Perl Carbon Front lip
Just wanted to start a quick review of the Perl Carbon Front Lip Spoiler. Great product, super light, amazing quality, and overall a good product. Looks great on the car and was not too extremely low or out in front of the car. I did not want to sacrifice the fact that this is my daily driver (wish it wasn't lol ). Looks great and couldn't be happier with the result!

While this is still low, I have yet to suffer "extreme drive-ability issues". scrapped once while turning into a dipping road, but driveways and such so far have been fine. You still do have to be WAY more careful now, it is almost annoying lol. |

Honestly I had it done, since its lowered and I do not have good ramps, or a huge garage to really mess with it, I just had it done. But, what they told me is that it was super easy, they were done in an hour. Lifted it up and put it right on.

As for scraping , i already damaged it a little bit as i have a small bump in my garage You really have to be very careful with it man! My other criteria when buying the lip was that it's fairly priced compared to other brands that ask a minimum of 1200 USD + shipping for a lip that i have 99% chance of damaging at some point ! |

You should just buy it directly from their website and they pay online and the'll ship it to you ! i have seen some other people try the e-mail method but it seems to me they don't bother replying to them !

Reviving, I really want this lip! I've been attempting to get in contact with Perl via emailing, Facebook, and website contact for the past two weeks for US shipping, but haven't received a response. Could they maybe be closed due to COVID19 over there?
EDIT: I called (using international calling card), they picked up, but quickly hung up "Gibt es jemanden, der Englisch spricht und mir helfen kann?" I really want to buy this lip Last edited by StarMan; 05-18-2020 at 12:38 PM.. |

After a month trying to get PERL to ship, I never got through to them. I used a company called MyGermany (https://mygermany.com/) and paid them a percentage to place the order for me. After payment it took 20 days for the item to finally arrive at my door steps. Best of all, I didn't have to pay the 19% VAT. My TOTAL COST (includes price of the lip without the 19%VAT, plus 10% of the item cost to My Germany for their service, and UPS Global Express Shipping from MyGermany warehouse to my US home) my total came to a grand total of $590 USD!
*Please note, I used my Travelers credit card which does not charge me for foreign transactions. If your bank card charges for foreign transaction fees then PayPal is also an option. Additionally, the exchange rate changes from day to day. I personally was not charged any sort of importation, duty taxes, nor brokerage fees by importing into the U.S. using UPS Express Saver, but there is no guarantee that you won’t get charged an extra fee from the shipping company. Item arrived with the box pretty beat up, but the contents inside of it were all safe. That said, of course the instructions were all in German; I used google translate and fine tuned the wording (plus a few notes per my personal installation experience). I have attached the English instructions in PDF format to this thread. Fitment is perfect and the quality of the lip is jaw dropping. INSTALLATION NOTES 1. Installation was pretty straight forward, but the A points (per the instructions) were the biggest pain in the royal rear end. At point A where you drill in, there is zero space to put your hands let alone a wrench. PERL gives you a flat "wedge" tool to hold the U-Nut in place when trying to tighten the 5 provided machine screws, but it took an hour just to get the darn things to aligned. 2. The two final provided black Torx screws (hole E in the instructions) need to not only screw into the bumper, but must also screw through the black plastic part that is behind the bumper, otherwise the screw will push up on the plastic part, push down on the bumper, and you will not be able to screw one of the OE screws back into the clip. Overall it took me 3 hours to complete the job. It's on there tight and it isn't going anywhere (I am not worried about it flying off at high speeds).

It's a great design and suits your car. Well done on the translation.
As weird as it sounds, I actually like ABS plastic on my mineral grey and have found a diffuser for the rear made in it. I just wish I could get the Perl design lip in the same material. Lightweight lips seem the only option if you don't want to go carbon. |
