LIP on an INVEN FRONT BUMPER

Hi guys! I'm fairly new to g35driver, but i've been a 2006 g35c owner for about 2 years. I am not mod savvy but I did some homework about g35 mods (aesthetic mods mostly).

I'm ordering an inven front bumper from a vendor her on g35driver and i was wondering which front lip or splitter would go best with the inven front bumper!

Thanks

I think I have only seen one person run a lip on the inven and it was super low and he kept damaging it since he was slammed. I wouldn't put a lip on just because of that, its going to get caught on alot and damage easily.

Yes, I know the G you're talking about. I'm just asking about the lip for cosmetic purposes only. you'd say the Inven front bumper will do itself justice without any lip or splitter?

A lot of people run splitters with their inven, I know patman and a few others that are, including myself at one point. how low are you? the inven front sits high as a kite, a splitter will def make it look lower if you aren't lowered

Oh wow. Well I'm not low anymore, after I had my 19s installed on stock springs.
Probably going to get coilovers within a couple of months, but since you're saying a lip is goes well, which lip is nice?

^ Yeah the lip is sick looking. I have never seen an Inven in person, do they really sit that high?

It definitely makes the Inven look better. But if you're slammed, I would not recommend it.

I too am looking into getting an INVEN front with a Nismo splitter, along with a Chargespeed rear, but not sure what looks good for the sides with this combo, any help ?

Depends on which inven you bought. Some invens are known to fit better than others, some don't really need much work to get it to fit flush, others need a lot more, some have been just too bad and had to be scrapped. That's generally what you encounter with any aftermarket body piece.

If yours is just a bit off take it to a good body shop and they should be able to let you know if they can make it fit flush or not
