Thumbs up 2004 Mastergrade CF Lip



I think this is it...i cant wait any longer for a company to make an alternative lip for the 04. I think Im goin to purchase the mastergrade cf lip but i need your opinons and advice. How much ground clearance will I be losing if i get this lip. Because this piece is carbon fiber, will it be more prone to damage if it is for example scraped because i hear some other materials can crack. I want to buy this lip but im unsure how it would look with silver side skirts and rear skirts. It seems that it would only be right to have carbon fiber skirts to go with the lip. What do you guys think? If there are any pics with the CF lip and non CF sideskirts etc please post them, it would be very useful. Thanks.

-Tony

Thats the one I am going to get for my NFR. I think its the sweetest lip on the market right now. Shouldnt lose too much in clearance. Maybe an inch at the most. Ask mastergrade to be sure.

You can get those from Mastergrade for around $350 on eBay. Ground clearance should be exactly the same as the OEM 04 lip, since the CF is a carbon copy (no pun intended). Mutlu has one on his Berlina, and I considered getting one for mine, but I ended up with black instead.

It looks good on black, but I'm an ultra conservative kinda guy.

considering it's exactgly like the OEM version, then the lip should be lower by a inch, not bad and the lip is amazing.
