Rexpeed R-Style Splitter

I had no luck finding any threads on this lip, so I decided to make one for those who are interested in picking one up. Had an opportunity to pick up this lip for really cheap and wasted no time jumping on it. Crappy cell phone pics inbound.

Installation: (5/10) Now, I've seen people always ask, "Do I need to remove my front bumper?" I didn't. Is it easier? Probably. This is a lot easier if you have someone helping you out with it. All you need is basic hand tools and a drill. The package comes with hardware, but no instructions. It's a pretty straight forward install though. However, there are no pre-drilled holes. You're pretty much left to use your best judgement on where you should drill. The lip has 4 holes that I believe are for recommending where you should drill, but I wouldn't rely on it because they weren't exactly easy spots to drill into.


Fitment: (9/10) I was pretty surprised how snug the lip fit. I definitely would not use the phrase "fits like a glove," but it is pretty good. Takes a little bit of pressure to get it in place and there are very small gaps on each side, but you literally have to be like 1 foot away to notice it. Now, I was told that 6 screws go on to the bottom and 2 on the back of each side where the fender wall is. Those 2 holes are off, so I just used all 8 screws on the bottom. It's holding good.


Quality: (9/10) The weave is 2x2 and looks really nice. I love how the front end of my car looks now with this. It really does add a lot to the plain front bumper. However, with the price this goes for against how much I have seen the JDP lips go for, I would expect these to at least come with some pre-drilled holes, but it's really not that big of a deal. Overall, I'm incredibly satisfied with this product.

Well they're both based on the Ralliart lip, so... they're going to look pretty similar. The differences are subtle. From what i've seen, I think the rexpeed sticks out a little further. Not sure if JDP comes in 2x2 weave either.

my JDP one was 1x1 which I sort of regretted after the fact since everything else is 2x2 on the front :/
