Vorsteiner front splitter pics?

Does anyone have better pics of the rare Vorsteiner front lip? All the pics I can find are these below which while artsy, have terrible lighting and limited angles.





Thanks in advance,
Ash

Well, I pulled the trigger and went ahead and ordered the lip. Will report back here for posterity once it’s installed.

Please do! I was eyeing it but you're not wrong, the pics are hard to make out

One thing I am uncertain of is if lips that fit pre-LCI cars will also fit LCI? I assumed the changes to the front end were primarily to the top surfaces of the bumper, and that the bottom contours remain unchanged.... anyone know?

Will do! Won’t be for a few weeks since the car is on a boat right now.

I did get a reply from the vendor saying the lip will fit, so I’m hoping I’m in the clear. Either way, I’ll update this thread.

Just found this video which shows some brief but nice angles of the Vorsteiner lip on a pre-LCI car!

Great find. Love the lip and wing. I like the Mode diffuser way more though, feel like it's more aggressive.

Yeah I agree. I’m doing a mix and match to get the look I want. I went with MPerf for the side skirts, PRO rear wing, and MPE but I didn’t feel like any of the lip spoilers/splitters fit the look of the rest of the aero I’d selected. I really really like how this Vorsteiner piece has the middle notch which not only matches with the rear wing nicely but carries through the double-bubble carbon roof. Just all seems to fit.

Now I just hope the carbon itself matches enough not to stick out (roof is 1x1, MPerf is 2x2 and Vorsteiner is supposedly 1x1 although it doesn’t look that way in photos).

Well folks I've decided to sell my vorsteiner lip before even installing it. Once I got my car I decided I didn't want to lose any ground clearance up front. Link above.
