Front lip
I'm wondering if any of you have a front lip and if you like it or not. I'm thinking about getting one and was curious if it is hard to put on or not. Also where did you get yours from and how much was it.

There are a lot of people with front lips. Definitely adds a bit of aggressiveness. Take a look at the photo thread as there are a bunch of different designs posted. Depending on your ride height, be aware that it will lower your front profile so added mindfulness will need to be exercised when it comes to driveways, speed bumps, and lot entrances.
Prices will also vary from replicas to originals and manufacturing process. Cheaper CF manufacturing process can lead to yellowing/goldening of the weave.
Personally, I went with Euroteck front lip (http://www.euroteckmotorsports.com/i...ct=9&pageid=37), but there are a ton of different designs and price ranges out there. Just window shop around the pictures posted and see which suites your individual tastes and budget.

Yup because it sits underneath and doesn't extend up along the sides of the OEM bumper. Conceivably you could try double sided tape or silicon glue, but for something that low in front with higher than normal possibility of external contact/impact, screwing it down underneath is safer.

When I put mine on we used 3M tape and used 8 bolts in total spread evenly across the lip. Pre-drilled the holes with the bumper off the car. Everything is stuck there perfectly. I would not take a chance with just tape and a liquid adhesive there is just too much opportunity to bump that area and dislodge the lip.
There are quite a few variations out there depending on which bumper you have on your car. I think the one I have is semi-subtle and there are others out there that are more agressive (i.e. stick out more or are larger). Just make sure you see a picture of the lip on a car before you buy it so you have some idea of what it will look like installed.
