Flat bottomed 4G front lip?

Post by Merlin » Wed Oct 03, 2012 12:39 pm

Anyone know of a deep flat bottomed 4G front lip that isn't crazy expensive and easy to get hold of?

Not "Azectly" readily available though ;-)

Could you not make a splitter that'd fill in the void?

Yeah I could do and have thought about it. I could use garden edging or something to make a skirt. The only thing stopping me is that I somehow need to make the splitter quick release as the car needs to be able to be driven on the road. Also having a lip that is flat all the way front will give me more potential hidden mounting points.
