Heres a little info on the APR
Factory fitment; installs without the use of double sided tape and uses all the factory screws that holds your OEM lip on. We installed two of these in a week with a near perfect fitment. Couple of local shop owners and many customers commented on how clean these fit on the EVO IX.

Not familiar on the street concepts one.

nope.... just the factory under tray.......then you have to remove all the screws that hold the oem lip on. I would advise you to have access to a lift.

Just jacking up the car....that's gonna be hard, it'll have to be pretty high up. If your familiar with the under tray removal, I say maybe a 30-45 minute job with a lift.

I see a lot of frustration with just jacking it up though? Still would recommend the lift. I didn't count the amount of screws that hold the lip on, but hopefully you have popeye forearms or an electric driver.....

I have the APR lip on my IX and it fits amazing and is great quality. I'll be snapping some new pics of my car tomorrow and I'll be sure to post the pics of the lip.

I have hit 120+ (actually 130) with no issues with the APR lip whatsoever on a road course. Only thing I would do different is put 3m clear bra on before installation.

I purchased APR lip from vividracing. excellent service . received it in about a week. Easy installation.
Quick word of advice. Make sure you like the aggresive look of APR lip. It sticks out approximatley 2" from the front bumper. The sides of the lip stick out also.
I didn't much care for understated look of the ralliart lip especially for the money.
Personally, I think APR lip makes the car look much more aggressive.
