What lip will cover these scratches/gouges? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

FR-Slide · 03-18-2016, 09:28 AM

So, due to a fight with a parking divider that my front bumper lost, I have a pretty nasty gash in the lower portion of my passenger side. It's more than I can cover with touch-up paint, so I was thinking of just covering it up with a front lip (since the plastic bumper won't rust or anything).

Before I purchased one, I wanted to see if you guys could tell me which type/style would cover up the damage. Pics below:

I was leaning towards a CS style replica, but wasn't sure if it came up far enough on the sides to cover that. Would also like to get similar style spats and side skirts, most likely. But any suggestions are welcome

Thanks

In before totaled

And any lip that goes that high will cover it

C-West( I have it and it looks great) more pics checkout Instagram @blau99, if not then 5Axis, or Greddy.

i like Greddy(top)...C West(middle) is more like half a bumper

...Stillen(bottom) is another lip that looks nice and will cover the scratch. I found all lips in Whiteout to give you an idea of how it will look.

And i hope that car wasn't lowered. In such case i also would advise getting back to stock ground clearance to reduce chances of damaging underside/bumpers.

Thanks! I agree, both Greddy and C West are WAY too big/intrusive for my tastes, and I definitely don't want to bother with paint matching. The Stillen isn't bad, but I just really want to avoid paint matching on 3 year old white, and having something else that I'm afraid of scratching up, since this is my DD.

That's why I was hoping that one of the CS or HT Auto styles would cover it adequately. Looking like it may be just short, though.

Was a test run. I run LED DRLs which throw basically nothing for high beams, so I blacked the housing for aesthetics. Wanted to see if I liked the "eye" look of the projectors still chrome.

I'm blacking out the entire housing next time I have a free weekend. But you're right, if I had intended to keep the high beams, it is backwards!

Approaching your car from the drivers side will cover that up free of charge.
