CS front lip on LCI

Has anyone used the OEM CS carbon front lip on an LCI? Someone I emailed at a dealer said they didn’t know if it would fit and recommended checking the forums. I’ve seen the rear diffuser thread but haven’t seen anything thing about the front lip.

CS lip fits no problem on the LCI. LCI has the same bumper as the CS.

RW Carbon sells one that fits. I can vouch for their quality on several pieces I’ve bought as can others in here. Prices can’t be beat either!

Awesome, thanks everyone. I didn’t think there was a difference between the LCI base/comp and CS, but wanted to be sure. I did see the one from RW Carbon as well!

Has anyone installed the OEM CS lip on the LCI? Curious how they got it to fit.

Did you purchase the CS style lip from them and install on your LCI? I'd like to see pics of the replica on a LCI car. I can't make out on RW carbon's website if the cars in their pictures are running an OEM lip, or their CS style lip. Because they look perfect.

I did not. I purchased a different one from them. But their customer service is awesome so you could call, chat, or email and I’m sure they could provide you with some information and pics

Bringing this thread back... The LCI bumper is NOT the same part number as the CS, despite looking the same. Underneath the bumper is a groove in the middle to accommodate for the CS lip that the LCI bumper does not have. It looks like either the lip will need to be trimmed in the middle, or the bumper will have a notch cut out in the middle. I'm going through this ordeal right now.

Glad I saw your post was about to pull the trigger on a CS bumper. Did you get this resolved?

I haven't yet, but I haven't devoted a single minute to getting it put on. Car has been in for mods, PPF and ceramic, and then I had it PPFed on the interior trim (piano black). Between all of that and a couple of trips, I haven't had much time to play with it. I think it can be done by just using a dremel to cut that middle notch out of the lip. It's either that or cut a notch out of the bumper which I'm less inclined to do. Once it's on I'll report back!
