Those with the lightweight lip.

Are those spacers on the left and right absolutely necessary for install?

Can it suffice with just the middle like a M Performance?

Yes you need them. They keep the lip firm in a horizontal position and they also attach the rear to the bumper.

just read this, making me want to order one for NYC roads!

I got 99 problems and a lip ain’t one.

Damn near... tore the area under the carbon fiber splitters and ripped the shit out of the underside.

Was enough force to bend the light weight lip.

I'd go with another for sure and body coloured to match.

So there's the big one in the middle, then 2 on either side. My lightweight lip is held in by one on either side and the main big supporting piece, so 3 total vs 5(not counting the support on left and right corners where it's drilled into the bumper)

Thanks for the response. A photo down low to see your setup would be much appreciated!

Im getting tired of scraping around and heavily considering this one for the durability and look, but all the tiny supporting spacers throw me off and would love to just use the big one in the middle...

Also I hear theres a V2? Do you know the differences?

If you zoom into the picture I posted earlier, you can actually see the one middle support piece and the 2 smaller support pieces(one on either side). I wouldn't try going for just the middle piece, at least 3 pieces to support the middle is the lowest I'd go as this lip is very thick so I wouldn't risk it just flying off at speed, but with 3 it feels incredibly sturdy.

Completely missed you posted that photo lol. Thanks and you're right. I don't mind three. It looks less busy. I've seen it with more and it's a bit much for me.

Yeah, I can post another pic if you want but I'm sure you get the gist. The lip honestly feels sturdy enough that I could probably stand on it and the lip wouldn't break before the bumper does and that's only with 3 support pieces lol

This is what I hear in terms of strength so thats good to know.
My main thing is the different versions.

Someone is selling one and it looks like it has a contoured shape towards the front.

So I really want to know the difference cause id rather get the forum sold than retail if I were:



Yours looks like the curvature is one solid cut you know?
I'm confused

I have ripped off my lightweight off my car once in San Francisco. Ripped all the plastic and everything out but the lip is in tip top shape still. I ended up going with RF Carbon for a new lip but if that breaks I’ll go back to lightweight.

I hit a bit of dead kangaroo laying on the road and cracked my CS spoiler half, but it didn't budge from the brackets and bumper. I repaired it with carbon fibre resin and had it re-clear coated and there slight line in the weave where the crack was repaired but still looks ok.

You can always repair a CS spoiler and paint it body colour or black if the carbon weave's too badly damaged.

Here's the spoiler repaired.

What kind of potholes are you guys hitting that affect the front lip?

Is lightweight lip really that much more durable than m performance?

Can you post the link pleases, I had to butcher my own lip with drywall screws to fix the minor incident I had this past week. Will need to replace if this one goes.

In NJ, they are not Potholes, but craters.. if your lucky you won't get a flat or bust up your wheels or suspension. The crater are wide from weather, bad fix jobs by utility companies..etc.. no way to avoid for there crappy roads we have.

Driving in NY is similar to driving on the surface of mars. Sometimes I hit bumps and I just think yep it's gone. Gonna have to survive on 3 wheels now.

Running the MP front lip in plastic. The extra brace it comes with makes a world of difference for the mounting. You have to really make an impact to create some damage.
