Not a fan of add-on lips. The issue with FRP is that it will chip unless you put a clear-bra type material over it.

Without even looking at them, you have to consider how much any add-on spoiler is going to decrease the ground clearance. I added something similar to my Porsche which gave me about one inch less clearance and I've had to repaint the thing at least three times because I've forgotten to enter driveways etc. at an angle. Looks good but a lot of trouble.

Yeah It is difficult not to scrape the car as low as it is in the front side but people have their style.. I don't like the first two much 3 I haven't seen before 4- will look good no matter what and it seems to go with the flow of the bumper.

I am not a fan of CF front lips, I only like a painted lip, but I have yet to see a clean well integrated front lip design (too many lines and creases, like a triple chin).
I would say out of all of them, the third one is the nicest.

Thanks! looks really nice. Was it easy to install? Did you have to drill holes on the lip?

ya, i got it with the same vendor...

@pining garica Thanks! looks really nice. Was it easy to install? Did you have to drill holes on the lip?

this lip is a little bit trickier to align it straight... it is just like any other lip... i used 3m double tape, worked from the middle then outward... i also double screwed the side to give additional support... no additonal drills needed.. good luck
