The first and typically the most popular CF aero product we will cover in this guide are front lip spoilers. Most people like to go with this part as their first modification because it can dramatically alter the look of the front end, which is typically the first thing people see when your car is pulling up or when someone checks out your ride. We currently carry 3 different style front lips for the M3/M4 models. However, we do have more in the works so keep checking our online store for more to come.

Our first front lip is the Performance style front lip. When it comes to lip spoilers this one if definitely the most difficult to install. It is a 3 piece design (2 splitters and 1 lower lip), and requires the use of 3M tape for the splitters and self taping screws for the bottom. The most difficult part of the install is making sure everything lines up correctly. Professional installation is highly recommended. To help we do have an installation guide (Click Here to View). This lip is made using 2×2 weave carbon fiber fabric and is modeled after the M Performance front lip from BMW. This one is perfect if you want to pair your BMW up with all Performance products, like the trunk spoiler and diffuser. If gives your M a modest and classic BMW look.

The second style lip is our 3D style carbon fiber front lip. This one tends to the the easier of the 3 to install. It has pre-drilled holes for mounting and is a 1 piece design. It utilizes the same 2×2 carbon fiber weave and will give your BMW M car a nice aggressive touch to the bottom without covering any of the bumper (as seen on the performance style lip above).

The last front lip we currently have to offer is the DTM front lip. This lip will tend to hang lower then the 3D style and is more bulky. It will give you a lower and more aggressive look, but may be a little more difficult to drive with if you are heavily lowered. The lip is deigned to be stronger than the 3D Style so it can take a little more abuse before it cracks. This one also comes with pre-drilled holes for easy installation.

Next up on the list of must have carbon fiber aero parts are rear diffusers. Your BMW M3/M4 is not complete with out some carbon in the rear. An upgraded CF diffuser adds that aggressive touch to the rear that the front lip gave to the front and adds that mean stance people will be checking out when you pull away from them. RW Carbon offers 3 styles for the F80, F82 and F83 models. We also have more diffuser styles coming out so keep checking our online store.

The first style we offer is the Performance style diffuser. This diffuser is our most modest style and is modeled after the M Performance diffuser from BMW. This one is perfect if you want to pair it with the Performance style front lip. It adds a nice carbon feel to the rear end without being too extravagant. Installation for this piece is very simple and can be done in under 20 minutes. For more details on the installation procedure please (Click Here).

If you want a diffuser with a little more impact we carry a big fin version of the performance style. It is styled after the RKP diffuser and is made using the same 2×2 carbon fiber weave. This diffuser installs the same way as the Performance style diffuser so installation is also a piece of cake and you can also use the same install guide as seen above.

If you are all about going big or going home on your carbon fiber aero parts, then our new DTM carbon fiber diffuser is for you. It takes aggressive styling the the max, with huge fins and side blades that extend under the rear bumper all the way to the rear fender wells. It is completely made out of 2×2 carbon fiber and is a 1 piece design. This part is perfect to match up with a DTM front lip spoiler. The installation on this diffuser is far more complex and really needs the experience hand of a professional for proper fitment and installation.

The last part needed to finish off your carbon fiber theme is a new trunk spoiler. A new trunk spoiler will not only give your BMW M car a wickly new aggressive look but also adds downforce at high speeds. We currently offer 1 trunk spoiler for the F82 M4 models (with one more style in the works) and 2 styles for the F80 M3. We currently do not have a trunk spoiler for the F83 convertible models, and do not have any current plans to make one.

For the F82 M4 we have the performance style carbon fiber trunk spoiler. Styled after the M Performance spoiler, this one is perfect to complete your performance styled theme with your front lip and diffuser. It is a subtle aggressive upgrade, but looks great with any CF parts. If you are looking for something more aggressive we will have a new style coming out soon. This spoiler attaches using 3M double sided tape.

The F80 M3 owners are lucky as we have 2 styles available. The first one is the Performance style. Since the F30 3 series and F80 M3 share the same trunks, these spoilers are the same the F30 versions. A great addition to your build, but if you are looking for something a little more aggressive and unique we just released a M4 style spoiler for the F80 models. Due to the popularity of the M4 performance spoiler we created one for the F80 models. So far it has been a huge hit with the M3 community. Both are made using our 2×2 carbon fiber and install using 3M double sided tape.

If you want to go a little further than the average carbon fiber consumer, RW Carbon also provides carbon fiber side skirt extensions for the BMW F82/F83 M4. These also may fit the F80 M3 models, but are currently being tested. For up to date test fitting results please email us (info@rwcarbon.com). These side skirt extensions install below your side skirts with self taping screws and gives your M4 a lower and more aggressive stance. It also helps to bring the diffuser and front lip together by giving the allusion of a lower center section that lines up with the front and rear pieces.
