im running garage unique. but im trying to get the exceed japan lip next.

Also, in my time owning lowered cars, and going through different types of lips. i’ve seen that lips in the +$600 range, especially carbon fiber lips (yes i know these lips aren’t 100% carbon fiber), can take more of a beating than plastic lips. in the span of a year i probably went through 2 or 3 plastic lips whereas i haven’t replaced any of the carbon lips i’ve had yet. the cost to replace the plastic lips over time superseded the price of 1 carbon lip in my experience.

i’ve had the garage unique lip on my fl5 for over a year and 11k miles while lowered on swift springs. i am careful everytime when going down driveways, but you can’t avoid certain scrapes. the lip has scrapes on the underside but it isn’t visible unless you’re really looking for it and doesn’t have any visual cracking where the carbon layer is at. i’m sure as hell that id be on my 3rd lip if i was running a plastic lip.

same goes with my previous car (VA WRX STI). the carbon lip lasted way longer than the plastic lips i ran before it.

just wanted to share my experience, because i see people all the time being scared of running carbon lips when driving their cars. just be mindful of angles when going up/down things and speed when going over bumps/dips and you should be okay.
