Combining a Vorsteiner GTS Lip with Dual CF Splitters
I'm a huge fan of how the Vorsteiner GTS/GTS-V lips mold the the contours of the bumper. The issue I'm trying to resolve revolves around fitting a lip like this with the dual CF Splitters.
This looks like it'll lead to a gap along the mid portion of the lip because it's forced a cm lower due to the thickness of the CF splitters, as well as a gap along the edges near the deflectors. Has anyone attempted any fitment with a molded bumper of this style (Vorsteiner, AutoTecknic)? For the central gap I was planning to use some black compression foam, but I'm not sure how to resolve the edge/deflector area gap. All the fasteners would have to use a few washers, the same thickness as the offset made by the splitters. Maybe some kind of thick rubber matting, cut to shape? Thoughts?

I tried it. Didn’t work. I’m sure you could modify the lip enough to make it work but I had zero desire to ruin the Vorsteiner lip. There is barely any give in the lower lip. The jam also creates an issue toward the outer edge of the bumper. I will look for some pictures of my test fit.

You can, just gotta use something to cut the under part of the CF splitters (lol @ cutting a vorstiener lip). One of my friends did this with theirs to fit the cs lip and it looks great

I was thinking of that over the weekend, would be a lot of tape test fitting and dremeling off bit by bit. Any chance he/she has any pictures of it floating around? |
