Front Splitter with a 5-Axis Front Lip
 
Hey everyone,

I recently ventured into acquiring a 5-Axis Front Lip and always wanted to make sure I don't damage the lip while driving. I am currently not lower, but I do live in San Francisco, which is full of high curbs, rough roads, and other stupid things. In the future I may plan to lower my car, but for now I am keeping the stock height.

Many have suggested going front splitter, but having a front splitter in SF is quite rough and also hard to find to properly match to a 5-axis lip vs stock front bumper. I know currently APR will custom build a front splitter for $498 + shipping, which i find really pricy since it costs as much as the lip.

Does anyone know any other front splitter options that could match the 5-axis lip? OR any opinions on how to protect the lip better in a city like SF?

It protected my front lip at this height for about 2 years, but buying a splitter just protect your lip a waste. It polyurethane so I wouldn't worry about it much.

That's how much a splitter costs. Just replace the lip when it gets damaged or live with it.

I am definitely in for all the other features of a front splitter besides just protecting the lip and bumper. I also have seen pekingduck's forum post from 4 years ago about having the splitter as well. I just wanted to see alternatives on what I could do, before really deciding what I want to do. Most of my friends are predicting that I am just going to buy the APR splitter anyways lol

Thanks for the feedback tho ":D
