Yes, I am....

And reason why I said call them is because you said your bumper has not arrived yet...

velocity splitters are way hotter than the dtm ones. i am sure you will have no problems mountin splitter on your bumper.

i think if you painted them the ywould get cracked and chipped and not look very good preety quickly.

i like the Velocity splitters, those are kool. But the DTM ones lare from a stock E36 non M bumper. How much are the velocity ones?

Umnitza has them for $109 I believe.

the velocity splitters are roughly ~120 + shipping. make sure you paint them... well, that's just my approach. i hated the black plastic on that, the m sport lip, and the bumper trip. i just ended up painting it all. but without paint, the velocity splitters will show their cracks (and trust me, they will get cracked). with paint, you don't see the crack as much.

all personal opinion though... sure mine are scraped and split but i think they would look like garbage unpainted...

^^how badly do they crack ?

According to Umnitza they lower the front clearance by about 2.5", that might be a little to low if i lower my car. Im gonna hold off buying them for now, see how much clearance i have and can afford to lose.

i like them a lot, and if they break up or fall off i would order another set. it's only a front bumper anyways, and they protect your m spoiler lip.

expect a write up from me on them soon

**komodo** · 11-16-2005, 01:30 AM

DIY putting them on.

**Rooz** · 11-16-2005, 01:40 AM

Will do

They are pretty stupid cheap. Problem is for their price, they are exactly what I said. Me and my buddy went through a pair of them in one day....and his car isnt that low because he's rolling 255s at all corners on coilovers. They are pretty pathetic. After one day he was forced to take their broken ass off. I dunno, a lot of peopel have it. It should fit perfect. Since your lip is modled id be worried about whether or not a aluminum underpanel or velocity track spoiler would fit.

I dont think id rock them because it's too damn low.

Lets see a underside pic of the bumper once you get it!

Rooz, good luck with those splitters. Even on stock ride height you're basically scrwed. Like I said, my buddy, lowered maybe .5 inches all around, broke them without driving hard in one day....just driving to his sisters house.

They are $109 at umnitza right now. In my opinion a much better look that wont lower it as extreme is a cup spoiler. Looks much better too! but i dont know if that iwll fit your bumpers.

**Rooz** · 11-16-2005, 09:44 AM

well, sanded them down, primed them 2 coats and first coat of paint just went on....

Storamin · 11-16-2005, 12:41 PM

the cupspoiler would be even worse.
