Odd... i can see that with the ones i used since they flare out only as much as the pin pushes the inner part out, but with the rivets specified by the install guide, the inside part flares out into a "3-section flower" thats approx 1/2" wide. I can't see how it could fall out of the hole.
Of course, this is a permanent, non-removable, non-reusable solution, so i opted for the other rivets. |

Ohhh you need a rivet tool for these...LOL... I thought you turned it around and push in like a typical expansion pop rivet..I feel dumb now. I was like shit the hole is too big since i pushed it in and the rivet kept falling out.

Yah I highly doubt he will stop selling these. I am about to buy another one since winter is coming and will pull mine off and then put on a new one on next spring. |

I'm planning on keeping the lip all winter. The car shares driving duty with my E90 so if it's too bad out, I'll avoid going to work or drive the E90.

The tool i have is from Harbor Freight. They're all very similar, but this one came with a boatload of assorted pop rivets, which made picking this one easier.
I probably shoulda mentioned that the rivet i used on my lip is a manual re-usable expanding rivet, while the other one is normal pop rivet that needs a tool to install. Sorry . Last edited by squidlyboy; 08-10-2015 at 01:50 PM.. |

anyone know which rep lip looks MOST like OEM?
Specifically looking for a F30 front lip where the center piece can be seen. I think it looks better that way. Some reps have no center piece or its so tiny you dont see it. |
