Front lip

johnnyg238 · 09-18-2021, 07:00 PM

Before and after. I love it! Although a PITA without being able to jack up the front.

Looks great. Where did you get it from?

johnnyg238 · 09-18-2021, 07:23 PM

Believe it or not Amazon. Just carbon fiber look on top. I know they are high risk of breaking. Didn't make sense to drop big $$$ on real CF for front lip. My spoiler though is real CF

Ohhh seriously? thats a first. It looks really great. I'm looking for a front lip as well and might check this out. Do you have a link to share?

Did you use just the tape or bolts as well?

johnnyg238 · 09-18-2021, 09:06 PM

I ended up using self tapping screws. Tape would not be enough with the forces a front lip faces.

johnnyg238 · 09-18-2021, 09:07 PM

I ordered from ikonmotorsport

That's actually really nice! Sport and class with a little bit of sass.😂 But seriously i will check this out

Rocket455 · 09-19-2021, 01:14 PM

Nice. I have the same one, albeit gloss black from eBay. My favorite front lip on the G20 by far.

johnnyg238 · 09-19-2021, 01:25 PM

I couldn't make up my mind about CF vs glossy black but since my wing is CF I went with that in the front.

I'm looking at getting that front lip after I had the m performance one but cracked it. How much clearance are you getting with that splitter?

It does protrude about 1.5"-2" more than stock, and you certainly have to be more careful while going into dips and curbs. I've had a few bad scrapes when I first started riving around with it installed and occasionally still do, but I've been really impressed with the ABS material mine's made from. I could swear it should have shattered by now, but the little sucker's holding up just fine, albeit with a few scratches etc.

johnnyg238 · 09-27-2021, 07:02 PM

Yeah. The benefit of abs is that it rarely cracked. It scratches. Bends. Warps. But it isn't as rigid as CF. and for a front lip which is guaranteed to hit stuff it is kind of stupid to spend CF money in it.

johnnyg238 · 09-27-2021, 07:03 PM

About 1-1.5 inches lower.

merlin99 · 09-28-2021, 06:07 AM

Hi sorry to confirm it protrudes 1-2 inches on the horizontal and 1-1.5 on the vertical.

Yeah my current splitter (broken) due to bottoming out so used to crawling over speed bumps etc

johnnyg238 · 09-28-2021, 06:46 AM

It varies obviously as you go around but I think I caught it well in these pics.

merlin99 · 09-28-2021, 07:05 AM

Fab thanks

Will be ordering this one (gloss) so hope it's similar

johnnyg238 · 09-28-2021, 07:14 AM

Yes. That looks exactly the same as mine other than color. Helpful tip. I pre drilled out the holes for screws in the lip so the self tapping screws would be easier to use. NOT in the bumper. Only the lip. But again I wasn't able to lift the front so it was all wrist power and no drill for the screws.
