Measurement Request

Could any of you fine 1M gentlemen get me a measurement between these two white lines? Trying to confirm some details on lips for 1M and 1M style bumpers.

Thanks in advance!

Just measured my 1M style bumper at those points and got the same. So I'm gonna take a chance and order a 1M front lip and see how it goes.

Not sure yet. I've just been frustrated in the wording on some sites saying fits 1M and 1M style while.some say only 1M. N5Tuner site mentions theirs fitting both so I thought I'd start there. I suspected it's like the rear bumper and is only wider towards the top meeting the fenders. The rear 1M style bumper also accepts real 1M diffusers

It does seem it is wider on the ends. Not a deal breaker as I'm not scared of a little project to rework it but I thought I'd post this up. This user seems to be fine with them sticking out more. I highlighted where I'd cut, rework and lip and wrap back up in carbon. Cheers for the help guys

I think 1M style means: bumper looks like 1M but fits 135 width fenders, so narrower overall than true 1M.

Fits 1M means: 1M bumper and fender dimensions.

Correct! My concern was the dimensions between the fangs really. It seems that is the same, the sides of the bumper would just be a little wider to meet the fenders at the top of the bumper. So this seems like good news to me, other than having to modify the sides of a lip. I expected some work, it wouldn't be fun without it!

There are some sites (N5Tuner for example) that list fitting for 1M and 1M style which is absolutely true. That white one I posted is 1M style and you can see that the lip is just wider on the ends. That's a relatively easy fix for me

In my opinion the Slek front lip or the Boca Carbon GTS lip have the best look and fit. I ended up getting the Boca Carbon lip..fit and quality is perfect. Take a look:

Thanks arvinz! That looks great. How would you rate the overall fitment?

The Boca website is useless....
Frustrating experience, could not find any prices or where to buy plus links to pictures don't work ...

Fitment is perfect, no issues. Bolted onto stock holes. Pricing wise, it's about the same as the Slek lip, maybe slightly cheaper. You can't go wrong with either but I had seen a few other members that had the Boca lip and saw some close-up pics and it looked awesome.

Looks hot. I would need to order a spare due to my lack of judgement and depth perception when parking, LOL.

It's a fantastic lip...expensive, yes, very. So make sure you know where you're going and how low it will be before you drop the cash to get it.
