Received it today. Easy install I removed the front bumper which made it a lot easier.

 

Looks good.

Do those metal brackets serve any other function besides mounting lip to bumper?

Wonder if they'd look better black.

 

The stillen lip is touted as a "functional part", i.e. it provides actual downforce. In addition to the bolts and 3m tape holding it on, the turnbuckles are supposed to keep the lip from ripping itself off the car.

 

Ah, I see. So there would actually be downforce pushing down on the front bumper/lip/front of car.

So, you wouldn't want to depend on a couple screws and some double sided tape.

Nice to install parts that look good AND serve a purpose.

 

Looking good man...

 

True, its functional, it also deflects small road pebbles right to the bumper, you might consider 3M clear bra on the bumper.

 

Nice headlights.

 

Thanks guys ya I like the look of the turnbuckles it just adds a little but to the front end

 

Thanks man, just a pain removing the lense to get in there but well worth it

 

Thanks for posting this. I have been conteplating this for a while but really want a CF one to go with the diffuser I have. Might just get this one after seeing yours and wrap it.

 

Thanks carbon fiber would look sweet to though

 

That looks pretty good OP

the "stabilizers" or "turnbuckles"...whichever name you call them make the front end look so aggressive.

Thanks man

 

Thanks for sharing

 

Nice! But I have seen people put it on without the turnbuckles. Looks much better that way, hear that you just have to drill them in real good to be safe.
