It’s actually a broken max velocity gtr lip that I trimmed into a lip. Then I hit a chunk of ice pulling out of a parking spot and it broke the middle of it almost perfectly symmetrical to look like a splitter.:lol
I’m throwing some ddm velocitys on next week though.
Thanks for the comments guys

No worries man, I’ve got a bunch of e36/ e34 stuff here, so if you need anything else let me know… :thumbup
I know the feeling… I banged up my carbon Reiger splitter and cracked my bumper about a week after I installed them. The roads around here are like an artillery range. ☹

Stance looks great, but I have to ask what it’s like driving a car that low? Do you ever get out of first gear? Makes me think twice about lowering mine…

Do I ever get out of first gear? lol I rip this thing sideways… It’s all about proper suspension. My car rides better dumped to the ground on GCs than it did at a stock height with teins.
