Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these cheap front lips.

I have a couple of questions for those who have seen/bought them before. What is the fitment like? And does anyone suppose that any of these are dodgy enough to create a negative downforce type of effect?

I can't seem to find good quality brand name front lips to buy, and even if I could, I would only be inclined to get one if I was actually going to suffer by buying a cheap one.

Tell me your thoughts!

Ooh, the Gomiata one has prefect fitment, so if you have an old Ford you're all set.

Mx5 mania has some cheapo ones and the reports are good. They even have rs factory stage style ones for the nb8b.

Took me a while to follow that but when I finally did, I got a lot of enjoyment out of it!

+1 for gomiata and their level of quality.

Pretty sure you can count on the negative downforce in that there won't be any.

I bought a cheapo eBay GV knockoff 18 months ago for my race car. Fitment wasn't great but with judicious twisting and clamping, I was finally able to drill and secure it in place and make it work. It looked great and has since copped a beating on curbs and trailers, etc and is still in one piece. For the money, I'd recommend them.

EDIT: that was for an NA, YMMV.
