The BMW M3/M4 G80 Carbon CSL Style Front Lip is a premium prepreg carbon fiber front lip inspired by the iconic BMW M4 CSL design. This high-quality carbon fiber front lip transforms the front of your BMW M3 or M4 with an aggressive, race-inspired look while reducing weight and improving aerodynamic performance. Perfect for the BMW enthusiast seeking the ultimate combination of style and functionality.
Advantages
- Premium prepreg carbon fiber construction
- CSL-inspired design for an aggressive look
- Improved aerodynamic downforce
- Significant weight loss compared to standard
- UV resistant clear coat finish
- Perfect bolt-on fit without modifications
Material & Construction
This CSL front lip is crafted from high-quality prepreg carbon fiber, the best material available for automotive carbon fiber components. Prepreg carbon fiber is produced by pre-impregnating carbon fibers with epoxy resin under controlled conditions, resulting in a superior strength-to-weight ratio and a perfectly consistent weave.
Each front lip is precision-formed in an autoclave under high pressure and temperature, ensuring optimal resin ratios and eliminating air bubbles. The result is a component that is not only lighter than alternative materials but also stronger and stiffer.
The front lip is finished with a UV-resistant clear coat that protects the characteristic carbon fiber weave from fading due to sunlight and weather. The finish has a deep, gloss finish that emphasizes the premium quality of the material.
Design & Aerodynamics
The CSL-inspired design of this front lip gives your BMW M3 or M4 an aggressive, race-oriented look that immediately stands out. The lip visually lowers the front of your BMW, creating a more dynamic stance that perfectly complements the sporty character of the M3 and M4.
The aerodynamic shape is designed to manage airflow under the vehicle and generate downforce at higher speeds. This improves stability and handling, especially during dynamic driving and on the track. The lip also helps reduce turbulence under the vehicle.
The carbon fiber weave is visible through the clearcoat, creating a premium, high-tech look. The contrast between the glossy carbon fiber and the bodywork creates a striking visual impact that underscores your BMW's sporting intentions.
Installation & Assembly
The CSL front lip is designed as a direct addition to the original BMW M3/M4 front bumper and requires no vehicle modifications. The lip is attached using high-quality stainless steel hardware and automotive-grade double-sided tape, which are included.
Professional installation by a BMW specialist or experienced body shop is highly recommended. Installation requires precise alignment and positioning to ensure a perfect fit. Expected installation time is 2-3 hours for an experienced technician.
For optimal adhesion of the double-sided tape, the front bumper must be thoroughly cleaned and degreased before installing the front lip. It is recommended not to wash the front bumper for the first 48 hours after installation to allow the tape to fully cure.

Maintenance & Warranty
The carbon fiber front lip requires minimal maintenance thanks to the UV-resistant clear coat. Clean the lip regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and pH-neutral shampoo. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives, which can damage the clear coat.
For optimal protection, the front lip can be periodically treated with a carbon-specific detailing spray or wax. This enhances the shine and provides extra protection against weather, stone chips, and insects.
2-year manufacturer's warranty on material and workmanship defects. The warranty does not cover damage resulting from improper installation, impact with obstacles (curbs, speed bumps), misuse, or normal wear and tear. Please retain your proof of purchase for warranty claims.
