3. Ironically, nothing about it is light weight. The piece is rather heavy relative to a CF splitter. I believe it weighs around 6 pounds.

4. I ordered it from EAS, but did it during a sale where they offered free shipping which, if memory serves me correctly, was around $150 in the US. And it took a few weeks to arrive.

For any that are curious, EAS can you you the CF version as well. They're an official distributor do lightweight and can get you the entire line

Mine was installed by Active Autowerke. I'd be shocked if you could do it without a lift.

I took a huge chunk out of the center leading bottom edge on a pothole like 2 days after I installed it and tried to patch it up with black epoxy. It helped but it is still noticeable, at least to me. Other then that it had stood up.

Well that sucks! I guess the bright side is that it would have sucked harder if the lip had been a pricier carbon fiber with a complex shape.

Exactly why I went with the LW lip.
