C4S front lip sources??

Anyone know a good source for the C4S front lip spoiler? All I ever find is the turbo one?! I have some coilovers coming soon and need some more front end clearance; the C4S lip seems perfect for that. I'd probably just get the stock one but may consider something in carbon fiber as well if it's available.

Thx!

i think they look better than stock but as fas as "more" clearance, it's mostly an illusion lol. the front indent/recess doesn't save the sides which is where most of the scraping occurs.

it's funny, when folks see me attempting to angle 45 degrees to enter/exit driveways. they ask "wtf is that guy doin"!?

i still go with the 4s lip as i think it looks better. fleabay usually has em. ps broken scuffed cf will look worse than the oem rubber lol. just my .02

I bought an $80 aero lip on eBay and couldn't be happier. Just added HR springs, lowering the car 1". No front lip scrape anywhere so far!

I've never seen the bayson c4s lip? Are you sure its a c4s and not the turbo lip copy?

You're correct, my mistake, they make the turbo and the aero lip

i don't go fast enough for any difference to be measurable. but it's a valid question, one probably best answered at 190+

The only one I seem to find is the aero lip and turbo lip?! Anyone has a link to the actual c4s lip?

I imagine the aero lip does not provide more clearance since it just seems to stick out?

It's mainly for the center clearance getting out of my driveway. I already built some ramps but can use all the help I can get. The things you need to do to own a sports car in the US; damn monster driveways!!

I recently picked mine up from Suncoast for around $200. I like the cleaner look much more.

Yep, looks like Suncoast is one of the few sources. Roughly $180. This is the P/N in case anyone else is looking: 9965055550201C. ECS Tuning sells it as well for $175. Too bad Bayson doesn't have it.
