Ninte CS Style Front Lip

Hi! Anyone have this? Looking at the matte black version and love the price. I know in NE its gonna get banged up, but down know about fit. Has 3M tape and 10 screws/ thats it for install.

If I user the screw can I still take it on and off. Thinking I may want it off in the winter.

Thanks for any tips!

Looked at it, don't buy that garbage, there are way better CS knockoffs out there.

And no, you're not putting a lip on and taking it off for the season with the hardware that comes with these

There are essentially 2 molds out there that I've seen, the one you were considering and most common online:



It's just a slab of CF with no mounting locations, you make your own.

This is what a real CS lip looks like, notice the difference?



So I'd look for something that resembles the OEM piece like this one:

^I've been running one of these for almost 2 years now (not the same seller since I can't find him)

The first one is thicker and doesn't look that great honestly. The second one looks more like the oem lip and fits the car much better. I have the RW carbon version and it's like the second. Who knows it might even be a rebranded version of the same lip. Like you I didn't have any issues with mine.

Appreciate the suggestions. I’m trying to stay away from carbon as I know it’s gonna get bumped a lot here and dropping 700 plus every time it breaks would be painful. I do like the slimmer profile of these though. What about the Lightweight lip? Not much cheaper, however I understand they are pretty durable.
