Arkym Front Lip rating/review
Here is my review 1-10 (10 is highest):
Vendor: 10 (Eric from PYSPEED came through for me on this one. Product was delivered before my deadline) Quality: 8.5 (The quality of the CF lay is very good. No waves, bumps or imperfections. What bothers me is that I got the single sided CF and when they say single sided, that's what you get. The edge where the CF stops is visable on the very edges of the sides of the lip) Fitment: 10 (Considering all the waves and bends of the OEM bumper, this thing lined up damn near perfect. The big plus is that there is a lot of material underneath the lip that also connects to the bumper. You can lay double stick tape on 80% of the lip and guarantee it ain't going anywhere. When working with double stick tape, fitment is a big must and ARKYM came through on that issue.) Difficulty of installation: 6 (Bottom line up front, you need two people. I had a friend help me and by the time we finally got it intalled I probably yelled at him about 15 times "wait, wait, wait!....whoa....hold on.....up a little....oh shit!") Initially I was irritated that the holes didn't come predrilled. But after I installed it I understood why. Remember the challenges with installing and lining it up and using the double stick tape? Well, if you don't line it up perfectly, then any pre-drilled holes will no longer line up. Good call on this on by ARKYM. Overall satisfaction: 9. Other than the CF edge that is slightly visable on the sides, I really love this lip. I've had it on for about 3 days and have received a lot of compliments. I have to say it looks amazing and IMO, is one of the best looking lips out there.

Great review! If I hadn't drilled the hell out of the bottom of my front bumper already with my VRS and now Luma front lips, I would've jumped on this in a heartbeat. The fact that you don't need to drill into your bumper and can just use 3M tape and pre-existing bolts is sure to bring lots of customers.
Oh, one more thing.

I got this too! I love the look of it compared to the other lips. Make it look sporty but not extremely agressive. Fitment was perfect but lining it up is a bit tricky!
