And cheap enough to replace the lip if it gets ripped off. The shop is a vendor/partner so no need to worry about shipping. Will see I suppose, haven't pulled the trigger just yet will talk to them Monday.

Unfortunately not yet. Not sure if they were back ordered or what happened but parts didn't ship until the 22nd so hoping to get everything on soon after they arrive.

did you get them installed yet? i installed the sides and rear and rear side things over the weekend. sides were pretty simple and did them my self with no lift. the rear is a bit tricker and there is a decent size gap on the top of the diffuser. looks like a poor design, the taps are extend up and then bent leaving a gap. at eye view it’s very noticeable and wondering if i missed something in the install.


the two bolts do need to be bolted in, have to drill 2 holes in the plastic piece behind and annoyingly hand tighten the small bolt. nothing fits back there beside a small wrench and for some reason the bolt is extra long. took me 20 just to install the nut

Do you have pics of the fitment you are talking about? I should be getting everything on this weekend.

pics attached. taking the pics i guess it’s not as bad as it looked when installing as the rear was raised on race ramps and in my face but there is a definitely a design flaw. they should of just did straight tabs instead of raising them. as mentioned those two bolts need to be bolted down or the diffuser will flap around.

although i have the v4 lip sitting i am going to run the aeroflow lip till i rip it off. the kit flows well with the aero lip and those that are considering a full kit.

despite the negative comments about the Maxton stuff i am happy with the purchase. still the only brand that has a full abs kit on the market. during BF sales i was debating to go full carbon which would of been close to 4x the price

some instructions would of been nice specifically for the diffuser since it’s a more involved install. the manuals they link you too are generic and don’t provide much

Looking good adds some contrast. Interesting on the design flaw though.

interested to see how yours turns out. they provide some self tap screws. i didn’t use any of them and no idea where you use them.

I see what you mean with the design on the rears. The angle that leaves some when looking straight on the rear. I will say I chose the v5 lip and v4 sides / rears since they seemed way more conservative, not killing ground clearance and no winglets. Though was surprised they ended up being more aggressive than anticipated.

I’d guess again.
That’s brutal.
