yeah i havent found any eyelids that i liked except those ones you did yourself...My buddy has them on his blown up 92 325i but they were on it when he got it so dont really know if the previous owner purchased them somewhere or made them...I thought u could buy a style like the ones you made but im not to sure

Also do you think it is worth getting that lip and hacking at my bumper....i dont like the sound of that although i realize Ebay items sometimes need a little fab work before they fit...Ive wanted to get that lip ever since i saw it on ebay just am a little skeptical about the fabrication work...

My plans are to replace two front fenders along with the nose panel...then purchase a Rear Deck Spoiler and that lip off of ebay...I want to install them then bring the car to a bodyshop and have the little dents taken out of the rest of the body...Roll my fenders in order to the my wheels on...then have the whole thing repainted one solid color...Probly stick with Sterling Silber

The main part that needed modified on the bumper was about halfway down it needed cut away from the wheel about an inch (I think) on both sides.

It's not super noticeable with the lip on, but if I ever wanted to get rid of it the bumper would look funny. Also a few pieces on the lip in the middle needed shortened.

For me the end result is worth it, especially since I was never crazy about m3 bumpers anyhow.
