The sport bumper seems to get the better looking front lips

EDIT: Now that I look at that front lip more its not THATTTT bad but I still don't like it sorry.
yeah thats the same thing i thought when i first looked at it thought the bottom part is really bulky but its cheaper way than what i can fine the OEM one for so thats why i m even considering it :P

Thanks man! yea i m having doubts on the lip too but only reason why i m considering it is because of the price

There is another option which is the autokitx one but its alot of money and i wouldnt get the carbon fiber one i would do fiber glass and have it painted





If i can find an OEM one for a reasonable price i would jump all over it because i cant justify paying 300+ bucks for a strip of plastic thats going to get really beat up

Well the best deal I've found for a Journey OEM lip is $310 shipped and PAINTED... not that bad of a deal i think, I think that other lip you posted up would cost at least $250 shipped and thats not including paint.... or am I wrong?

BTW I saw that AUTOKITX's front lip and I'm not a fan sorry man I still think that bumper lip looks to "robotic" and sticks out too much, doesn't seem like it flows very well with the rest of the car but maybe I'm just biased to the oem lip lol.

I know i need/want to black out my heads but i m not confident enough to do it or possess the tools i need...
are you running any spacers in the front? I'm also running +25 in the fronts but my wheels don't seem to stick out as much as yours do...btw car looks great and don't get that ravspec front lip. it's super ugly

Thanks you!! yeah definitley wasnt cheap to get the car to look the way it is now hahah, but i would say it was worth it
any i had Car Toys do the subs for me, i just dont trust myself with all the wiring and stuff lol they gave me a killer deal cause of my roommate who got 5k+ worth of stuff put in his car and they gave a huge referral bonus and price matched the subs

Completely agree with you on the AUTOKITX stuff and its super expensive...
yeah the ravspec lip the guy is selling for 200$ shipped but its in IP so i would have to pay for the painting

and 310$ isnt terrible for a lip thats shipped and painted... stillllll thinking where did you find this price from?

Thanks!! yeah i m still deciding about the ravspec lip.... only reason why i m considering it is because of the price.

and nope not running any spacers anywhere maybe you're lower than me? thats why your wheels are tucking more?

I think the vendors name is Hybrid-det or something like that on myg37.com, under the Vendor marketplace area in the "exterior" section you should find a thread started by them I think it says something about AERO PARTS.
