Looking to elevate the front-end aggression of your BMW F82 M4? In this video, we walk through the full installation process of a J Style front lip, showing just how much of a difference this simple mod can make — both visually and aerodynamically.
What is the J Style Lip?
The J Style lip is a popular aftermarket choice for the F82 M4 thanks to its bold contours and aggressive design. It adds a more planted look to the front of the car and can help with downforce at higher speeds, all while keeping things stylish and functional.
Tools & Materials Needed:
-
J Style front lip kit
-
Fasteners (often included with the lip)
-
Power drill & screwdriver
-
Jack & jack stands (optional but helpful for clearance)
-
Painter’s tape (to line up placement)
-
A friend (for easier alignment and handling)
Installation Highlights:
-
Prep the Surface: Start with a clean front bumper. Dirt or grease can affect adhesion and positioning.
-
Test Fitment: Before drilling, test the lip for alignment. Use painter’s tape to hold it in place and make minor adjustments.
-
Mark & Drill: Once aligned, mark the drill points and begin installing the screws or bolts, starting from the center and moving outward to avoid warping or misalignment.
-
Final Tightening: After everything is aligned and secure, go over each fastener to make sure the lip is snug and flush against the bumper.
-
Step Back and Admire: The finished look brings a sportier, race-inspired touch to your M4.
