Greddy Front lip - review

Here is mine, installed and painted on Evo X non SSS/Aero kit. (pardon the poor quality pix. Pix are for reference only)






REVIEW:

Manufacturer: Greddy
item: Greddy front lip spoiler
Price: (10/10) $275 shipped, unpainted, unprimed (MAPerformance)
Material: (8/10) Urethane (ie: strong plastic). highly flexible.
Includes: (10/10) Instructions (Japanese text, but clear illustrations), screws, 3M double sided tape.
Fitment: very good (9.5/10). *before painting: ensure you store in original box facing up & avoid storing in high heat areas to maintain shape integrity.* Had to put extra screws in the bottom for added sturdiness (optional, not required).
Painted by: (10/10) Devious Designs paint & body shop (Las Vegas), ~$215.

Summary: Highly recommended. I'm lowered on Tanabe df210 in the front (~1.1" front lowered). No excessive scraping. See that parking block in pic 1? I clear that, lip hovers over it like ~1/8".
Fitment is so snug even w/out the tape & screws.
No install issues. No issues reported from paint shop.
Can be installed by 1 person. Looks as advertised.


Thanks for looking! Feel free to ask questions.

thanks! it's not that slammed...heh...tanabe df210 springs provide an evened-out look (positive to near 0 rake).

looks good, I'm planning on getting one but not painting it. I get too many rock chips from the canyons runs here to deal with paint or CF.

Prolly has a full tank of gas for the back to look like that...

Mine arrived as black unpainted. Even when left unpainted black, it looked good against the white!
good luck w/ purchase. you should inquire w/ the vendor for back orders. there was a 2 week wait for mine before shipping.

Looks nice, but you need side skirts. Looks a little odd with the front bumper being lower than the sides.

I prefer urethane lips, I just don't like the styling of the GReddy. Too bad there's not many urethane options.
