Is there any way to make the lip thinner? The OEM CRT lip is at least half the width of the this one. This one just looks a little chunky. I think the lines should be crisper to fit the rest of the car's lines.
Is Slek the one producing this lip? If so, when will it be for sale? HP Autowerks is in my backyard and it would be convenient for me to buy from them. Although, I thought I would have to buy from them anyways because I was told they are the exclusive distributor... More info would be great. |

Some pics after the AW stripe application and one to show thickness, I can see why people are saying its thick but in reality its not that thick. That AW stripe is 3/8ths.

Had someone walk up to Einsers car today and comment specifically "that lip is siiiick" He also commented on the quality and guessed at a price that was double what it costs. He was very impressed and asked for the manufacturers info. Quote:
Slek is producing them. They will be available soon, you can PM me for more details. Last edited by Papethova; 02-28-2012 at 07:14 PM.. |

Just seen Kirks and this is a well made product and looks great too, a lot different than the full CF piece that you see on Powerbeast's but I love it. And you still have a little room on both sides so you can still creep up driveways and what not. And the white stripe helps it flow with the rest of the car! Over all it's a great product!

Nice job.
Undoubtedly you're all excellent drivers not bumping into things. However, don't you think the white or red liner risks to be scratch prone for low sitting obstacles (speed bump, steep slope, high curbed sidewalk) ? By leaving it black, possible scratches (+ the insects summer massacre ) will be less obvious, methinks.

Below a picture of the badges of honor phenomenon I was referring to in my last post (source: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=577757 - according to Dackelone this might be MDorphn's 1M - sorry for peeking under its skirt ). Imagine the hardship a splitter has to endure when it's fit there.
In the event of a feisty collission, a carbon fibre splitter is capable of ripping apart the front spoiler connection points (screw holes) like a hot knife through butter (yup, been there, done that in my pré-///M era and defo not proud of it; I refused to take a picture of the spoiler carnage caused by a bloody high curb: swallow your pride, remove the damaged splitter, order a new one and drill alternative screw holes to fit the new splitter on the partially messed up bottom side of the spoiler).

Not a real big fan of this style lip, or better yet, "tongue" as MDORPHN called it. However, I am glad to see that our 1M community has the initiative and ability to realize products we want.
