Carbon fiber lips are a natural choice for Subaru owners who are looking to improve the aesthetic and design of their vehicles, no matter what model they drive. But while carbon filter lips are typically installed for visual reasons, there are actually several benefits that accompany this addition to your Subaru. Here's what you need to know about how carbon fiber lips improve performance and handling on your Subaru and why you should consider installing them if you haven't already.
Carbon Fiber Lips Improve Aerodynamics and Reduce Drag
The most important function that carbon fiber lips serve on a Subaru is improving aerodynamics. Carbon fiber lips direct air around the sides and over the top of the car and reduce the air that goes under it, effectively reducing drag that would otherwise be slowing your vehicle down.Â
Reduced Drag Improves Handling, Especially at Higher Speeds
As a result of better aerodynamics and reduced drag, you don't experience as much trouble with handling while you're on the road. If you're on the road and you're turning a corner at normal speeds, you're not going to see a ton of support from your carbon fiber lips. But when you're traveling down the highway or in an area where you're able to drive faster, you'll be much better suited to navigate your environment without having to worry about airflow impacting your ability to get to your destination or reacting to potential incidents on the road.
You Also Benefit From Greater Fuel Efficiency, Helping You Save Money
Everyone is looking to save money on gas, which is why they'll invest in more fuel-efficient cars and other upgrades that will help them save money on gas prices that are either on the rise or no longer as affordable as they used to be. However, they might not think that carbon fiber lips are actually a solution that will help them in this department. The reality is that, when your car is working harder in order to get from point A to point B, you end up having to use more fuel in order to get there. Unnecessary drag can be one of the contributing factors to inefficiency and greater fuel usage, which may impact how much you're spending to drive your car. While carbon filter lips may be an upfront investment, the reduced drag that you receive when you're driving around will help your car operate far more efficiently so that you can save on gas and get to where you need to be with ease.
