Can’t decide between these splitters, anyone faced similar challenges? :)

I’m leaning EPR since don’t want to drill into bumper :(

Cheers

It'd be good to know what splitters/front lips that are out there that use factory mounting points versus having to drill. The EPR looks like it uses existing holes. Garage Unique and Sayber look like new holes need drilled.

FWIW drilling is going to be most secure for a front lip that is more than likely going to take damage (especially if you are lowered or going to lower the car). The GU lip was far too low for me personally for any type of driving lowered on Swift. I scraped just driving down the highway.

Not sure which EPR lip you are looking at, but the EPR v-type lip (Varis rep) is going to be much more forgiving if you daily the car due to the design. However, the Varis lip drills into the bottom of the bumper, so I would only assume that EPR would fasten similarly.

Appreciate your reply bro, yes I’m looking for EPR V as my first choice. GU is second for me. I’m also on Spoin springs if it’s matter..

I would personally recommend the EPR v-type between that and the GU (purely from a drivability standpoint). Here are some pics of the underside damage to the GU lip when I decided to switch to Varis.

I have only scraped one time since switching and that was 100% my own fault.

I am opting to go with Swift+UG setup. I am also running 275 sized Conti 02 tires. Should be okay, might rub at first we shall see. Just one of the many ways you can have a middle ground for the setup you want.

I have the GU lip and am not lowered. I’ve only scraped in a couple instances but the driveway entrances to the business were angled really weird. Didn’t scrape going in but coming out was more difficult.

I didn’t drill with it. It came with plenty of hardware and self tapping screws which hold in very tight. No issues with fitment. I’d buy again but that’s just my experience.

Ya it’s all gonna depend on how the roads are in your area and how often you drive. I daily mine over a wide variety of roads and inclines/declines and value function over form lol


You are definitely the only person I heard saying this. I respect your opinion of course!
