The list of front ends I was looking at, in no particular order or preference.

Chargespeed BRZ T1 bumper
Espirit half lip
COC style front bumper
Varis Arising II
varis Arising lip spoiler
Ings N-Spec bumper
Vis Racing bumper

Most had side duct/vent areas that were far larger than we needed and thus draggy. Weigh that against potential downforce from horizontal lip area. The perfect lip, IMO, would be the APR in hand laid FRP, better fitting with the spoiler section going all the away across, not just on the sides.

Fog light holes are too far outboard to use for brake ducts with any flow. Would be nice to have some 3" duct ports much closer to car centerline for brake ducts.
