The NWCarbon Haus F97/F98 X3M/X4M PRE-LCI V1 Style Wet Carbon Fiber Front Lip is designed to extend the factory lower fascia of the BMW X3 M and X4 M, adding an aggressive, track-inspired appearance to the front end.
The V1 Style design visually lowers the front fascia and creates a more pronounced, performance-focused profile while complementing the factory bodywork.
Constructed from genuine wet carbon fiber, the front lip uses traditional carbon fiber lay-up construction with a smooth, high-gloss finish. This provides the distinctive appearance of real carbon fiber while offering excellent durability and UV resistance.

Wet Carbon Fiber Construction
The F97/F98 V1 Style Front Lip is produced using traditional wet carbon fiber lay-up construction, a manufacturing method commonly associated with carbon fiber tuning products for this generation of BMW vehicles.
The smooth high-gloss finish emphasizes the carbon weave while providing durability and UV resistance.
Because the components are produced using a hand-laid wet carbon process, weave alignment and panel tolerances can vary slightly from piece to piece. These variations are characteristic of the manufacturing process.
Important Product Notice
Wet carbon fiber components are produced using a traditional hand-laid construction process. Minor variations in carbon weave alignment, finish, and panel tolerance may occur between individual pieces.
Customers should verify fitment before installation. Installed products are not eligible for refunds, so any fitment questions should be resolved before the product is installed.
Professional Installation Recommended
Professional installation is strongly recommended, particularly because installation may require additional hardware or potentially drilling depending on the application.
A qualified installer can ensure proper positioning of the lip, correct use of the 3M double-sided tape, and appropriate clearance around the surrounding factory components.
