Doesn't look like CVKatigbak's car is lowered. I think once it's lowered, you are gonna have hard time going over road with speed bumps and getting out of steep driveways.
how much do you pay for the unpainted lip? with the painting is it gonna come out to be about the same as a CF lip?
my cars lowered, its just that when i lowered it from the jack the suspension didnt settle. i still had to drive it around the block. it was 300 cash. im painting it so im spending around 320 total.

does this lip give you that lowered look without actually lowering the car?

Not bad! I don't like lowering my car, so this would work out. How much again for the lip?

this lip is not low.. it actually angles up with the shape of the bumper so it would work fine going through driveways and speed bumps.

$350 for a non CF lip seems high.....
and when u send it out for painting, it will be at least another $100.
so it's about the same as a Carbon Fiber lip.

Yes, I don't like CF...but close to $500 total just for a non-cf lip may be a little steep.

$300 is expensive ?

the authentic Carlsson front lip cost $1095.

$350 is bargain IMO. paint is about $100. $450 painted vs $1195 painted for authentic Carlsson's.

Hi Frank, I talked to JL Motoring today. They will have the Carlsson replica in non-CF version (fiber glass). He told me their price will be lower than $300. The shipment should arrive sometime in Feb. So those who wants a non-CF version of the JL motoring Lip, they will be coming in a couple of weeks. Probably the same time the ABS lip will be done.
