G20 Front Lip

I am trying to decide on a front lip. Your opinion will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Of those 3, I'd probably go with that first option: https://maxtondesignusa.net/collecti...w-3-g20-m-pack.

That said, I believe that I have the best looking G20 front lip on my car. The AA Concepts front lip: https://aaconceptsco.com/collections...31915139661883. It is currently sold out, but it's worth the wait.



Good luck!

I'm a big fan of that lip but I wanted to keep everything gloss black.

I also don't personally like the finned front splitter as it doesn't go with anything else aesthetically on the front end.

For me the best option here is the last one, it looks similar to AA Concepts but is gloss black and 3 piece.

I ended up going with the v2 very subtle but definitely makes a difference and is exactly what I was looking for. Pics coming soon

I ended up going with the Maxton v2 and couldn't be happier. It is very subtle but definitely noticeable in person and what I was looking for

Here it is. Asked Matt@autocouture about the installation and fitment and he said he was pretty impressed considering its non-oem...I agree

edit: not sure why this image uploads sideways

They all look bad. But go with a reputable company and choose Maxton
