Went ahead and ordered the PP version for my '21 Long Range. Can I just throw down a towel and install this in my driveway or do I need to take it somewhere to be lifted?

Stock suspension?
I'm wondering how bad it is going to look with aero wheels and stock LR suspension, as it might sit pretty high up. Does anyone have some images of the PP lip on a stock SR or LR?Eibach springs
Wondering the same thing. Might be too aggressive looking with stock springs. Deciding between this and the Maxton V1I'm wondering how bad it is going to look with aero wheels and stock LR suspension, as it might sit pretty high up. Does anyone have some images of the PP lip on a stock SR or LR?
I haven’t installed mine yet. I chrome deleted one of my mirrors last weekend and still have to do the other one. The lip is next on my list. PP is a Low Surface Energy plastic and his hard to wrap. Even paint won’t stick if you don’t prep it right. I’m debating to paint it gloss black and then wrap it or just leave as is.Did you ever wrap and install your lip? My car has a similar matte black theme to yours. Trying to figure out how to best handle the lip. Thanks.

It kinda looks like crap out of the box. I couldn’t bring myself to add it to my 50k car in that form. Bummer about the wrap. I thought about paint but by the time I pay for that I could just buy a cf one.I haven’t installed mine yet. I chrome deleted one of my mirrors last weekend and still have to do the other one.

Interested as well.Has ikon released the matte carbon fiber lip with the updated holes lining up to oem holes in bumper yet?
Thank you so much for posting. The front lip rides a little high but it still looks good. Yours is almost the same setup I was planning to run, so I used MS Paint to approximate what it looks like with the 2.0 Aero wheel kit and a performance spoiler. Do you mind sharing what type and % your tint is on the sides?I have it on stock suspension with Aero’s
Mind posting a pick?I have to think the range is worse, but super marginally so. No way I'm bothering to figure that one out. Kind a like how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop - the world may never know.
My polypropylene spoiler has held up great since installing - and while I'd rather have a nice real CF one, I do feel a lot better about it every time I park near a curb\/curb stop or pull into my garage - I'm not paranoid about it all like I would with painted.
Agree, carbon fiber just looks silly on a 4 door anyways. I finally took delivery of my long range yesterday and already got almost all of the accessories installed. Last step is adding this PP lip, do you have any other pointers for installation? Do I just use a flathead screwdriver to pop the existing rivets off?I have to think the range is worse, but super marginally so. No way I'm bothering to figure that one out.

Post 162 (and the next few) - definitely use adhesion promoter - consider removing the provided tape, sanding and using your own tape as I did. yes used a screwdriver to remove the push-in clips - it should be pretty obviousAgree, carbon fiber just looks silly on a 4 door anyways.

Just my opinion re: CF, obviously a lot of people don't agree since Tesla themselves attach a CF spoiler with their top trim model and I see them everywhere.Post 162 (and the next few) - definitely use adhesion promoter - consider removing the provided tape, sanding and using your own tape as I did. yes used a screwdriver to remove the push-in clips - it should be pretty obvious
From a guy with silly looking carbon fiber on a 4 door, though so take it with a grain of salt.
