Expert Recommendations Choosing a Front Lip for Your 2022 WRX

Your bumper is more than cosmetic. It also protects your car and increases your aerodynamics. A front lip for your Subaru can add additional benefits. At JDMuscle, we offer many 2022 WRX front lip styles to choose from.

Benefits of a Front Lip for Your WRX

There are several reasons you should consider a bumper lip for your WRX.

    • Improve Aerodynamic Flow: When you want to increase the speed and acceleration of your Subaru, drag is the enemy. A front lip reduces drag, by changing the way the air flows around and under your vehicle. This can improve your speed and gas mileage.
    • Improved Handling: WRX's are known for their great handling. A front lip can further improve the way your car handles. It does this by redirecting the air to the top of your car. This increases the downward force on your vehicle, which helps your car stick to the road and improves handling. 
    • Aggressive or Sporty Appearance: A front lip makes your WRX appear lower to the ground, which can improve its appearance. This lowered style is common on race cars, so it can make your car look faster. Depending on the design of the lip, it can also make your Subaru look sportier or more aggressive.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Front Lip

    • Universal Bumper Cover vs. Front Lip: There are two types of front lip you can consider. A universal bumper cover is a front lip that is designed to fit most vehicles. These are simple to install, but may not give you the clean look you want. Front lip covers, on the other hand, are created to fit specific vehicles. This provides you with a clean look and a secure fit.
    • Style: Some front lips have a more aggressive style, while others look sporty. You'll want to think about the look and style you are going for. You'll also want the style of your front lip to match other items you have added to your WRX. If you go for an aggressive front lip and a sporty spoiler, for example, it may affect the cohesiveness of your Subaru.
    • Color and Material: You'll also want to consider the color and material for your front lip. One option is OEM, meaning the color of your front lip will be perfectly matched to the color of your WRX for a seamless appearance. The other popular option is carbon fiber. Carbon fiber has excellent durability, and can increase the aggressiveness of your Subaru.
    • Front Lip and Kits: Do you want a front lip, or a front lip along with side skirts and a rear spat? Purchasing only a front lip is typically less expensive, but an Aero kit will provide the best aerodynamics and give your WRX a sleek and fast appearance.
    • Purpose and Performance: Some front lips are designed with appearance in mind, while others are focused on performance. If you want to increase the performance of your WRX, you'll want to choose a front lip that is designed to increase your aerodynamic flow. On the other hand, if you are more concerned about your WRX's appearance, you'll want to choose a front lip based on its style and appearance.
