There's an OEM one, and there is a replica on eBay... I did install the replica and it fits like a glove!!! Comes in black plastic, you could leave it as is, or paint the parts to match your vehicle.

Plenty of posts here talking about that kit, just dig a little and you will find pictures of many F15s with the kit installed... Hope this helps!

Everything I search for is in carbon fiber on the forum. Same goes for eBay, only thing on eBay is either carbon fiber or fiberglass

Have not found one that's neither CF, nor FG.
Don't think it'd last.

Not sure what material you'd prefer...most will be CF or fiberglass.

This is exactly the one I got:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fits-14-17-...53.m2749.l2649

That is a kit that has both front and rear parts of the aero kit... But, that same seller also sells the front and rear by themselves... As I said before, I installed both without a problem! Everything fits like a glove!

Good luck pal!

Must've gotten lucky or I must've been screwed because mine fit so badly I had to shave off parts for over an hour and it still fit so bad I took it off. Same seller ikon motor sports. I couldn't stand the terrible fitment I took it off and now sits in my garage as a $600 reminder never to buy another eBay lip.

Damn!!!! What a shame man, mine were just perfect... There's a thread of a guy that got his and they fitted perfectly also, from that very same seller as well... I wonder if you got a bad batch or something man...

gtrsam do you have an park assistant? i believe the X5s with park assistant require a different part number.

I do have park assist but I never mentioned that to a different vendor that I bought my other lip from. And that one fits perfectly fine.

I have an msport and I never said I bought that exact lip from that link. :I bought a cf lip from that same seller. So I was saying that I would be cautious buying a lip from that seller

Highly possible the Msport lip might fit like crap because most ebay lips do.. But the Xline aero lip might fit better.

Yes, aero lip (and rear diffusor) for non M Sport is apparently made from good quality molds and it's almost oem like fitment. Unfortunately this is not true for M Sport yet. Maybe one day. I'm currently also looking to buy some used oem M Performance lip for M Sport, just because I don't have money left for new lol. I saw earlier in classifieds oem M performance lip sold for $850 with brackets.
