Athens Blue With Autokits-X Front Lip

Freshly installed today. I love how it looks now. I didn't have to use any screws as it was a tight enough fit. The bottom of the kit doesn't touch the bottom of the bumper though so even if I were to use self tapping screws as planned, there would be a gap between the bottom of the lip and the bottom of the bumper.

I haven't had a chance to measure the clearance yet but the before number was about 5.5 - 6 inches. I'm lowered on JIC Coils and my tires have been upsized to 245/275 for reference.

Install was a breeze. I had Chapperone Auto Body here in SD paint the lip. Took them a day to paint and it came out great! They even gave me some of the left over paint to use as touch up paint, a roll of 3M tape, and some self tapping screws which I did not end up using. Great place to do business with.

Enjoy the pics. I know I did!

That looks really nice. I think if you get a nice set of wheels your would look hot.

Might this become at issue at over 100mph? I am not saying that anybody ever drives that fast, but if you get the wind behind you going downhill....

Love to hear your after numbers!

Great colour and a great lip. Any thoughts on getting it molded in?

The lip looks great. They did a very good job matching it.

From my personal experience and I'm sure the OP will agree, fitment is 100%.

great color!

i really hope you're using SOME screws to hold it on and not just tape or whatever though?
