Default New AP1 Owner in NC

Hello everybody,

I just picked up my AP1 last monday. It has 110K but it's in really good condttion. Only mods are lowering springs, exhaust and a front lip. I thought it was time for an upgrade from my 05 SRT4, which I had since new, and the S2k is the perfect upgrade. I love the car so far and look to meet some of you guys that live nearby! Anyone live in the Raleigh area? Also, does anyone know what kind of front lip this is?

Welcome! As long it was well taken care of 110K miles is nothing, and sorry bro, I live in California lol. Your lip, I believe, is the OEM AP1 lip unpainted. I could be wrong, but I have a good feeling it is haha

Can't tell what kind of front lip that is (maybe replica AP1? ). Regardless, congrats and welcome aboard!

Very nice.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I got it for roughly $10,500 (the SRT was worth ~7500 and I paid $3k on top). Overall it's in great condition and I love it so far. 10X more fun and nicer than the SRT. Sorry, I know the front lip is hard to see in the picture. I'll try to get a better one but I think it may be just a plain replica AP1 lip. I added more pics to the original post btw!

Welcome to the site!
I am pretty sure that is a replica 'OEM' front lip; the OEM lips came painted and are no longer available.
Also, you should find a cover for your intake. Although it may have a nice growl with the cover removed it has been found to result in a loss of power due to heat sink. Your car looks good from the pics - enjoy it!

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! I may actually end up getting a K&N FIPK in the near future so I may hold off on trying to find a lid. I guess the K&N doesn't heat soak as bad since it is somewhat separated from the engine bay? Thanks for the tip though, I never thought of that.
