can recommend some good options that would fit in an all-in budget of $750.

I like M Performance, but don't want to pay OEM prices as I drive in Minnesota winters and sometimes have to go through deeper snow, especially at the end of my driveway that I am sure can do some damage.

I don't care if it's carbon or painted black, as long as it fits well.

search is your friend. Many threads on this. To sum it up, you’re rolling the dice with replicas.

RW Carbon is a good option in Southern California. I would recommend drilling and a bracket or some type of support in the front center. The diffuser takes some patience but it works.

I would not install a replica front splitter. There are a lot of aerodynamic forces on that piece and it seems that only the OEM splitter comes with additional mounting hardware. It’s worth the money in my opinion. Overall, $750 seems a bit low for both of the parts you are looking for.

Stay clear from RW.. the carbon weaves will detach and split... quality reflects the price.

Alibaba, could send you details.
Flaps are those that can sit on each side of the rear diffuser, i.e. attached to rear fenders.
PM me for more info.
