Lip for Brake Ducts?
In light of it appearing that Apex will be coming out with a brake duct solution for our cars including backing plates. I am now thinking of swapping out my Tecnocraft Lip for a new lip or maybe even a more suitable bumper. IMO the stock bumper alone with brake ducts seems to stick out.
Anyone currently running a lip etc with brake ducts? I heard Challenge may also have a new lip to allow for this. (Vendors please chime in if you have any info). Edit: The GT4 Lip is too expensive for a lip IMO |

I was wondering if the holes in the hamann or 3d lips would line up.

Yup, Hamann has the holes for it.

But...would the holes line up with the front edge of the underbody tray? If not, then the lip wouldn't be of any use.
I think I am going to wait until someone inevitably dings their challenge GTS style carbon lip with brake ducts, buy it at a much lower price and then paint it.

I've wondered that too, but it appears no one has done it on here. |

I'm guessing no because I think the purpose of those openings is for aero/looks.

I'm actually more interested in whether it's a problem to run ducts without the lip. I'm sure it's more optimal with one that has built in duct holes, but what if we don't?
Also, Jay you have PM.
