Finally got around to installing the project aero front lip and Alplus aero guards. The lip was installed with the bumper on. Tight fit for larger arms such as mine but not the worst. Overall I really like the oem plus look. I have some pics of the gaps to the front bumper. Overall a tight fit and feels super sturdy. No concerns on mounting.

The Alplus aero guards were exactly what I wanted. Simple and barely noticeable. Quick 15 min install for both. Hopefully should stop the rocks and debris getting all in the side skirt.

Did you struggle with the 4 middle bolts/nuts that had to go on the bumper tabs? It was nearly impossible to line everything up and I even had my friend helping me.

I think I have an idea for making the install much easier and will be buying my own hardware to make it happen.

The alignment was pretty good, so no issues to much there. I was perplexed on why they have you use the shortest hardware on the middle ones that would probably benefit from a longer bolt. The length of the end bolt was just was longer than it needed to be. I guess they don't want you to see the hardware through the lower grille.

I also use this front lip. Just enough poke without being to flamboyant. Looks pretty close to being OEM. How was it backing off of your ramps?

Is this lip heavy? Seems like a really good basic lip, as others have said OEM feel.
Their ads stressed it was dense, which probably means durable, just hope it's not real heavy.

No issues at all but those are the low profile race ramps.

I didn't weight but only a few lbs at most. Heavy enough to feel durable but not too heavy.

Thanks, I may consider this. Probably contributes the least to steep driveway problems out of all the FL5 lip options, too.

THIS. After watching the G&G install video I'm very curious how this lip stands up to repeated scrapes going up and down a steep driveway. Looking to install something that can take abuse and not rip off after a couple weeks.
