Post pics of front lip spoiler

Can you please post pictures of your front lip spoiler? I am interested in the one from MachV and M7 but I would like to see some other pictures and or other options out there.

Thanks in advance!

you can email the owner of duz at takayanagi@design-unit-zone.com

he's a nice guy and speaks some english. i don't know what the current currency conversion is, but it will cost you about $500 plus shipping. use bable fish to translate.

it makes a huge difference on handling above 70 mph but you have to take it easy on some driveways if your car is lowered. scrapes are inevitable.

Yeah, the sides of the lip look to be about 1.5" off the ground. Waaay too risky for me when the part costs that much.

the picture is deceptive because i was just seeing how close it came to the road bump...the lip sits higher off the ground

that's what I thought too, but i was immediately impressed by the difference it made....i really just got it for appearance, but it makes a real difference in the handling of the car...it just tracks stronger to the road and doesn't waiver and my top speeds are slightly better...for me it's well worth the money...it makes me want to explore the rear diffusers

That setup belongs to Flaco, that is not my car. I will doing that same setup to Phantama shortly

I do agree that is the best looking splitter around and designed to work with the JCW package.

Cheers,
Roberto

Home Depot "splitter" helps reduce drag at high speeds, pins the car to the ground, looks good, and only costs about $8.00. I don't know how, but with my car it added about 12 hp...

Care to detail what you did to acquire the Home Depot splitter? Pics in your gallery look pretty good; positively amazing for $8.

This is the thread. Check it out. Has everything about it...

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...diy+home+depot

(Go to Home Depot, get 9 feet of rubber garage door bottom seal, some short screws and washers [assuming you like the look] and some super strong double sided tape. Personally, I didn't like using the tape because my car was brand new, and the oil on the vinyl prevented it from sticking. Therefore I just screwed the lip on every 3 inches or so. Very nice touch. Total price is ACTUALLY about 10 bucks...sorry... )

P.S. Get your pictures up once you finish it!
