For those who have purchased a CF front lip from JBSPEED, how would you guys rate JBSPEED's CF Front lip?
Does this lip look like the Euroteck CF front lip?

Thanks.

 

I have one, its good.

It was tricky to instal but its on and it looks really good!!

Im about to post some pictures of a photo shoot I did a few weeks ago.

 

I have one also but havent put it on yet, can you tell us about the install at all, some pointers in the right direction would be fantastic !!

 

EUROTECKCFFRONTLIP>ALL

 

Thanks Bulldog,

Please do show us the pics. So once the lip is on you would not be able to tell the difference between JBSpeeds and the others?

 

Vader,

I'm sure the Euroteck is the better product compared to the rest but I feel that the price is high for what it is. If there are other that can sell it for less then half the price and looks close enough that works for me. YMMV.

 

I like the front lip. It is by far the best bang for the buck.

Here are some pics.

Let me know if you want some more ...


I have an install tread on here, let me find it and ill post step by step intall for the front lip.....

 

Thank you Bulldog. The CF front lip does look good and from the pics it looks like a perfect fit. Did you have to modify anything or did it just screw into the factory screw locations?

 

CF Front Lip Install.....

This was a post I did for another guy on here trying to install his Front Lip...


"But if you still want to mount it this is what you do…. If it says Carlsson then that just mean that is the mold the used…… they tend to fight tight and will pull you bumper in a little in the front (not visible) but you will need to trim back the fiberglass splash guard around where the heat exchange vent is ( save for last just incase it fits right).

• Jack the front of your car up on jack stands
• Remove the fiberglass splash guard, there should be about 6 or 8 screws.
• On the bottom side of the lip you should see 16 indents from where the fiberglass was poured over the original holes. I believe it is 3-single on the Left and right outer most part of the lip and 5-double (10 all together) in the middle/front part of the lip. Pre-drill the holes with ¼ inch drill.
• Get 2 utility clamps and clamp the lip on the bumper from underneath at the bend…. Make sure it is all lined up!!!!!!!!... corners, front, ends…
• Starting at the center, drill through you pre-drilled holes (use as guide) through your bumper. Make sure you don’t get HULK hands and drill through you Heat Exchange!!!
• Remove the center mesh between the fog lights, just the center piece.
• Get 16 1.5 inch bolts with a flat/rounded top so the sit flush with the under part of the lip. You will also need 16 regular washers and 16 lock washers… just to be safe.
• Throw on the 2 center bolts and move in and equal outward fashion (1 left side bolt, then 1 right side bolt… and so on) so you will not have any large discrepancies when you are trying to bolt down the outer part of the lip by the wheel well.
• The fun part…. Trying to get the splash guard back on… if you lip has changed you bumper in any angle from OEM then you will have to cut back some of the guard. Do this slow and steady and don’t loose you cool, this part takes patients.
• Right around this time you have totally lost your ****, punched a hole in the garage wall, thrown something, kicked a dog and punched a baby…. But when it is all said and done, it looks F’n stunning!!!

Good luck brotha… let me know if you have any more questions….

PS… be careful pulling in and out of places….your car in now officially had 1” less front clearance!!!! "

 

Thanks Bulldog,

 

Yes, thank you.

My CF lip is on the way.

 

it's a nice lip. here is mine...

 

The lip is different then ours. I am not sure if it is a Carlsson RS replica or not, but when you look at ours compared to this JB guy, ours is much more aggressive! Plus ours comes with a 3 year warranty! Ours also comes with full detailed installation instructions with pictures and all required hardware. It is very easy to put on and fits excellent. Just like what an E55 deserves. Do not go cheap on these cars, you will regret it. I cannot even begin to tell you how many people buy other CF parts then come to us a year later and buys ours since something wasnt right with their's and they always say they should have just went with our parts at first and saved money and trouble.

 

yes some times the clear coat on cheap cf parts turns yellow after sitting in the sun.

 

True. I have seen that in the past. CF will turn yellow over time. Exterior parts take a little more time but will turn yellow if you have not had the clear coated with UV Protect Clear.... which just to be safe, I did when I got my parts. Plus, my car does not see a whole lot of sun in the garage... haha.

You will see this with cars that have CF in the engine bay. My buddies RS4 CF engine parts were constantly turning yellow.

 

What about the DCTMotorsports CF front lip? Anyone have this piece?

It looks more aggressive than the others.

 

I love the dct one.
