Front lip with the least thickness?
 
Howdy, I am looking for a front lip to put on the Berz and the drop I have feels around 40-50mm. The height is just about perfect that I will not bottom out unless it is very uneven; for instance I back out of my driveway, rather than pull forward, but so far this is the only rough spot.

I would really like to add a thin front lip, but from photos I have seen, they look to add about a half-three quarters inch to the front, once installed.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a very thin front lip? I am looking for about a quarter-inch in thickness; it can be wide and that is fine.

Thank you!

Any of the STI or knock off STI lip kits will likely work for what you need. Most of the lip kits mount pretty tight to the factory front end. Really it is how far something like a real splitter sticks out that causes it to scrap.

If you look at the pics for the sti lip you can see how thin it actually is at the bottom as it essentially hugs the stock front end.

Check out Bayson R, they have lots of products for cheap, but good quality. Get some double sided tape (Optional). My whole lip kit was purchased from them and it fits like a glove.

With the front lip you'll want to tape the lip to the front bumper to guide yourself drilling the holes underneath the bumper. Kit comes with self-tapping screws so all you need is tape and drill. If you want to go the extra mile, lightly sand and paint, leave under the sun prior to installation to ease fitting, I didn't need to with mine.
