Where’s the Aero?

[Clark_Kent]

Project Aero lip splitter. Goes on using OEM holes with no drilling or tape required. I also got it paint matched and it just flows so much better with the car.

Very happy with how this turned out.

Very well done! Very attractive price point and use of pre-existing OEM holes are a plus.

I was really happy with the shipping time on my Project Aero lip for anyone on the fence. From Australia to the west coast in about 1.5 weeks.

I'm planning on getting mine painted as well. Might wait till late winter to install it though.

I would love to paint mine, but I don't want more gloss black on my car.

Looks great!! How much was it to color match it?

I'm in California but I was charged $300 for the paint/install/sanding.

Agree this looks awesome. Mine comes soon and I’m going to have to paint it now! Any issues getting it painted? I read that HDPE plastic can be hard to paint. Did you just take it in, or did they have to do anything special?

The paint so far has been good. The front of the lip that has an angle isn't smooth, so they sanded it so when painted it looks smooth all around.

Other than that, I daily my car and take it occasionally in the mountains. Its a lip so just be ready for some rock chips. I did hit a pinecone which did chip the paint a bit (I just put some CBP touch up paint). The lip held up so I am happy about that.

Dino DC posted a tour of the Varis factory this week on his YouTube channel. The new FL5 replacemnt bumper was shown in development at minute 21:30. They state it will be used in the Super Taikyu series and will debut at TAS in January. Looks like it will offer more airflow with additional venting being added.

I watched the same video and I’m looking forward to the debut. The inspiration came from the Mustang. Interesting.

I’m hoping the new bumper can be put on the previous FL5s…

Just came across this beautiful integrated lip from Noblesse. The idea is to make a seamless lip that integrates to the factory lip. But boi they are a bit pricy

is there a gap in the middle between the bumper and splitter? could you take a closer pic?

For me lips are an item that you have to be ok with losing. Either a curb or debris might get it, I like some because of the styling but then don’t pull the trigger because I’m concerned I might destroy it.?

I feel the same way. I wanna want to get one, but there's far too many places I go to with steep entry ways I'd cry just going to the grocery store, or the gas station. It's a tough sell. Maybe I'll just pick one up that some other poor soul lost in travel.
