Default 99-01 front lip options?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a front lip to put on my 99 C2.

Anyone got pics of their setup? I was hoping to find a lip without getting side skirts, but the ones I've seen tend to make the car look front heavy and basically need side skirts to even things out.

I'd love to see what you guys are running

Thanks

I have a gt3 front lip. I thinks it looks good without side skirts.

Great thread! I am curious myself and have wondered what was available. I am looking myself but would be interested in something in carbon fiber.

Indeed, great idea for a thread. I was looking at the same thing, as I believe a front lip could really positively affect the stability at high speed.
I like the very simple EZ-Lip of DRT50!

The EZ-Lip is just for looks, I don't think it will have any, or just minimal affect the stability at high speed.

Here's mine. I think it's option 2. Easy install, great fit.

That looks like gt3 lip

This is the aero 2 which is a bit more subtle

Thats the aero2 lip. In my opinion it is the perfect lip for the 996. I think the gt3 lip is a bit much. GT3 tek is probably your only option without getting a entire bumper. The techart lip that kromdom has is for 02 and up models.

I think if that was all you were going to do, I agree. But if you're going for the whole effect, the GT3 is a more aggressive.
