Actually it is not even a new design language, they are bringing back some of their original design language

No such thing as "new", just "current".

Small headlights were a thing, then they became big, now they're small again. Same for grills, pants, etc. fashion is cyclical.

Similar to confusing "modern" and "contemporary" style.

Lightweight has some better pictures of the lip on their IG from further away and without the decal like above... I think it looks pretty good zoomed out.

Tom, any idea if the Lightweights are either wind tunnel or CFD simulation tested? These would be perfect if they were functional and I could avoid destroying another $2.2k lip at the track:

They definitely are functional and nearly indestructible. Other than ACS, I don't think any company has wind tunnel data. I can show you the lip in person during your appointment next week.

Lightweight makes a really good product. I've had their front lips on both of my M4's.

Another Lightweight Spoiler installed yesterday. Very "OEM Plus" type appearance after installation is performed and compliments the side splitters nicely.
