Lightweight Lip or Carbonwith sliplo for Jahre?

ONEof500 · 11-24-2020, 10:25 AM

Looking to purchase first lip for Jahre along with MP HAS I can see merits in both approaches but want to to do my ride justice.

Lightweight by a mile - IMO carbon is overrated and will get smashed up especially if lowered. Seriously, the Lightweight lip is built like a tank, looks great, and is easy to refinish - I've had more people ask me what lip I have with the lightweight than any prior carbon ones.

Also, since you're lowered and live in CA, Sliplo won't give you much protection from hitting bumps or bottoming out on the lip at speed which is typically what cracks lips in my experience.

Carbon fiber if you don't care about paying for a new lip often (w/ installation). Lightweight lip is amazing and living in CA some of the roads are horrible. Especially some driveways in LA

I have had several different lips and always find myself going back. My car is relatively low and that thing + a Sliplo can take a beating.
