Mstache V2: Quick Prep + Instal Photos

Hello all,

Many has heard about the mstache lip for the Z4M from our forum member Steve (composite steve).

Still my favorite lip out there for the Z4M, quite affordable as well.

You can find his thread here:

http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=782882

There's some light sanding to do, as explained by Steve.

Sprayed the lip gloss black with a can.

Sorry in advance for the crappy iPhone pics and the dirty car. Will take updated shots with the GF's new WRX

Great news, it fits in the trunk if you angle it up towards the C pillar window.

Here's some Prep + Install shots!

Here's the lip, I've started sanding already.









After sanding, cleaned the lip then placed it on my "rack".



Laid down about 5 coats of gloss black.

















Dried for 24 hours and ready to go! Applied with generous 3M tape for now.

Will end up repainting my front bumper soon, will probably tap a couple screws into the sides of the lip where there's existing holes.













Some bumper clearance shots:

Before: About 2 inches from the crappy speedbumps in the community.





After: Still got an inch left!!

For some reason I thought you sold your Z4 over a year ago. Didnt know you still had it.

I like the new look VS your old TE37s. Looks clean!

Looks great! I think it would last exactly 1x down my driveway (already scrapes unless taken at angle).. so no option for me. ;-(

Hey there! It's been a while. Had this one since 4/09.

Should be a keeper. Love how rare they are.

Thanks! Minor changes here and there...

Racing brake rotors + studs + hre's + lip is about all I did these past years.

Thank you! One of the best looking lips for our cars. Great price too!

I agree it's a tad low at the moment for unexpected potholes / dips. May raise my car or may sell it.

Perhaps! Reason for taking off the kit?
