There is a ratio between ground clearance (measured front the bottom of the splitter) and projection (distance forward of the car). For every 'inch' of height, the splitter has to extend 'this many inches' fore of the front bumper. That's a major generalization, but the ratio is pretty large, at least 1:3 (not certain). If a car is lowered enough with a massive front lip, then I don't see why it couldn't be considered a splitter.

Anything flexible or not rigidly mounted is worthless to the cause.

Ohh i get it ! But thats why i though if the Greddy one extends a bit and is secured tightly on a lowered car, then I guess a difference would be seen, right ?

Ended up delaying everything. Finally got the car back tonight. These are pics I got today before I got it back.


Looks kinda weird at first but I like it so far.

Those pics help a lot, been thinking about getting this lip. I wonder what sides and rear complement the lip. Any suggestions? I too have a brz.

Did you have any issues installing it? Hows the fitment? I'm supposed to get mine early next month.

I got the JDM TRD side skirts and paint matched sti rear aprons to go with the lip. I think it looks good.
