Red face Lip Suggestions? (Track carnage inside)

I didn't want to put this in appearance/cosmetic since this is for my track car.

I ripped off my OEM SE lip and undertray on Saturday when I went off track, so I need some suggestions for a reasonably priced replacement that will bolt up to my bumper.

I'm already looking into a beatrush undertray, so that's solved.

Thanks!

I second that motion. I doubt that you are going to find anything else that will fair better in the event of a repeat incident. OEM typically looks best, IMO.

My OEM lip is toast, it's in pieces in the dirt somewhere.

An OEM SE lip is like, what, $300 from the dealership and then another $300 to get it painted?

Seems pretty expensive for some down force, when an aftermarket lip will probably function the same.

Do you plan on painting it in 14k gold? $300 for paint?

I guess you should get a CF lip then... Since your car is black, it would be a cheaper route.

I dunno, I think labor is like $95/hr and it's probably a three hour job at the least.

Your best bet is to try to find a used one in the classifieds. I just sold a CF SE lip a week ago for $175 (picked up).. The thing that costs a lot is the shipping. But yea, if you go with something brand new, you're going to have to fork up atleast $300..
