I DONT KNOW IF ITS A GOOD BUY, BUT YOU COULD BENEFIT FROM USING THE SEARCH FUNCTION. ALSO, YOUR COMPUTER HAS A CAPS LOCK KEY, I SUGGEST YOU TURN IT OFF. lc

I have never really cared for any of the front lips, I think it hurts the cars lines. What I am looking for and still haven't found is a front bumper that is as close to the stock one as possible but has a bigger opening for the intercooler...

you don't have to remove the TS for an oil change.. it incorporates a small window for access to the oil drain plug and you can get access to the oil filter from the wheel well.. and yes its definately worth it, the ground effects it produces are real, helps in high speed sweepers to keep the front planted.. only con is that it will likely eat into the front bumper unless you are careful and add some sort of cushion between the TS front lip and the stock bumper.. the entire unit is made out of fiberglass, only the lip portion is covered in Carbon. this is good since the bottom will sustain scrathes a lot easier..

$650 for that little thing, I don't care who it's made by, that's a stupid high price, you can get a whole body kit for that.

Actually yes you can get a whole lip kit for that. Look on e-bay. Granted it's going to be a POS, I got my kit for not too much more than that, and im sure you can find the exacty same thing that serves the same purpose for a lot less than that. Anyways, it's your car do what you want with it, but to me that's way too much money for something that small. Just my $.02

go for it, one of the nicest lips out there

ordered my Top Secret Diffuser from Japan, and yep i was told the wait is anywhere bw 1 and 3 months. I wish it was only USD $600 here in Aus

there are two versions, full fibreglass and CF. I went for the fibreglass since im going to paint it black anyway, and plus if i smack it, i can rub it back, patch up, and just respray

matching it up with V1 sides and rear, which even after painting and fitting, still work out cheaper than the TS lip.........but who cares, its hot!!!

yes but the body kit you get for $650 is a royal POS...and will cost you at least that much to make it workable.

This piece on the other hand, fits right the first time, and was designed and conceived with a purpose, rather than slobbed together in some back alley fiberglass hack shop

Yes it is expensive, I agree, but considering that any front lip that fits worth a damn is in the $400 range on its own, and this piece is substantially bigger, it's not an unfair price in the least.

just my $.02
