I actually put a "home depot lip" on the front of my 07 TL-S with the Sarona front clip (not sure what else to call it), at least til I can really figure out where to get the front lip from the white TL-S in the thread. But instead of taking it all the way around the front of the car, it's only in the middle and gets tucked under the mounts on the bottom. Only about 3 feet is actually visible.
I'll put up pics as soon as acurazine gives me that ability lol It's cheap to do and still still gives the front a slightly lower look without breaking the bank. And, might I add, it doesn't look cheap the way I did it.

Temporary front lip

Pretty sure I did this right. First time trying to post a picture on here, so bear with me! It should be a pic of the front lip that I did on mine.

Chop it down the middle, extend it having the ends 'wrap' around the sides of the rear and you'll have one great looking rear diffuser

It's not supposed to wrap around the sides it's supposed to mount under neath the bumper


Pics for reference of how voltex designed the diffuser

Yeah i know how the voltex diffuser looks.
I personally think it looks too... bulky if it sits 'properly' (could be the angle you shot the picture at though) and would look better with the sides wrapped around the rear-end. It would give it a more flush-looking fit.

Now, I understand that these diffusers were custom-made by a shop. But can anyone tell what the original lip was?

I'm hoping I could find one and custom fab it myself. Its driving me nuts trying to figure it out!

Front lip is actually from an STI. Sideskirt extensions are from a Mazda 3.

What I REALLY want to do is incorporate the RocketBunny front splitter to the TL.


Or the J's Racing S2000 Splitter. Ignore Dureflex watermark.


Been contemplating adding this to the TL:

Originally an FR-S/BR-Z splitter. But figured... it's too squared off to fit the lines of the TL.

Would you happen to know the name of the STI lip it originates from? Or any leads to anyone who would know?

I've looked all over the internet, and none of them are even similar to the lip shown here..

Crap lol

@ some point I mis-understood that the lip was from the previous generation STI, no wonder I couldn't find that SOB lol

Thanks Roger

This owner bought my exhaust. He said the splitter was from a Volkswagen (I think it was a Golf)

I like that VW splitter, if that's what it is. I wonder if any of these would fit a non A-spec lip?
