Default Magicdrift Polyurethane front lip?

Hi I have been looking at some front lips for my 99 coupe. Saw the Magicdrift Polyurethane front lip for $65 and thought it is pretty hard to pass up for the price. Anyone try this yet? Opinions and pics please

Not familiar with them.
I tried looking it up to see if details about the front lip might help with a "guesstimate" if no one else had any direct info but could not find this on their site. For Chevrolet products they only showed 3 splitters for Camaros and 1 for S10 trucks so not sure if their site has not been updated to reflect this or if it is perhaps an older series.
That is a tremendous price, though.
Best wishes with this.

I have a used one. Or at least what I believe to me that splitter.





The edges are straight. It's flexible but not flimsy. I don't think it's a functional piece. If it's the aesthetics your after it's probably worth that price. I got mine used to test ground clearance. It's hard to get in and out of my driveway and I'm not building a splitter only to tare it off.

If you go with that product, please post up a review of it - fit, finish, ease of installation, etc.

yea that looks like the lip to me. I was going to put a link up but it was really long so if someone wants me to I will. I think i will go ahead and order one and put it on in about a month. I will definitely let everyone know how it is.

post several pics. I'm unconcerned with function, but I do like the aesthetics of the lip.

I've got one. After having it in my hands I just couldn't bring myself to put it on. Your front bumper cover has to be perfectly straight in the bottom and mine is not. The splitter has no strength at all and depends on the attachment to the bumper cover to keep it straight. I was also concerned it would start to sag from heat on hot days and wind hitting it. I'll make you a deal if you want it.

That's the lip the original owner of my vette put on. It's got a bend in it since I bought the car. Eventually I'll have a free day with good weather and I'll take it off & take a heat gun to it to flatten it back out.

I bought one as well since in the pictures it looked good. When I got the part it was what I expected. I ended up wrapping it in carbon fiber vinyl but couldn't bring myself to put it on the car...I'm shopping for something proper now.

this is what happens in 40* weather smoking a cone at 45-50ish mph. I told my codriver if you're going to hit a cone, hit it good. Lol he took it to heart. Seriously pass on these, they are junk.
