I live in Denver and have a C2S with SPASM and no FAL. No regrets on not getting it.

Simple answer to all of the many FAL discussions:

Do you believe you need ~1.4” of front lift?

If so, get it. If not, skip it.

I'm from Eagle County, I have a 7-inch culvert drop on the street outside my house. i have problem clearing it every day. my neighbor's Maserati clears also.
Curbs on the other hand can be a problem.

I am 110 miles outside of Denver. if you haven't got out to enjoy the changing of the leaves, it is easily the best time to drive in Colorado. the local PCA group
has a drive this month. I recommend going over Independence pass and having lunch in Aspen.

Porsche Colorado Springs had a drive + track day in Aspen last weekend. it's been a while for independance pass. Thanks for the reminder. I might actually join PCA. We'll see. I live at 8,000 feet so get to see some of those trees on a daily basis.

If you went to the Woody Creek track, I used to just live across the street. That is one of the toughest track to get on.

Don't have FAL and haven't missed it. I have to go slow out of my driveway, but have had zero scrapes elsewhere.
If I had lowered my car or ordered a Sport front chin, I might feel differently.

Were you able to purchase a matte black GTS lip for the SportDesign front bumper? If so, what is the part number? I can only find the primered part (at least that's the only part the dealers are telling me they can get)

Ah, is this what you ordered? The page says it comes primered, as opposed to the GTS matte black finish.
