CF vents installed (Need a suggestion on front lip)
I installed CF vents about a week ago. Even though I love the overall look of the vents, the front end of the car seems to be missing something...A front lip!!!
So I have 2 front spoilers in mind, JB SPEED and ARKYM. Now here is the delima, I love the look of the JB SPEED front lip but I keep eyeing the ARKYM lip as well.
The JB SPEED lip is CF which will really match the the Side vents, looks great and is reasonably priced, Im Just worried about the fitment.
The ARKYM front lip looks amazing, very clean and aggressive. Fitment looks spot on. I would get it In FRP if i decide to purchase it but I don't know how well it would match the CF vents. I would want the CF version but its alot of $$$.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Here are some pics of the Vents....

I have front cf lip from Vath and very happy. I am not sure Hiw the knock off from JB fits but the weave on cath original is flawless, the fit is beautiful and the ground clearance is good. I think it's the best design lip out here personally!

No matter what lip you go for... make sure it's CF to match your CF vents. FRP, painted or matte black will look funny among all your other CF parts.

Thanks again for shipping these out Dave. I love the look.
I was actually considering the Vath style lip. The apron lips look great too but I dont know who sells them.
Vath lip looks great, The JB lip has a different style but they look similar. Considering the vents I installed are the Vath style, The vath lip would be a nice pair.
Very true. I was hesitatnt to go with the ARKYM lip just becuase of the matt black look. But other then that, it looks very clean. I think CF is my best choice for the front lip. Now Im stuck between the cf apron, vath style, and JB speed style lip. Decisions...decisions.
