Default What Front Lip Looks Best With GFX Sides
Just a question for everyone what front lip looks best with the gfx sides? My gfx front lip got destroyed and I need a replacement since they discontinued the factory one. Thanks!

I think GFX sides flow well with the Fabulous lip:

A Vertex front lip looks horrible with GFX sides; I've seen it in person. The front lip hangs way below the level of the side skirts so the whole look is off.

Agreed. It definitely looks awkward.

Fabulous front does look good with the gfx sides! I looked at vertex and thought it did look too big for the gfx sides also.

I was looking at the one on nextmod I know its a fake but not sure if I can spend $700 right now. Probably be closer to $800 after paint. Good looking out though.

Fabulous lip is the way to go if you want to keep the GFX sides.
most of the other lips out there are too fat to go with GFX

I don't have it but it looks like the Five:AD Lip might flow well with the GFX sides

It's not as bad as Vertex or INGS, but the buttom still hangs ~1.5" below the sides and looks off.
