not a fan of doing the whole center area black, might as well cut the whole center of the bumper out, idk just not enough contrast for me.

To those with CF fangs and want this lip...who has the guts to do what Evo-r said and cut fang cover where lip and fangs meet? to whoever would try this first. Very interested in how this would turn out whenever more lips become available, but I don't want to be the first to F that up.

i would not cut the fang, but i would trim off the top portion of the CF center lip and add black mounting tape where it meets the CF fang (fujimura rear diffuser joker black mounting tape they included would be perfect for this app ).

The line on the bumper actually matches the angle of the "fin?" on the side peice of the front lip. Fitment is 9/10. Carbon fiber center peice was about .50" short in length. Split the difference as you can see in the pictures. Side peices fit PERFECT and overall... i think it looks f*cking AMAZING!! I love it. Big ups to EVO-R for making such a clean front lip. Worth every penny. Now, ill let the pictures do the talking...

Minor fitment issue:





Side peices are molded perfectly to bumper:

Wow, so sexy. That is understated and yet adds just enough visual pop to really make the car stand out. Beautiful!

Looks awesome on black. I do think the side profile needs something to bring it together. can't wait to see what it looks like on blue

That looks really nice. I think I would like to try out the 1 pc cf lip with my cf front fang. (whenever it becomes available)

Question, all the screws goes on the bottom of the bumper right? No drilling on the front of the bumper, am I correct?

Yes all screws are on the bottom. 3 on the bottom and 1 in the wheel well on each side... 3 on the underside of the center peice.

There is a lip on the inside of the side pieces near the top to use 3M tape as well as the back side of the center piece. They send 2 rolls of 3M tape along with the screws and that stuff sticks like crazy, but you have to clean the car really good. I forgot to clean 1 side and it didn't stick for ****. I used a bug and tar remover. Safe on clear coat but stripped some of the wax off. Now they are stuck so good, i cant take them off without having to yank pretty hard on it and even then it's very difficult. (had to remove center section to split difference in shortage of length and almost couldn't get it un-stuck)

That looks great atx. I just got mine this morning. The gaps where the pieces meet are also on the FRP version, but its not too bad. You pretty much need to be a foot away to notice. It looks understated in the pics, but it's def more pronounced in person. The lip sticks out about 2".

Did you remove the bumper to install? (It would make it easier, but it doesn't look necessary)

I'm also having second thoughts leaving it unpainted after lookin at your pictures.

NO... dont remove the bumper. There are some areas where you have to put a little bit of force on the peices while you drive the screw in to get it to fit just right. It's MUCH easier with the bumper on. All i did was jack the front up and put it on jack stands so i had enough room to lay down and get a drill underneath.

One thing i know for sure that has been debatable in this thread... is if you install the sides without the center, it will look funky.

Thanks for the info. I test fitted without the center piece & it doesn't look right at all. The side pieces stick out too much, especially if your looking down. The sides look a lot bigger in person.

Can we get some far away (20 feet) shots showing 3/4 and side angles? Looks great...

Still waiting for EVO-R to PM me about a piece??? One piece, no CF. EVO, get at me!!!!
