R.I.P. front lip :/ I was barely merging onto the freeway and this 6 foot piece of tire happened to be taking more than half the lane and I couldn't turn lanes because of 2 huge trucks. I'm glad my front bumper is still intact with few scratches. Rep. AG lip here we go!

I had picked up a seibon lip used locally. Actually the entire kit. I sold both the front lip and the side skirts. The front lip I was afraid of this exact thing. It's rough driving around low as it is without adding that extra length to the bumper. Sorry to see your's go in such a violent way. Sold the skirts because I thought they wouldn't look good with the lip.

My advice. Skip a lip. Add a splitter if you want to add some ground effect and lower the car more. It looks just as aggressive and has nice clean OEM lines.

I approve the mushroom!
Sorry to hear about your front lip, I think you'll enjoy the fresh look with the new lip and forget about the damages soon enough

Thanks for the tip! At first, I wanted the lip so my front bumper avoids hitting parking blocks but, the aggressive look made the pain of getting out of the driveway worth it. I never had any problems with scraping the seibon lip even with a rubber lip attached underneathe to prevent cracks/rock chips. I just loved how it looked despite, the fitment not being the greatest. I'll probably pick another one up if I ever find a cheap one.

Thanks! The mushroom adds 15hp :] I just painted the rep lip gloss black. :] I'll keep it on until I find another Seibon lip for a great price.

Great build bro!
I just want to ask if you installed those beautiful exhaust tips.
I'm really interesting in installing similar tips on my '17

Thanks bro! I might have them installed by the end of this week or next week after my 2017 oem diffuser is finished getting painted at a body shop.
