    seriously, there's such a lack of options for the b8.5 front lip compared to the b8, it sucks.
    Deval and Vorsteiner lips are decent but I'm not willing to pay the price, knowing at one point it will crack/scrape/break. I consider front lips as consumables. I won't even mind FRP plastic ones.
    ECS ones hangs way too low, and i'll destroy that thing in less than a month.

    I'm almost to the point of finding a local fabricator to make one my self. Such a untapped market that ECS kinda dropped the ball on.

    Are you sure they fit? I looked at something similar on alibaba but when I messaged them they said it doesn’t fit S models in North America, only S lines in Asia. But agree the market needs to open up, that’s why Deval won’t lower prices much even though so many people want in group buys.

    I agree with the poor options. The ECS lip is obnoxious.

    I know there’s at least one guy on this forum running that eBay lip (from JL motoring but I’m sure it’s the same). Can’t remember who tho

    Awesome, good options! I've heard the bay lip, you'll need to make some modifications to make it fit.

    Keep em coming!

    Looks good.. How much will it be if the shop can make another custom one? What material did you use?

    I paid $330 shipped for mine and it's wrapped in CF vinyl. I'm not sure of the material exactly, but it's very durable and the lip is thin enough to where I've never had it scrape going up/down an incline/decline.

    The guy that makes them (Ray) is on Instagram if you want to check out some of his other work. His IG name is s_factor_fabrication
