Little "phat" lip
 

Just finished attaching my Cupra R front lip last night. Two and a half hours on a cold garage floor—what do you guys think?

It's an universal spoiler made in Spain. I've seen them used for Audi TT's, A4's and Golf's, but never a Crossfire.

It actually fit pretty nice. The width is perfect, I had to trim the middle posts down and shave off some depth, our front bumpers are pretty short.


I ordered if from OEMPlus, (it took about 5 weeks).

Looks good....

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

I'd go ahead and give that one the seal of approval. Looks pretty darn sharp.

Nice work. :D

looks good, great job. jim

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

What did you do to mount it? I'm sure you had to drill into the bumper.

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Thanks guys. FP - I'm actually thinking of painting it body color, when I get my front wings painted the same.

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

I mounted it with fourteen #10 3/4 zinc coated bolts. All of the holes are pretty far down, don't think it should be any problem if removed. I'm thinking of using some 3M tape also if I get it painted. Might also use some metal sandwich trim clips for some extra support in a couple spots. All in all its pretty damn solid, but I'm still going to be cautious with curbs and large speed bumps.

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Looks really nice , I like it.... :)

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Fantastic job! I might even implement that as a substitute until the SRT bumpers start getting produced again...

Body color would look great, CF would look even better. Then again, I'm a CF junky. :cool:

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

I think it looks nice also. Great job!

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Very SRT-6ish. Experimentation is good. Congrats.:)

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Looks really good ... how difficult would the mod to the part be for a "non-techie"?

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Very nice............I like and I'd leave it black too!

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Hey Kim - Getting it lined-up and drilling the first hole is critical. Everything after that is really not that hard. I bet a body shop or even local mechanic could do this in their sleep for minimal cost.

Tp: I pre-drilled all the holes on the spoiler first, one hole for each tab, and make sure its centered. Just take your time. Good luck.

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Really looks quite nice. If I already didn't have a SRT nose on mine I think that I would go with that. I would leave it black on my Blaze Red though.

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

very impressive srt6ish it is

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Looks great - do you have any pics froma little distance too?

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Good job the splitter looks like it belongs there!

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

A few more pics from a different perspective. Thanks guys!

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

where did you buy that?

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

OEMPlus.com, direct links is in red, on the first post.

Tip: The actual shipping that I paid was less than what they say on the product page. I think I paid $116 with shipping, not too bad.

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Very, very nice. It's subtle, so it doesn't jump out at you like so many tacky aftermarket pieces do. I just might have to pick one of these up!

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Oh wow, I just checked their website and they're practically down the street from me!! Would nice to pick one up and not have to pay shipping!!! Just waiting on an email response from them.....................

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

I'm assuming you drilled little pilot holes in the 7 tabs on either side, then used those as a guide to drill into the underside of the bumper cover, ultimately securing them with the #10 bolts? Is that enough to keep the center section nice and secure, or did you 3M tape the two center mounts?

Any other tips/pointers/suggestions you can offer on the install? I really think I'm going to pick one of these up, and leaving it black will perfectly match my black rear diffusers.

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

No 3m tape in the center, but I'm thinking if taping and bolting latter in the future if I paint it. Its seems to be pretty solid just with the bolts.

I think the holes are low enough that you would not see them if the splitter was removed, you would have to get down pretty low, they are all behind the front body crease in the bumper. It took almost 3 hours to put it on I really don't want to take it off 2 days latter. If I do paint it I promise to snaps some pics and post them.

I might even order another one as a spare. Not sure how low the SRT bumper is but this ones got curb crack written all over it. Just a heads-up you really have to watch the parking curbs with it.

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Those last pics had me reminiscing of my days Colorado Springs with the mountains in the background. I lived in the Springs from 1989 to 1998. I have some great memories from there, and do miss it.

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

In all honesty, parking curbs should not be a problem with a Crossfire. The car is so short that you don't need to pull completely into a parking space. Heck, if you nosed in and kept your back bumper even with most SUV's back bumpers, your front bumper would be several feet away from the curb!!

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Ya I know, I just have to get use to parking back a bit.

OEMPlus should be close to you, I use to live across from the Irvine Police station about 10 years ago. I know exactly where they are located. They have some really nice stuff, the PPI Audi R8 stuff is really pricy!

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

That just looks wrong...take it off ASAP and send it to me:D Very Very cool, its uplifting to come across new ideas for these cars as it seems the aftermarket world has forgotten us.

BTW

do I get a free sticker or something for my 500th post?;)

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Nice try Ghost, I do appreciate the compliment! It was a little bit of a risk, I had no idea if this would even fit until it arrived at my front door. Good thing it worked out!

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

I like that...

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Very clean & looks like it could be OEM.

Nice job on the install too.....

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

It looks very good like OEM if you didn't know any better. BTW I never paid any attention to it but I just got the name that you use. Boy am I slow :rolleyes:

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

Looks great, nice job,,,Kim if you get one let me know ill take care of it for you.

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

I ended up doing this too. ~ 1 year ago. like it.

Re: Little "phat" lip
 

About time to get mine mounted up now that I'm past the roadster rear window fun.. any additional pointers on this?
