JP Front Lip + On Eibach Drop

So I'm debating whether to go for the JP front lip or not.. came accross the bitchiest speed bump I know which I have to angle in and out on



its around an infiniti key fob high of that bump when Im approaching it.. you think I'd be scraping day & night with my setup? I'm dropped on Eibach's pro kit

What do you guys suggest?

i had the same drop and lip and you scrape but not that bad if you know how to drive. i just didnt care cause i knew i was going TS-p but like even when you scrape, its just under and stuff. CHECK MY JP LIP THREAD I HAVE PICTURES OF WHERE MY SCRAPES ARE!!!. I would definately get it though. i doubt it be that bad

DO it dude.

I have JP sides on their way to Guam. Still debating what to put on the front. JP, stillen splitter or that front lip that we've been waiting for installed pics but the dude got banned so I guess thats the end of it.

Get the Stillen splitter instead! It'll give you a lot more clearance than the JP, and it doesn't look as "aftermarket" IMO. I have pictures in my profile...

You'd have to be very careful with it for sure, but why not give it a try.

But the point of having an exterior mod is to look aftermarket.. No I love the way JP's kit looks on our G's

Guess I'll just go for them and buy a new scrape counter..

Be careful of where you drive (as much as possible), avoid speed bumps, steep grades, and holes, take it at the proper angle instead of head on, shave your furry arms.
