how is it lowness-wise? from pictures, it doesnt look much lower than stock, which is good for me bc i keep scraping the lip i have now (and, in fact, broke it on my driveway after one month of use)

USCGTO

I dont see a price..

Hope this helps.

ya, def helps, thanks. looks much higher than the one i got, which is what i am looking for. where did you get yours? i saw some "carlsson-type" lips on fleabay, but would rather go with a seller in the US.

i just put the pic up to get input on the way it looked, but i've seen ones on ebay for about $500 shipped. not sure how much a genuine carlsson piece would be, though.

I got it from JL motoring. They're located in Rowland area.

I too have that lip. If you are scraping now, you WILL rip the additional chin spoiler(the lower "lip" piece). And, I too got mine from JL Motoring. It looks killer and I assume that is why you like it. That's why I like it.

I had it on my 63 before I went with the H&R Sport springs. I did not have any issue with stock clearance. It sits at about stock height, maybe a quarter inch lower, if that. You will just need to watch your entries and exits, as well as low dips. Take the angles, but based on your admission, you need practice. The chin is very easy to scrape/rip off. Try, try, try to hit things at the 45 degree angle. Take your time.

Just trying to pass on my experience. Good luck and take care of your undercarriage.

thanks, yeah i def try to hit the 45 degree angles, but my driveway isnt that wide, so it's not so easy to do ...

i see from your sig that you have the carlsson lip on the 2010 and that it's not lowered. so you dont have many scraping issues?

Is that really a Carlsson piece? I typically don't like the Carlsson stuff but that piece looks GREAT imo

my current lip is really low ... i have about 4.5 inches of clearance at the center of the lip (the lowest point). if you get a second, would you mind checking what the clearance is on your carlsson lip at the lowest point?

lip with the lowest clearance haha. its about 4 inch clearance

jordanaf

just measured. same lip, stock height: just under 4.5"

just a thought, why not try it? worst case scenario: you remove the chin spoiler. the lip will still function and look good without it. or install and wait until you rip it off.

i will say again though, if you are scraping now, do not get the lip until you figure out your lines and smooth your entry/exit. just be patient- that is the key!!

thanks for measuring it ... interesting to me that it is the same clearance as the one i currently have. from pictures it looked like the carlsson was higher. i do think the carlsson sticks out less, so that makes a big difference as far as scraping.

and you are right, i might as well use the cracked lip i have now to get better at not scraping. but like i said, my driveway (of all places) is the only place that gives me problems due to the narrowness of it, which limits the angles that i can cut.
