Front lip stabilizers
Really like the look of a front lip with the stabilizers. I noticed there are very few 1ers running this way. Reasons? I'm guessing having to drill into bumper is a negative. Just looking for input from other menbers on this set up.

It looks very "racecar", and for good reason. I don't know if people see that as something to run on the street. If you track, then by all means go for it.

That is my car. The stabilizers are necessary. I track the car and have taken it over 160mph and the splitter stays on. Any semi functional splitter will tear off without them.

Car looks amazing! I love my BSM but these 1ers in white are perfect. Im looking to add the lip and think the stabilizers make the front end look even meaner. Where do you get the stabilizers? Do they come with a certain manufacturers lip? Am I in the minority of how cool it looks and wanting to run it like this? Thanks for any insight. Again really sweet ride.

APR's own install instructions call for the support rods to be mounted to something sturdy like a steel bumper beam. Are you sure that PU with a washer is sufficient? Hate to see you lose that sweet Revozport lip.
