Lazy, confused and sick of searching for front CF spoiler

Searched these forums, saw many great pics of different front lip CF spoilers.
Looked on eBay and there are too many sellers. Most are made in China or Taiwan. I can't tell which one is a quality piece and will fit properly... Prices are all over the map.

So taking the lazy route here and asking for direct advice on this? To me the car looks like something is missing up front and I just want to fill that gap in the lower lip middle section.

Any directions oh wise ones?

I think Vorsteiner looks best but is very pricey. I dont like the other styles frankly speaking. You are lowered on H&R, so you might have to be super careful.

I think he'll be fine. I used to live in Addison and those roads and driveways were pretty easy. To be safe, I'd go with a sponsor on the board. Even if the fitment is off, they'll take care of you.

These things can take a pounding if your car is a DD. Think of it as a disposable item when looking at price. Take a look at EuroTeck for a good balance of quality and price.

Also consider that any damage to the lip could also take out the bumper. Once attached, it's also very hard to separate it from the bumper.

I'm not a big fan of add on lips but Suvneer lip looks good.

Arkym in matte black plastic. Paint to match or leave as is I think this is the best option considering cost, durability, and appearance. $449.00 delivered.

Any owner pics or experiences that you folks can share regarding this product?

Aw man! lol thanks for reminding me of this one...red paint matched will probably look good. Already buying a Vorst CF one. Another good option!

I think you'll find that the Vorsteiner one is a tad easier to park since it has the space in the middle. Still my fave front lip.

As Case1609 stated I should consider these "disposable". It isn't my daily driver. I think the Arkym may last longer than the others (plastic = some flexibility).

Very interested in what anyone has experienced with Arkym or others.


Here is another option $590.00, C63 Face Lift Carbon Center Strip for OEM Front Bumper by Revozport. Very subtle and sleek. Not a spoiler though actually I guess.

This pic is my car, I have the JB speed - Godhand front lip.. But Suvneer does sell it now.

I love the Vorsteiner front lip, but scraping a 1500$ front lip is too painful. Lol That's why I prefer to have a 300-400$ lip. It's actually better to scrape my cheap lip than my OEM bumper. Kind of act as protection.

Mr. Clark Kent this is all your fault! If I hadn't seen yours and gone crazy over how awesome it looks it we wouldn't be in this predicament LOL.

Which one are you referring to?...I'll get one that's different no problem. Is the Suvneer godhand model the one you have?

That's what friends are for! Yes, mine is the Godhand, it has 3 pieces. Mostly you see just the upper and lower with a gap between the two. The other one looks pretty cool also as a 1 piece. But get whichever one you like the most!

I can't find a single picture, and if it exists I can typically track it down

I know Vorsteiner prices are ridiculous for add on pieces, not worth it.
