Default Front lip spoiler, need help

Any one has experience with this carbon fiber front bumper lip spoiler splitter? I already had a front lip body kit, thinking about add this on, how was it? (last pic is what I have now) Thanks!

Idk anything about splitters, but I think you should leave your front end as is. It looks good right now, and if you add the splitters it might look too busy. I'm also not a fan of how the sides extend past the sides of our bumper, but thats just my opinion.

It is different to say the least. Doesn't look that bad. But I like the set up you have now.

If you're really interested in the cf splitters, just pick them up, install them and see how they look. Only way to find out if you really like them on your car. If you don't like them, you can always resell them and re-install your original front lip.

Don't do it. Those splitters looks like they flare out too much to the side. It will just ruin the look of your front lip IMO.

My buddy Tim and Colleen (Heartmyis) had/have them. They're not too bad. I'd only suggest them if you have more carbon fiber. If you break or scratch them, at least they're cheap.

IMO, the F-Sport looks the best so far on the 11+ models. Definitely not feeling that carbon front lip though.

Why would you want to put carbon fiber gutters on the front of your car? Personally, I think your current lip looks good, leave it!

Agree with the general public but don't be afraid to step out of the light.
