If you go with Red,it better match your other body mods.
"You are going to put"...when is this gonna happen?
Its gonna be a replica.
I'm going with a genuine Veilside LIP. I don't know exactly when. I'm trying to decide which to add next...sideskirts or lip. I have INGS knock off rear bumper on now. Here's a pic.
TAIL TINTS were taken OFF and DEBADGED as well since this pic

Of all my setups that I have run that was by far the lowest, if you want my honest opinion try to go with a front bumper instead of a lip (unless you go Ings+1 LX or Wald)

The biggest problem with this lip is the center section really hangs low since it's the most forward facing section

What you could also do is just make sure you buy the FRP version and have your bodyshop stregthen it. Worst case you could have them repaint it and fix it if it starts to get really bad

Was this your car with the V1 on?
If so..looks like decent clearance



Here are a couple more shots of the V1 on moderately lowered cars..I'm trying to see *where it hangs low in the center*??





URETHANE VERSION:

Dude that photo you posted on my car was me sitting on the ground taking a photo, its not a true indication of rideheight

This is a truer indication of how low it is..

The bottom was scraped really badly, it hit everywhere even more than my V2

What I mean (which you will notice in person) is that the lip juts out in the front section of the lip as to where most bumpers will have their corners being the lowest sections

Not a true indication of lip height???
I know that pic was taken from a low vantage point ... that's the ONLY way you can get a clear picture of where the lip sits relative to the ground. It shows considerable daylight beween the ground and your lip. Like they say..a *pic is worth a thousand words*...and that pic seems to say a lot about the clearance.
Having said this..you have had first hand experience with this lip and it's hard to argue against that. I'm just trying to reconcile what you're saying with a pic you yourself took which seems to say otherwise.

I voted black, but if your sides or rears are are not (Chargespeed Bottomline, Damd, etc), then red would be alright.

I think I've made myself clear enough, best of luck
