3-PIECE FRONT LIP | 2018+ SUBARU WRX | Watch this video before you buy!

[@eliitaliaander]

Just threw my second 3 piece lip on. Figured it’s not worth spending the money on carbon and still looks good. Fitment is a little off but like you said it’s expected for $70

[@Soundahfeks]

Got mine today, thanks for the tutorial. I’m ready to install mine tomorrow

[@ronfromportland]

Thanks for watching! Good luck on the install!My suggestion would be to watch the edges since they come a little short. Other than that, it was easy.

[@krowncarnival]

I just ordered one on Amazon gonna wrap it in dry carbon to match my other carbon pieces

[@jhonyrojaszetina]

We got a subie cruise tomorrow! starting in portland we don’t know where we ending!

[@johnnyVGtran]

The finish is surprisingly good from the looks of it

[@ronfromportland]

Yeah, it’s not bad!!

[@ExperienceWithLeo]

Would it be better to pre drill to use nuts and bolts rather than self tapping? Does it make more secure? Or is there no difference at all?

[@ronfromportland]

Yes, but it’s personal preference. I ended up switching to a different front lip that I used nuts and bolts to secure. I knew I wasn’t going to keep this lip for long time so I self tapped it. Here’s the lip I have now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6bMmIB7bbGhq5I

[@rebelliousgoat1557]

Thank you for this video man!! I have been wanting to see if the 3 piece lips were legit!

[@ronfromportland]

No problem, thanks for watching!!

[@timpala55]

Looks good dude! I just got the carbon fiber one. Lots of potholes and hills and low ground where I am, don’t mind if I destroy a $60 lip!

[@ronfromportland]

Nice! Definitely a throwaway front lip but for $60, no complaints.

[@redding4540]

ABS will break if you hit anything. PU bends easily when it's hot. PP material is the best against heat and scrapes....unless you wanna go for expensive reinforced fiberglass or carbon fiber. I would just filter out PU and ABS...those are craps.

[@brenndoloco]

I got the same off eBay and only thing I didn't like was the missing 20mm on the edge of the bumper but I evened mine out each end to make it look more even on both sides. For $80 AUD I couldn't complain 👍

[@ronfromportland]

Nice! Yeah, aside from the small gap it’s not a bad lip.

[@brenndoloco]

@@ronfromportland oh yeah for sure it's a great cheap alternative and if it breaks while driving simply just buy another one 😄

[@lxndr95]

Where did you get this for $80 Aud???

[@22jeepmojave75]

I would get it for to protect against bumper scrapes if price is right

[@ronfromportland]

Yup, definitely!

[@ADMDGLS69]

I just got this exact same one on my car I got it off ebay for $39

[@moisesvazquez4358]

looks good man! just ordered one 🤙🏽

[@ronfromportland]

Awesome, man!

[@theblackmambaplague]

How did you make the yellow for the ddl? Did you have to take them apart and paint or yellow film outside/inside?

[@ronfromportland]

I just cut some yellow film I got from eBay and stuck them on the outside. I did this a few times until I was happy with the shape.

[@RicBlade37]

What’s the lip called ? Model ? I’m looking for it.

[@ronfromportland]

It’s this one right here: amzn.to/3cT6VdY

[@RicBlade37]

@@ronfromportland thanks bro appreciate your time

[@ronfromportland]

@@RicBlade37 np at all man!

[@mike112693]

is it made of fiberglass?

[@ronfromportland]

Nope, it’s ABS.

[@enertron4976]

I bought a similar one but haven’t installed yet. Do you think a screw could vibrate loose and puncture a tire? Wondering if I should use loctite or if the small screws will hold tight

[@ronfromportland]

The screws shouldn’t fall out if you make sure to not strip the plastic. I did have the same concerns so I ended up using nuts & bolts to secure my Bayson-R lip, the lip I got after this one.

[@enertron4976]

@@ronfromportland ok thanks for the advice!

[@xManstah]

Is your height level of the car stock?

[@ronfromportland]

Yes, it was stock height in this video. I ended up lowering it less than 1”. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3KxmIarfZ6Nm6s

[@wrx9494]

hi I have a question, I m thinking of putting a front bumper lip on my WRX, Will there be any problem in terms of driving condition if I install only the front lip without putting side skirt and rear bumper lip ?

[@ronfromportland]

Very good question! Unless you are building a time attack race car, you shouldn’t have any problems with installing only the front lip.

[@Kayork]

Ron also be like... installing some DSL’s on my Subbie. 👄

[@ronfromportland]

💀😂😂

[@sicksidemadness]

How long did it take before it broke?

[@ronfromportland]

Oh I ended up replacing it with something else. It didn’t break on me.

[@garydeandeery]

Had mine 2 years only the patten looked worn so I’m skinning mine

[@youngflyfella]

That looks perfect 👌🏾 dude

[@ronfromportland]

Thanks man!!

[@garydeandeery]

I had my cheap one for few years

[@ronfromportland]

Good to know it lasted a while!

[@icebreaka1969]

what are you scared of? I used to drive 91 subaru legacy without ABS, Air Bag, cable type manual transmission, I remember my shifter can hit the cup holder and knock the drinks off while shifting from 2nd to 3rd, (worn shifter bushings) and installing parts from Ebay and Oreilly(kragen auto parts), so don't be scared if you see made in china on the box, these day nothing is not made in china anyway. lol. only if that is safety related like Coilover suspension, do not get those are made in china, because you know those can kill you if it failed while you driving hard or racing. Give you a Big Thumb up for your beautiful WRX.

[@ronfromportland]

Speaking facts bro! 🔥 Thanks man!!

[@Tyler-tr4oq]

did you pre-drill holes into the car before screwing into in?

[@ronfromportland]

Not necessary since I’m using self tapping screws but it can’t hurt to drill pilot holes with a very small drill bit.

[@pr0jeykun]

Those wheels are so nice

[@ronfromportland]

Thanks man!

[@urantay]

Love my same issue on the passenger side little short

[@ronfromportland]

Almost perfect!

[@robert8tre116]

Do you think I can use double sided tape? I really don’t want to drill holes into my bumper

[@ronfromportland]

I wouldn’t trust double sided tape for the front lip. It’s constantly fighting against the wind so it most likely won’t hold up.

[@garydeandeery]

Trust me you need to screw it on and have pins to hold it up. Iv seen people driving after a show and see the splitter bend down from the wind then snap if went under the car into bits

[@XPOSING1NWO]

What type of bit did you use too drill the holes?

[@ronfromportland]

I used the self tapping screws the kit came with so I didn’t need to drill pilot holes. You can probably drill holes first with a small drill bit like a 1/8 if you choose to.

[@johnnycashh7148]

Any issues yet?

[@ronfromportland]

No issues but I eventually switched to a different lip. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6bMmIB7bbGhq5I

[@yellowbill]

I just bought a 'carbon fiber' one but from eBay same company, and it's horrible. There's at least 1-1.5 inches on each wheel well for me... Probably worth it buying a real one

[@ronfromportland]

Dang, those are huge gaps. Sorry to hear that.

[@waybach]

Dang my 3 pc lip didn’t come with any holes..

[@ronfromportland]

Probably better that way tbh. That way you’d be able to line it up better.

[@beefbmx]

Good video man. Did you just screw that directly into the bumper? And did you use self tapping hardware?

[@ronfromportland]

Thanks man. Yes, I used self tapping screws they provided directly onto the bumper. I used nuts and bolts for my other lip that replaced this one though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6bMmIB7bbGhq5I

[@waynejordan7473]

Looks nice

[@ronfromportland]

Thanks man!

[@karlcedricbarbasa9474]

For 70 bucks it looks super good.. nobody is going to notice that gap on the passenger side unless you tell them lol.. and I'm just saying not wishing, if it falls off the highway it won't hurt your pocket 😂

[@ronfromportland]

Yup! Completely agree with you!

[@passenger3]

Did you pre drill the car ?

[@ronfromportland]

For this lip, I didn’t. For the other lip I installed, I did drill pilot holes since I used nuts and bolts instead of the self tapping screws. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6bMmIB7bbGhq5I

[@apocalypse13]

Well worth 70 bucks imo

[@ronfromportland]

Yup, it honestly wasn’t bad!

[@austinmatthews255]

“It has a $70 figment” 😂 ROFL

[@ronfromportland]

😂

[@jamesbevandich9008]

Yo where are you from in Oregon? Haha

[@austinmatthews255]

As his channel name suggests; ron from portland 😆

[@joshuajohnson9383]

Nope. Not the one.
