Got them from Vibe motorsports at retail. No real sales on them

eBay as well

Some people have noted here that side skirt extensions and splitters are too much but to me I think it just ties everything together. it all compliments each other from a front splitter, side splitters and the rear especially with that diffuser

I've had multiple people tell me my car looks lowered but it's not. Those side skirts and rear splitters give the appearance of a lower wider car without the need for lowering. A huge plus for me with these horrible LA surface streets.

Definitely helps make the car look lower, but that wheel gap though... haha

I feel you on the LA streets though, and I've already felt the repercussions of lowering. Under my front bumper is a mess. Scraped to hell. I can't imagine what a front lip would look like (cracked to pieces I'm sure).

I never never drive my car in areas I've never driven before. especially when us guys with cars that sit pretty damn low. even when I lived in San Diego I stayed only areas I was familiar with. I knew where every pot hole was and my friends would also send text messages of new pot holes found and where to avoid them

Dam this is nice! Everything ties in nicely. Great work!

Where did you get your lip from? Ebay spec?

Thank you. Yes, AK style lip from eBay.

asian · 10-16-2018, 09:36 PM

thanks for the reply! I'm waiting on mine from ebay.

how is the fitment? any close up pics of the lip? DIY or garage?

Fitment is pretty spot on. I removed my bumper and used washers on both sides along with a locking nut on the back so it doesn't flex at all. No close up shots but I am very satisfied

AMT92 · 10-17-2018, 12:28 AM

Crappy iPhone shots.

Thanks for the info!

The delivery gods must have been listening to us. My lip just arrived! Inital loose fitment seems pretty good. We will find out next week when I get it installed I guess. Will post pics

Looking good. I just not a fan of all the gloss black add-ons. Carbon fiber would have looked way sweeter.

Thanks.

Most carbon fiber is cheap looking unless you buy OEM aftermarket pieces, fades over time, and if cracked (aka front lip), cannot be repaired/repainted as easily as my gloss black parts.
