Arrow DGM Front Spoiler PR5

Hello,

I want to buy a lip to my Protege5.
I noticed that GDMs spoiler looks different from the others around, a additional part above that cover the stock bumper.

DGM Fiberglass Ducted Front Spoiler for Mazda Protégé - (#1105-F)


Onderground-Design Lip


I would like to know is anybody knows anything about it... or even better post lots of PICS.

Thanks,

the DGM lip is an exact copy of the Autoexe lip, the real deal...its supposed to have that part that goes over the bumper....

the onderground design is just a Autoexe style..... not the same as the real thing..

im painting it right now...12.5oz of basecoat was not enough to
completely cover it. hahaha. bought paint from paintscratch.com


you need to do a lot of sanding to get the egdes cleaned up...
fitment is "fair" not the best ive seen but acceptable.

if you were in Chicago, i would've just sold it to you as
its a good lookin spoiler but i kinda like it without it for maximum
clearance in the winter seasons. i didnt know it came down
so low with my eibach drop (about 14cm clearance which is
probably enough, but very close).

DGM Spoiler w/ Eibach.

I check and the clearence to my PR5 droped w/17' is about 19cm(7.2/5 inches) now.
How close to the floor it will be? "14cm - about 5.1/2 inches"
That makes the lip 5cm about 2 inches........rite?
.....I want that lip thats why i'm digging every data about it.
Later

i have the real autoexe on my car and have the onderground one that you posted a pic of above on our other protege. the real one is so much hotter. if i were you, i would go with the dgmotorsports one if your looking to save money and not get the real autoexe, since its an exact replica. check out the pics in my sig to see the real autoexe on my car. its slammed on GC coilovers so its pretty low, but i like it. on another note, i take any opportunity possible to let people know that i hate onderground design and dont recomend them whatsoever. i recieved horrible service and the lip is really bad looking. go with the dgmotorsports one, and check out my pics to see what it will look like.

i actually took measurements when i was test fitting it, so 14cm on my car with eibach prokit with 17's 205/40 tires is actual...

which is a tad on the low side for me...anyone in chicago want
mine? its perfectly sanded, test fitted, flex primed and has 2 smooth coats of 24A blue mica. $250 pickup only. i will
give you the flex clearcoat too if interested.

if noone's interested, i will finish it up and install it on my pro5.

sorry, threw out the box because i couldnt fit it and the wife that day. i had it delivered to my office... if i had the box i wouldve shipped...that's a huge *** box.

anyone else interested local? otherwise, i think im getting my
2nd can pretty soon so if no replies im going to finish up painting it and use it...which isnt really my preference but dont want $300+paint ($70) laying around collecting dust.
