have had this happen and had it repainted once, I'm thinking of having a 1/4 inch rubber skid-plate made that can be bolted to the bottom, regardless get used to bottoming out with such a long wheel-base and low front end with the lip

Hey jgoon1, do you have a pic? I don't want to lower my car but I think the stillen lip looks sick! I wanna see how it looks without a drop.

How much do you guys pay for painting the lip? Is it a project I can do on my own?

I definitely want the Stillen Lip. 7th gen looks naked without it. Also the 7th gen with lip looks soooo much nicer lowered.

How much stiffer are the Eibachs and is the drop even all around or was cutting needed? I have the sport package and ride seems comfy to me right now. Also, does anyone recommend coilovers? My car is a daily driver.

Also, as jodius asked, what is average price to get lip painted? Do you prep it before taking to body shop?

The drop is even all the way around, definetly no cutting required. You can def tell its tighter feel. Doesnt rid anymore harsh to me. Im riding the S. Def worth the upgrade and front lip is also coming for me soon.
