Default New lip installed...pics inside

I wanted a lip for the front, but I didn't want the huge front spoiler look most lips for the F-sport have. I decided on an 'L-style' lip because it's subtle but noticeable..
Here's the pics:

Nice! I bought the same lip a week after I bought my FSport. Fitment was great, couldn't complain, esp for the price.

Looks good. Where did you get it from? How does it attach?

It's an ebay lip..only $77. Fitment was very good surprisingly. It attaches with the stock 2 center bolts that hold the 'skid plate' on the bottom, then you screw the rest of it in to the bottom of your bumper.

Sweet thanks for the link! Are you planning on painting it?

Nope...it's so subtle, if I painted it I might as well take it off. The larger lips look better painted, but this one would get lost in the bumper if it matched in my opinion.

That looks pretty good. I don't like the the ones that have that flared end piece that you can see from the side of the bumper.

Good to hear that it fits well. I ordered the exact same one two days ago bc there was a $15 off ebay coupon.
I plan on Wrapping my lip with VVIVID Gloss carbon fiber. Yours looks great.
Does it stay attached well? Do i need to drill holes in the bumper or something to attach it?
I plan on doing it myself.

Yes, it has about 12-14 screws holding it in..and yes, you must drill into the bumper. It is very secure once installed...
