Guys and Gals,

For those of you with the front spoiler, how much lower from the ground does it stand compared to the stock M bumper? For those that want an updated link to the site, here it is:

Is this material as good or better than ABS plastics? I have hear that it is very stiff, expands and contracts with change in temperature more so than ABS, and will crack compared to ABS. OEM bumpers are ABS plastic, and I can trust that, but is FRP durable or just as good as ABS?

For $795 plus shipping between $50-$100, that's kind of expensive for FRP material. Compared to a B7 spoiler OEM, it's only $355 shipped or discounted at the dealership.

Pricey...yes. There is no other front lip available for M-Sport vehicles and I looked far and wide. Unless there is a new release since last year, this is it. It is a little stiff but if you have it professionally installed it will be fine. I have had no issues with expansion or contraction. It is beautiful and makes the car a head turner, much like when I stuff my crotch with a live bear cub.

And it hangs about an inch lower than the msport lip. If you also lower your car, it will be extremely low and will clear no curbs when parking.

An inch would bring it the the same height as my 5 er with stock suspensions and 19" Radenergie. It would never clear curb or parking stoppers. :eek: Not go mention 85% of the egress/ingress inclines around here. :bawling::bawling:

Why FRP and not ABS? That makes the decision harder.
