This past weekend I got a chance to put on the APR CF lip for my 07 STI. Previously I had an Ebay lip on the car that wasn't the greatest thing in the world. It met its demise when I decided to play Ken Block out behind the shop during a large snowfall.

Chicago Snow: 1
Ebay lip: 0

lesson learned.

In any event It was time to throw on a REAL lip. One that didn't just look nice but that might actually help the car out a little in the aero department on the track. So APR it was

The lip came packed up great and I was really impressed with how nice it looked.

I did the install on the floor to simulate what it would be like for the average guy at home (that and all 7 of our lifts were all filled up)

it looks so naked without a lip

Install was honestly A breeze. The Ebay unit required about 15 screws to get the damn thing to sit straight. Where as the APR unit had nice nylock nuts with high quality hardware to bolt it into the stock mounting points. I had the thing on in about 30 minutes tops, with only myself installing it on the ground....pretty easy install.

The results were AWESOME. It looks so much nicer then my previous lip and I could not be happier with the fitment and quality.

Here she is all fitted up.

mmmmm, I had a 300 dollar cf lip on my girls car that looked absolutely fantastic, and worked fine to my knowledge, had great fitment etc...

600 is a bit excessive, unless you're a shop and can absorb the cost somewhere...

Very nice indeed. Looks outstanding. Definitely nicer than the vlimited lip which is a bit overpriced itself

Very clean, I like how it stands out and is more noticeable than the v-limited lips. Good choice.
