Default Front lip and keyhole plugs

I bought a cheapo ebay lip for $60 and had friend paint it for $40. I had him paint these keyhole plugs while he was at it. You can buy them from Lowe's hardware.

The front lip isn't perfect, but serves it's purpose. Which is to cover up some scratches. The keyhole plugs made a huge difference in sideforce and backforce. I would recommend them, but only to the hardcore, you know who you are.

i would recommend against getting an ebay lip. it worked out for the OP because he had a friend who paints, but if you go to a professional shop it will cost atleast half of what an oem prepainted lip costs...plus the fitment is terrible.

I used to have an ebay lip and it served its purpose (covering up scrapes/cracks) but i am much happier with my oem lip

My buddy just charged me for the cost of paint because that's all he did. No prep work. Turned out OK though. Here's the first one I bought and was happy with. No prep work as well. It was painted for $60 by another shop.

The first one fit better I believe because it was not folded during delivery. You can fix most fitment issues with a heat gun and some double stick tape anyways. Here's the new one. There's only 6 bolts holding it on right now, I had to make my tee time last Sunday. I paid more money to golf that day than for my front lip.
