Just to bring y'all up to speed. Last week I installed my 4th front lip on my'13 BRZ.
1st was a PU CS style that lasted a good 2years, then the wife hit one too many curbs and broke it in two. Then I went with a hard plastic spliter, lasted 3 days. (and no I won't tell what brand it was).
Ordered a GV style PU 2 part splitter/lip. did not like the way it looked in person, and the one they sent me had been returned before, it had been sanded on. off it went back.
So last week I got my STI style PU lip from IKON. decent fit and hardware. the finish is horrible.(not what's important here)
Today I'm driving down an empty highway this eve. and I start hearing plastic rubbing or dragging. Couple seconds later wham, It feels like I ran over something. look in the rear view and see a big piece of black plastic in the middle of the highway. First thought was damn new lip fell off, then I was like should I pull over and inspect? Naw, not much I could do since it wasn't making sounds now. 20 min later I get home and inspect. First drivers side skirt still there, then yup the front drivers side mud flap still there, then look up front. Nope the new lip is still perfectly intact. then I notice the side marker poking out. So I pulled it out to make sire the clips are still there, and go to pop it back in and I see what made all the racket. the entire inner fender is gone. along with the flimsy front left corner portion of the under panels.
Question is have others had this issue happen to them?
Do y'all think too much turbulence at a certain speed caused a low pressure under with a high pressure from under hood area?
