No I didn't, hopefully Harold got that covered for me.

cooler/slek that lip looks great. i still wish there were an FRP version so i'd feel better about painting / re-painting it. i say this because it's very well-integrated with the M-sport bumper. (too bad it stands no chance against the crummy houston roads).

great job guys!

I'll be honest, I have already scraped mine 3+ times but that is due to me being lower than stock ride height. I think if your stock ride height you should be fine. Those scrapes were only on super big driveways when exiting. Also the scrapes were only underneath so they aren't visible.

Great news! Maybe they'll spark just one more person to join in and we'll all save a cool $47!

GB will be extended for two more days from requests of overwhelmingly number of people stating they didn't know about the start of the GB.

Shipping date for the first 10 lips will stay on schedule.

I really want to buy one, but 600$ in shipping to Norway is a major turnoff.... Fedex is overpriced internationally.... Anything HP can do?

Freight forwarder is a good way to ship overseas.

For those in Australia, that may be a good option.

+1, those in Australia should definitely look into what Oman did.

Plus imagine being the only one or few in Australia with this lip? Wish I had that option lolol.

GB has been extended for two days.

One of your fellow enthusiasts cancelled his order and really put this GB in a bad position.

Serious question: How can a CF lip like that weigh 15 lbs? Are you guys packing it with tons of newspaper?

Another more serious question ... where are all the buyers?!? I'm on this list and wanted to buy however 50$ off doesn't do squat to move me towards clicking that "buy now" button.

If more people are getting in on this, post it, so others become more interested.

The lip itself doesn't weigh much, but it's the triple layer box we use to make sure the lip arrive in one piece and without any damage that adds to the total weight. Plus it's the dimensional weight of the box that matters not the actual weight when shipping these.

If you join the group buy then only 1 more person would need to join and then everyone would receive 100$ off. Better than 50$ off.
