Default Front lip Option

Anyone buy a front lip for base/Snmodels?

I saw a front lip on Suncoast site that looks interesting.

I saw this last year on Suncoast's site, be sure to read the reviews left there before you decide on it.

Also if you wanted to do any off-roading it would certainly diminish the approach angle of the Macan to some degree. Might also be an issue for steep driveway approach angles?

Can't say I've ever seen one actually installed on a Macan. Seems like a rare option/accessory (maybe for some of the reasons mentioned in the reviews at Suncoast?) .

Thanks - I read the reviews... front lips are usually straight forward and don't come with instructions... I think this lip is standard on the 2019 Macans as I noticed they have a similar lip

Pretty cool looking but not for me for $540 plus shipping. I'll put that money toward the next set of tires OR scheduled maintenance. Just my humble opinion.

UPDATE: $570 plus S&H!

It looks too tacked on to me, but, if you like it, go for it.

Personally, I prefer the 'bulldog' look. What I would like to see is grill kits in maybe a mesh rather than the horizontal fin grills. Also, some cool mesh or fine fins to cover up the intercoolers.

I like it a lot. Doesn't look 'tacked on' to me, looks pretty integrated.
Go For It!

Looks good in black, but would look more noticeable (in a good way) painted body color.

Would be good if they made it for the turbo as well.

I believe what might look better is to paint the center front lower bumper piece the same color as the Macan. Obviously, it won't make a difference on black or darker colors. But, in red or white or blue or gray, it might make the front pop a little better.

Another design would be to do a wholesale replacement of the horizontal grill fins or slats and replace it all with a high-end honeycomb design piece and also matching pieces for the intercooler intakes (I own a Turbo).

At the very bottom of the front bumper (I'll assume everyone has this same piece) there is the flat black center piece. I've thought about when the time comes to remove the front bumper and change out the flat black grill and light covers to gloss black I'd like to have that lower piece painted the same as the body color. I think it will give a better appearance. My Mac is red. I'm not keen on the spoiler unless you're going for the whole wide body kit from Hamann.
