Yes I don't love the GV, it doesn't go very well with the BRG paint colour.

But I do have plans to go lower. Not clubroadster low, just maybe a 1" drop. Not on coilovers, I want to keep it comfortable.

And I spend a lot of time looking a aggressive/wide wheels haha so when I eventually make a decision on which ones I want that will change the look alot.

You could always paint the GV lip to match?

To me, there's something about the green that makes it ugly, no matter what colour the lip it is.

If you have a garage vary lip, and don't break it at some point, you're either not low enough or don't drive it hard enough lol.

I hit a large spool of water behind a speed hump at 50km/h and the gv lip pulled off but didn't break. How bad arse

If you can take a speedbump at 50kmh, youre definately not low enough. I anhilated mine driving through a deep puddle and now have big plans for it if I ever get off my lazy backside to do it.

Garage Vary lip in Black, not green, looks good to me.

The Trap lip just looks like it's "asking to be ripped off" and rip the hell out of your front bumper in the process.

It's beyond repair, however I've pieced it together enough to make a mould and hopefully improve it.
