About Exterior Parts

A front lip on a lowered car is the piece that makes the drop look deliberate. Skirts carry that line back, a diffuser or spoiler finishes it, and flares are what let a wider wheel live out there. All of it is here, from AWE Tuning aero to Rally Armor flaps, each tied to the body it's cut for. A base bumper and a sport bumper take different lips, so check the trim before you order.

Install method is on every listing, because that's what decides your afternoon. Lips and skirts mostly use the factory clip holes plus a few screws underneath where nobody looks. Spoilers either bolt through the trunk lid, which means drilling a painted panel, or sit on tape, which means a warm day and a clean surface. Flares screw through the fender lip on most kits.

Flares are the piece that talks to the wheel listings. A flare adds a fixed amount of coverage past the factory fender, and saving that flare on your car opens up the wheel listings to match. Until then you'll see the factory fender result with a note attached. Most lips turn up unpainted in textured black, so paint is a body shop trip rather than a checkbox.

Common questions

Will a front lip scrape
On a lowered car, sometimes, and a urethane lip is built to survive that. It's the lowest point on the nose, so it meets the speed bump and the parking block before anything else does. Take them slow and at an angle. If the car is low enough to catch on every driveway, a stiff carbon or ABS lip will crack where urethane flexes.
Do lips clip on or drill
Most use the factory clip holes along the bumper underside and add a few screws into the skin where they don't show. Splitters want support rods bolted into the bumper beam. Spoilers are the drilled one on most cars, and a taped spoiler is the exception rather than the rule.
Do flares let me run wider wheels
Yes, by however much the flare covers past the factory fender. That's the reason to fit them on a car that wants width with less offset. Once we've checked that flare on that car, save it with your car and the wheel listings open up. Before that you'll see the factory fender answer and a note saying so.
Are mud flaps worth it on a low car
Yes, if you care about the paint behind the front wheels. A wide tire on a low car fires grit straight at the rocker and the rear quarter, and that's what a Rally Armor flap is there to catch. You give up a little clearance at the back of the wheel well, and the urethane ones fold rather than tear when they find a curb.
