Ok, so my front lip and I don't get along too well. It has come off multiple times and been ran over once on a highway. Its been great. But a few days ago it just decided to let go at the front so the front dragged on pavement.... At 65 mph....

Needless to say the front lip is pretty beat up. One side is cracked, the other is dented in and now the bottom part of the front is cut. So my options are this.

Fix the GV style lip

Get a new GV style lip

Get an R package lip

With the R package it won't be as low so I won't hit things and I can't drill many more holes in my bumper so the R will have more support. But I don't know if it will go with the flow of the car. So, I want to hear opinions. Thanks!

I think an R Package lip would look great personally.

Is that the "rubberized" GV or the fiberglass one? I have the Touge Run "rubberized" and sure I have to be careful around here in Cow Town were it seems NONE of the entrance driveways were build with sports cars in mind. It is one TOUGH front spoiler though!

I had the R-Speed R front lip, and that was decimated by New Orleans roads. In any event I like the looks of the GV/TR spoiler, so I vote get a new one. Good luck!

If you can get a decent r-package lip for cheap I would say to go with that. But in the meantime, how hard would it be to fix the current GV style lip?

This is my GV style lip. Pretty beat up and doesn't point forward too much. Hence why I'm thinking of replacing it. Also I don't have money to afford a real one, Ebay lips ftw

Is the Lip OEM? I just got one of the ebay r-package lips. It has some ugly fitment issues, and the finish is terrible. Took me 3 hours to make it look right.

That would be so boss but, no. He just happens to be selling a lip and fishtank so I got both.

Yes this is an OEM lip and thanks for the heads up about the Ebay lip.

I think GV lips are cheaper than R-Package lips at this point.
