IMHO if you are not lowering the car AIT will look more out of place than AK. Do it right

Dam I just call it ait lip, but the lip costs about 300 and the bumper costs about 260 (that's what I was quoted) but the bumper has fitment issues, takes weeks to get properly on but once it is it looks good

IMO I like the ait ts. I'm actually thinking of getting that or the JP front lips with a pro kit drop. I like that aggressive stance

Obviously I'm biased...but for what it's worth, what i like about the Autokits X front lip is the fitment, customer service, and quality of it, and all the rest of their products! My G is my daily driver. And the Autokits lip doesn't scrape at all. Can't go wrong with Autokits, especially if molded on! Good luck.

biased here too, but autox FTW lol. I would not be able to get down the ramp into my own garage with my 2" drop and a molded TS lip. It just kisses the ground/grinds each time now as it is.

To mold it you'll need to find a polyurethane lip, whereas most of the TS lips that are sold are fiberglass.

First lower the car before getting a front lip. It's going to look ugly without a drop.

I've had Both lips and AK I's very subtle simple and clean and looks great dropped! AIT looks aggressive and the look I's just so awesome w the G like it belongs w the car ! I don't care to be slammed so if I had to slightly raise like I have b4 I would rock AIT cause even though you raise your car the front end makes u look slammed. Hard decision and after selling my TS-P molded bumper I'm back to stock and currently deciding on these 2 lips ! Seriously I'm torn but I gotta say I freakin love AIT look....

Maybe AK should release a V2 lip w a more aggressive front ???

I can respect that. There are some that perform the work and have their own legit names too though.

This is 100% not true. You do not need a Poly lip to mold? Molding a poly lip is even harder then molding a FG lip.

Molding a Poly involves fusors, where a FG lip involves...well, glass & the correct prepping like drilling holes and possibly even screwing it together. Almost almost type of resin will stick to glass if you prep it correctly.

There is also an advantage with glass in climate change. Poly expands and shrinks when its Warm and Cold which can results in cracking, especially around the molded/fused section. Glass does not result in this.


So yes, the AIT "top secret" front lip CAN indeed be molded.

ok, I'll be more clear. It is better and will last longer molding a poly lip to the bumper than a FG lip to the bumper. Obviously you can mold the FG lip to the bumper but you will have a much higher chance of it separating than with a poly lip.

I have had both FG molded and poly molded and have had better results with the poly molded, so take this for what it's worth. if you are low and worried about scraping (and are molded) I personally think poly is better

^Thanks for the useful info 1cleanG.. I think I'll just get the AIT TS lip and mold it to my sports bumper. VossenG37S said AIT TS will look slammed with the stock height so its perfect for me since I'm not planing to lower it just yet.

Thanks
