Autoexe is Urethane(flexible, paint job comes out o.k. but not that good)........Dg is fiberglass/Carbon Fiber(paint comes out real good, might crack if you hit something real hard.

Thanks for the reply!

Though, I got an additional question..
say if I drive on the street, and kinda went a littel fast on the dip (sometimes you just can't see them), and it hits my front lip..I'm guessing that won't break my front lip if I were to use dg? Instead just made few scratches on the bottom?
Also, in what case will the fiberglass break?


Thanks~

well, it would have to be to be lip a big situation for the fiberglass to break, its not going to break just with a little hit.

I picked up the DG front lip today for my P5. The quality is incredible. The fiberglass is not too thin, like other aftermarket ones, and it's not too thick. It's somewhat flexible from what I can tell by holding it, and should be able to take a few scrapes here and there.

nice ride!

Love your car RODSCALIP5! That's the exact look I've been planning for my car. This is the first time I've seen a pic of how it'll look. Very clean and very nice! I hope you're not offended if end up with a near copy of your car.

Amen!

RODSCALIP5's car is pretty damn sweet.. I'm moving in that direction with my look, different wheels, but gunmetal as well. I use his car as a guide to what looks good on the Midnight Blue P5's and he never seems to miss...

I just place an order of front lip thru dgmotorsports, hopefully I can get it in couple of days, then heading to paintshop to match my car color.

In addition, how do you install them???

Thank~

The DG lip snaps onto the front bumper. You will have to put 2 screws into the bumper at the wheelwell. Overall, the one I purchased from them fit very nicely.

I just put on my front dam like a minute ago. Though, regard the screws....I can't seem to get a hole on the fiberglass, and not quite sure where I can make a hole at.
Can anyone possibily take a picture of how their screw are like on the wheelwell?

Thanks
