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.

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
