They call this the "Black Knight" kit off Aliexpress/Taobao. Its in CF.
Rear diffuser cmpletely blocks the rear kick-to-open sensor so this would be the trade off.

I had first the Maxton one first pic, then change to Icon which they have different names and different suppliers but they are all the same design.

I’m new to making modifications. Do most people change the lip only or also add side skirts? Can somebody send me a link to where I can order these? Also, can the lips get painted the same colour as the car?

I have this front and rear set up as well. What kind of adhesive did you use to get top of rear lip to adhere to bumper? I used a 3m tape but it doesn't sit perfectly flush. Truck looks sick.

Is your lip painted BSM to match your car? Or did you leave it gloss black?

I'm thinking of ordering the Ikon one right now, thanks!

Front splitters in this thread are looking great!

Waiting for my X5 LCI to arrive in June. Ordered already the Maxton sideskirts and CT Carbon diffusor, roofspoiler and mirrors.

Need to find a good splitter now.... but since the M-performance is $2700 I'll just have to find a better option.

Do you guys know if the splitters for the pre-LCI also fits the new LCI model...?

Actually, neither. The black one were out of stock and I ordered the carbon fiber one. I sanded and I painted it myself with regular gloss black.

Ikon front lip spoiler

I recently Installed the Ikon front lip spoiler version. It was easy to install and I love the look of my front end now!

Is the black knight front lip the same as the icon lip? It looks very similar, but seems to be a 2 piece design, where the icon one is 4 piece.

Here is one I bought on Amazon. I believe it’s the same style as Ikon but it was only $40 and included all the necessary mounting hardware. I thought it was too good to be true but it fit very nicely and looks great. Time will tell how it holds up.
