AMS installs the APR CF lip on an 07 Sti
This past weekend I got a chance to put on the APR CF lip for my 07 STI. Previously I had an Ebay lip on the car that wasn't the greatest thing in the world. It met its demise when I decided to play Ken Block out behind the shop during a large snowfall.
Chicago Snow: 1
Ebay lip: 0
lesson learned.
In any event It was time to throw on a REAL lip. One that didn't just look nice but that might actually help the car out a little in the aero department on the track. So APR it was
The lip came packed up great and I was really impressed with how nice it looked.
I did the install on the floor to simulate what it would be like for the average guy at home (that and all 7 of our lifts were all filled up)
it looks so naked without a lip
Install was honestly A breeze. The Ebay unit required about 15 screws to get the damn thing to sit straight. Where as the APR unit had nice nylock nuts with high quality hardware to bolt it into the stock mounting points. I had the thing on in about 30 minutes tops, with only myself installing it on the ground....pretty easy install.
The results were AWESOME. It looks so much nicer then my previous lip and I could not be happier with the fitment and quality.
Here she is all fitted up.
Special Thank to APR for making a great product.

it is priced a little higher then some of the other lips out there but the fit, finish and quality of this is outstanding! money well spent in my eyes

mmmmm, I had a 300 dollar cf lip on my girls car that looked absolutely fantastic, and worked fine to my knowledge, had great fitment etc...
600 is a bit excessive, unless you're a shop and can absorb the cost somewhere...
