To some this may be a helpful hint and other's just don't like any changes made. Anyway I took the front spoiler that came with my GT2 body kit and epoxied in a 1'4 " piece of 5150 aluminium all across the front lip. Then I sent it to MACARBON and had it wraped in carbon fiber. This thing is incredably stiff. My car is not lowered but between the 12" tires and the front spoiler there is nowhere it can go down. On severe driveways it did rub but only on the aluminum rod. What I did to help was to place a 1/4" I.D. piece of gas line across the front of the spoiler that neatly fits over the 1/4' rod and I have noticed that this can actually rub on asphalt and still take the abuse without showing any damage. You can see by the photo that I am trying to finish eveything off with some rubber trim and the tubing is held on with electrical tape until I decide how I am going to attach it that looks the best.

Definitely Thanks! I had the lower body panels paint matched Speed Yellow with the front bumper, but didn't quite like how the lines worked together so then I had the lower body panels painted Gloss Black..

Appreciate the opinion

But back to the point of this tread, your setup makes for a great photo, and cudos to you photographer, Highcard your pics are always spectacular. Good Job!
Thanks bud! It's my daily driver, but I wouldn't that air suspension stuff

Ive never seen such big lips on a porsche spec LM before.
Pretty much Thanks bro!

I feel you bro..I had my fare share of scrapage when I was running the bigger lip, but I'm glad the rubber lining I put on the bottom of the lip that I got from my friends Manny, Moe, and Jack is what took the beating..That lip gave me a good idea of how low the bumper sits and what I have to do to not scrape it/rip it off..If that means reversing out of a driveway so be it

Fantastic! Is the front fenders rolled. How much more do you think you could go on the front?

Any really close up shots of the front?

I would bring the rear wheel in 5-10mm, but that's just me.
