Default And my rear lip is . . . ?

I have the fab lip, GFX sides, and now I'm just in a dilemma over the rear lip to match this set up. The car will be lowered on s-techs with 19" S5:F. And before anyone ask me to go thru threads, I have.

Really like the Tom's and Ing's rear lip but I have read that it'll give me the look of a lower rear with either of them (Is that true?)
My last option are the fab rear canards but thats my last resort. Would they fit on the GFX rear lip?

If all goes well I'll have pics up of the setup as soon as I get them. Thanks in advance guys.

I like the rear with no lip at all. The GFX rear lip doesn't seem to do much but add a line across the back bumper imo

I think the GFX lip makes a huge difference if you have an aftermarket exhaust like the HKS. It makes the whole rear end flush, instead of having the tips stick out an extra centimeter or two.

I had INGs originally in mind. Before someone posted in another thread that it'd give me a lower behind.

The Wald rear wouldn't flow with the rest of the car. And the stock and GFX is just too subtle for me.

That leaves me with Toms, would it also be as low as the INGs?

I have the fab front and rear ings on mine. Imo the rear sits too low compare to the sides and front. If I had known I would definitely go with a different rear.

I also have a rear gfx lip so I was thinking of putting that on instead.

ings rear will look too bulky for the fab front lip and yes the ings rear will be lower than you want it to be. toms or fab rears would be my choices... anything you get would be lower then the factory sides though.

the tom's will not make your rear end look lower... the underside of the lip nearly touches the underside of the bumper.

Cool, thanks for the input guys. I am leaning towards the Toms, not so much the Fab canards. I'm hoping they dont end up lower than the side/front.

Going to make a huge list

Anceltion = different choice if you're a fan of Fabulous rear, would not look good on SGM though

Element = hmmmm, looks kinda stock to me

Fabulous
= Not bad

INGS = too low

JP = would look nice

GFX = kinda boring

Tom's = Best choice I guess

Vertex = must get the full bodykit lol

WALD
= would look nice too, very similar to JP


Quick Reply: And my rear lip is . . . ?
