Hey guys! I got a question, how much of the front bumper does a lip cover, thanks!

 

It doesn't really cover any of it, It prolly makes your clearence a inch less or so

(old pic, puttin up clear corner pics later today)

 

Jtrain-

Is that OEM lip? Did you install yourself? I am getting one (OEM), but unsure if I have drill holes or use 3M double sided tape or both????

Thanks....

 

The front lip comes with detailed instructions, and yes you will have to drill about 5-6 holes or so...

 

I recommend it. It definitely helps to give the G's front end an edge!

 

actually, i don't think it gives you less clearance. it appears to end right at where the oem bumper ends. i installed it myself on my coupe and found no difference.

 

I have been thinking about getting the OEM front lip. I am concerned about the clearance issue. Perhaps it's not as bad, as I thought it might be.

 

Agreed and I even speculated this without ever seeing it installed (came ordered like that for me)....if anything, it makes the car look like it has a higher clearance...

 

Looks like a new OEM front chin spoiler is in the very near future for my G.

 

That is correct, I have compared mine next to another 05 and it doesn't give you less clearance.

 

Do I drill holes on the bumper (lower/bottom) or frame????
Thx...

 

you have to drill the holes into the bumper. you may want to follow the instructions and to the underside holes too for extra security. there have been a couple members who have had their front lip ripped off by parking dividers. they didn't install the underside clips on their front lip spoiler.

 

Perfect... that's what I needed to know. Thanks man.

 

how does the paint hold up on the lip? do you get numerous rock chips? thanks for any feedback

 

Good question. I hope the paint holds, since I just installed the front lip last nite. Oh and by the way, after spending a few hours under the car fussing with all the fasteners, I can tell you that the front lip only adds about 1/4 inch less of clearance. Pretty much the thickness of the plastic is what is below the front bumper. That little 1 inch tall air dam thing under the bumper sits lower than the lip. If you don't have problems scraping with that, then you won't scrape with the lip.
