Default What lip to go with.

Can anyone tell me what your experiences have been with the F's available lip kits? Like this....

Brand - Quality - Vendor - Wait time from payment to arrival

I want to purchase a lip, but it looks like there are many people getting screwed. Thanks in advance!!!

SargeISF another question to add that I am also curious about is: material used.

I noticed that all the lips I look at are either C.F. or Fiberglass
Are there any poly lips avalible?

I agree, this needs to get refrenced too.

subscribed since I dont know if I want splitters or a front lip now... I'd love a lip made of polyurethane if there are any out there that are "clean".

To my knowledge there isn't a polyurethane lip for the F. They're usually FRP or CF.

I took your advice, and called them up. They actually had a Lexon Carbon lip in stock, so I got it.

Ill add to this thread and my build thread on fitment, and quality.

I've had nothing but great service from carson. So, your in good hands. We should link up when I come home (Saint Lucie) in June. I'd like to see this beast in person. Keep up the great work!

I really like the AutoCouture myself. Ventross was another nice looking lip, although I believe it's discontinued. Some other options for the front are the WALD front, Aritisan Spirits, Arkym (I believe it has been test fitted and had recently had its group buy through Sonic MS), and of course the front splitters. I'm interested in the AC lip, but not sure how it would handle given I'm lowered with coilovers.

Make-Material- Where to buy -Wait time.

Wald - Carbon Fiber - VIP Auto Salon - 8-10 week wait


Lexon - Carbon Fiber and FRP - VIP Auto Salon, Carson Tuned - Sometimes in stock, if not 8-10 week wait.

I think the carbon fiber lexon will match great with the color of your car.
