Tii kit vs CF Front Lip

Rockstar1487 · 03-07-2013, 03:08 PM

Hey guys! I am having a really hard time deciding if I should get the CF front lip most likely the one off of mod bargains because it maintains the sharp edges that are on the m-sport bumper. OR. if I should get the Tii front bumper and go front license plateless. I hate the fact that in NJ a front plate is required and how nice the car looks without is killer. AND I HATE that the STUPID front license plate bracket gets SCREWED into the bumper.

Suggestions, comments, and ideas PLEASE!!!

Tii Front bumper is so fresh... It will cost you 2.5x a front splitter too.

Tii bumper is a great upgrade. We dont see too many of them around. The Tii bumper paired with the sideskirts is a great package.

Might as well get the side skirts too. You could probably get a deal on paint because its 2 pieces.

only time you will be ticketed for no front plate is when you park in NYC. therefore ... mount the "extra" plate on the OEM black plastic holder - then rig up some long bolts that will stick into the front grill down low. gently put in place when parking, then just lift off and out and store in trunk when out of the 5 boroughs. works like a charm. Im on LI. there is not one damn 1%er vehicle with front plates, why should we get screwed?

Buy the lip then fill, sand, and repaint the holes in your current bumper. It'd probably be cheaper and the best of both worlds, well unless you get the Tii pieces from someone who already painted them.

Plus I'd much rather scrape a front lip over a brand new front bumper.
