Easily one of my favorite angles of a ZCP AW E92

Does anyone think the front needs lowered?

I will upload an interior pic or two after I install my aluminum paddles and do a deep clean!

Will also duplicate this pic in a few weeks with a high kick spoiler and GTS lip installed hehe

I would wait to install that GTS lip before considering lowering the front. I've heard they eliminate quite a bit of clearance. I've considered both but I have an oddly steep driveway and know I would end up regretting it.

I'm right there with you. It's such a sexy look but there's one weird inclined right turn to my driveway that makes me hold off. I do contemplate doing a u turn in the cul de sac to enter from the other side, avoiding the incline, and having that sweet sweet bit of cf on the front.
First world problems, eh?

Hope you all are keeping healthy and sane.

Definitely fair point. I would prefer the lip over the very minimal lowering I would do to decrease the fender gap in the front. I should've clarified that it isn't an actual (expensive) GTS lip but GTS style from POM. On the cheaper side so I can see if it scrapes at various locations in my area. If it does, whatever it didn't burn a hole in my pocket.

Just tape a piece of wood under there and see if you can scrape it up. 🤷*♂️

Lol too funny. I looked at the plastic composite ones over carbon fiber as that's actually what the GTS uses and I would cry a little less when I inevitably scrape the shit out of it.

I went through 2 sets of expensive front CF lip; imo, get the aluminum under tray to help protect it, I got about 2.5 years out of each them. hehee.
