Hi all,
I've had a badly damaged Veilside V1 Lip on my car since the day I bought it. From time to time I scrape it on my driveway and it's gotten worse. I've since bought a curb ramp and no more scraping. But now I stare at this ugly front bumper and want something different.

I've been scouring threads and I've landed on either the Aerosync N2 replica, or the Amuse rep from Shine. My question is, how much lower will my car sit in the front (if at all), with these two bumpers versus my current V1 lip?

I'm also considering going w/ the entire Amuse replica kit...my only fear would be that I'd no longer be able to put a jack under my car from the sides as I currently do. My car is already pretty low...sitting on Eibach Sportlines...which are old, and sag even more. Below is a picture for reference. Will I be too low with a full kit for any type of normal driving?

amuse replica is not really that low.

 

how would you compare the front versus the lip I already have? just curious because I love the low front I have now...don't want to go any higher but also want to keep the car driveable as it's my D.D.

 

I have the amuse front w/o the from splitter it's not that bad as well the amuse sides arnt low at all I was still able to get my jack under there worse case scenarios lay a couple 2x4 down to give you that extra clearance the ings side on the other hand. Are a pia to get a jack under. Iv never had the v1 lip so I don't know the difference.
What are you lowered on what's your drop?

 

Eibach sportlines...tires barely are up in the fender well...I'm not an expert but I'd guess 2.5-3" drop

As of right now I have approx. 3" of clearance under my Veilside Lip, which sits about 2" below my stock front bumper ('03)

I have a 'low profile' jack which sits about 2.5" off the ground at the jack point...it is still a major pain to lift the front of the car up, even without sideskirts.

I have considered buying a set of the car ramps for lowered cars...seen 'em for around 50-60$. I used to have a homemade set on 2x10"s but they were heavy and a pain in the *** to store in the garage

 

If your worried about not being able to jack up your car, just do what I do. I took a two by six and cut it to for equal pieces on length. I place the pieces where I want and drive over them. Then I slide my low profile jack underneath and do some work'

 

Amuse sits 3/4 inches lower than stock.

 

Low profile jack and wood is the way to go. Had to do that for my alignment

 

 

My old ings+1 nspec bumer was over an inch lower than the amuse.. You won't have problems with the amuse without a diffuser.. I wouldn't daily the diffuser if your slammed

 

My car's currently in paint with the new SL2 front bumper with CF splitter and diffuser.....which has more clearance than my previous setup of OEM bumper and gaudy front lip, which like yours, looks like hell after abuse.
I'm not lowered currently and due to the change, I'm excited to be soon.
Cheers

 

yeah I'm going to need a full sized picture of your avatar PM'd to me, stat.

 

How was the fitment on the SL2. If you dont mind me asking where did you purchase it from? Strafe quoted me a price and was set on ordering it.
