I get you. I wasn't a fan. After a time, I began appreciating it more because it's grown on me, and the quality can't be beaten—the weave, etc. The UK17 Lip is a great lip, for the price.

So you're happy with the weave and fitment of the uk17?!

I have seen it in person. I don't own it. Fitment and weave looked good for the price and a bit more aggressive than the m perf. I am still holding off until a few more options become available. I am either going m perf or vrs. Sterkenn is releasing their lip in a few weeks and would like to see it before I decide on my aero package.

Is their anything that will match/be kinda similar for the rear lip other than the ducktail that will go with the uk17 front lip?

I am very happy with the Unit 17 lip. It looks great. Weave and color match the standard CF perfectly IMO.

I have some minor fitment issues, but I believe it to be more installation error than anything else. Having some adjustments made, but I think if you have a solid shop install it you should be fine. Been in contact with Unit 17 and I have no issue with them or the lip. I'll get it sorted on my end.

The guys at Unit 17 are great and I'd order the lip again. Fits the aggressiveness of the car perfectly and can't beat the price. It's m performance style, but the way it should have been from the factory. It kicks the aggressiveness of the m performance lip up a notch.

Love it!

Pre-production model. Won’t be there in the production models. 👍🏼

ETA?

Thanks for the info....can you say how far forward it sticks out? I have yet to see a side view of it, and too hard to tell from head on view. Thanks!

Also, from what I've gathered it installs without any drilling or "additional"parts?

I have a video I'll upload too, but here you go this was during a test fit, but it should give a good idea of how far it sticks out

This is the UNIT17 Splitter

luckym3girlnj · 03-05-2022, 05:49 PM

And heres a video showing the splitter and how far it is out

I don't know why....but this Alpha N extensions is my favorite after "MP" front lip. I'm actually debuting which one I like more.

I see guys you don't have a pictures of them...they are deserve a special place. Very clean OEM + look

I love these but at $1k. It's a bit steep considering you can get a full lip for that.

Pics are on page 1

I agree! Should be 600$ max.
Meanwhile Mperformance lip not so perfect either. I'm talking about “incomprehensible” form on a corners. The first few days I didn't like it at all…but it grow on me later.
Meanwhile Alfa extension is completely factory look just with touch of perfection. Make the “side view” of the bumper “complete”. Which is most important point of view for me. (Because from the front almost all of them look good)

(Autoteknic selling MP lip for same price Alfa extensions. Buying “aftermarket” OEM look spoiler is even more sad for me lmao)

I like this one. OEM+ look and fills the gap a bit on the corners.

I may have to go with this option as any lip I add and I won't be able to get up my driveway.

Been happy with the Alpha-N, subtle and completes the missing area. The quality of the piece and the fitment is superb. I quite like that they are at a price point that makes people consider other lips so it's not as common.

Oh maan it loooks fantastic!! That’s how she was designed!!!! Please upload more pics for community 🙌🏻🔥

jpsimon · 03-07-2022, 07:47 AM

The perfect lip IMO would be one that is subtle on the sides like that Alpha-N but then goes all the way across and doesn’t stick out much in middle like the M-performance one. Going to hold out for more options. The 3D design one is close

Something like the RSC but with less poke from the front bumper.

jpsimon · 03-07-2022, 09:21 AM

Yeah exactly
