Welcome to CL.
I've always referred to this thread about body kits. Scroll down and you'll see 2011. Doesn't seem like there are a lot of options out there for you [yet]:

Don't think the search will help him much in this situation. There's not much out there for the 2011's yet. And the one lip that has been posted is for the Fsport front bumpers so those with a regular bumpers like th OP is out of luck. My suggestion is to do the Fsport front conversion. You'd have to buy the 2 front lip pieces, make a few holes, throw in a few clips and you're done. I made a quick diy if you search my posts. Hope this helps

Hey Tim! It's Nelson from the BOS7 meet! There aren't any lips out for the 2011 bumper yet...although I googled it and this came up....kinda ugly though.

^ thats a good alternative for 2011 non Fsport owners! Here's the link to the Fsport DIY if you want to go that route Tim.

InspireME, actually I can imagine it'll look great when painted.

I'm in on this one. I have been looking for a lip since I bought the car, the splitters alone just don't do it for me.

Funny you say that I almost pulled the trigger on some splitters at the stealership but I decided to be patient and cross my fingers and hope for something nice to come out.

I'd have to agree with Inspire...with the lip that he posted it kinda takes away from the 2011 front. 2011 is quite a bit different than previous years, esp with the Fsport, and with the lip it looks very similair to the previous update. The Fsport front is very distinct and gives the front a new, updated and aggressive look. In my oppinion this mutes the front down a bit.

Also, who knows about fitment on this piece...it could be off since it isn't OEM and I'm not sure if anyone has tried fitting it yet. The OEM Fsport pieces fit 100%. However, looking at this lip it looks like the sides are high enough so that it would cover the holes from the Fsport front if someone with an Fsport is looking to switch?

I agree, that front lip makes the 2011 front look like the previous years. The F-sport help the 2011 bumper stand out a bit more.

I would like to see a carbon fiber front lip/diffuser that works well on the f sport bumper/spoilers but I doubt that will happen since there isnt much of a market for our cars to begin with. So for now I would also just recommend the f sport spoilers...

^^Doesn't look too bad, but still a little too familiar. I vote for the F-Sport lips over that.
