Does this lip fit over the OEM lip, or is the OEM lip removed? Looks nice.

That does look clean. I was going to start a thread just like this because I want a new lip for my EVO VIII.

2nd - Ings +1 (bumper cracked driving on a beach)


current setup is APR GT Front bumper

Thanks, I love them! Better angle







And as I've done several times, I highly recommend the ebay carbon fiber lip from baysonr. It was ~$350 shipped and the fit's excellent as you can see (replaces stock lip, easy self install). I can't justify spending a fortune on something that's going to get scratched up that much. This looks good and if I hit something, then it's not a huge loss.

APR cf Splitter....335 shipped....real easy to install. Just had to drill the wholes for the 2 supports. Absolutley love it, because its fiber glass on the bottom and carbon fiber on top which allows it to be a bit flexible so if you bottom out it has some give. If you do bottom out the fiber glass on the bottom protects the lip.






Thinking about one of those cf front lips and then putting the apr splitter under. What do you guys think?

Glad you started this. I've been curious for some time as to if there are any front lips that aren't carbon fiber....
