Is this possible?

Anyone have pic? Preferably on a white car.

Thanks!

I assume you're talking about the front spoiler/lip?

It should be. Pics of the splitter by itself looks like it has notches to drill underside of bumper

I hate the CF covers

this has been discussed to death. the answer is yes, but there is an ostensible gap between the bottom of the factory splitters and the lip. The carbon fiber splitters are slightly taller compared to the factory originals.

Got it. I've been active online, but didn't really get it. You explained it best. Means it's a no go for me. I don't like gaps. Thanks!

Agree. Clean. Closest so far (in my opinion) is the Vorsteiner.

glad to hear I'm not alone. I've always thought they look like tacked on plastic bits (which is what they are, really). adding superfluous lightweight parts kind of makes me laugh.

IMO they fit to a light colored car. The front looks cleaner becomes more aggressive.

I find that the CF splitters with a black lip make the front of the car look "empty", especially on a light car.

I would either put the CF splitters with a body coloured lip (as seen here). Or the black lip without the CF splitters.

But that is just me .

on pictures maybe.

anyway, it is a matter of taste. I am sure that an aftermarket company will release a nice(er) lip soon.

Agree. It isn't bad, but like you said, I still feel something's missing. Which is why I'm still looking for other options.

I totally agree. Even with a colored lip, the middle just looks empty. You might as well go completely lightweight and have no splitters .

I might just stick with stock for now.

now would you paint it to match the front grills that gloss black or leave it say matte or carbon fiber
just wait pretty sure in a couple months you will have more options

From a distance the carbon fibre splitters make the front look a lot meaner!
