There are many ways to improve the power, performance, or styling of your custom Subaru. But few upgrades will improve all three areas at once quite like a WRX carbon fiber lip. Here at JDMuscle, our team specializes in bringing the finest aftermarket Subaru parts and components all into one place. A WRX carbon fiber lip is just the start. But let's learn more about the advantages of this innovative exterior piece.
The Advantages of a Carbon Fiber Lip
Drivetrain linkages will add reliability and power to your car. Advanced pipes will sound amazing, and open up a power bottleneck, and air scoops will pipe more cool oxygen into your combustion chamber. But carbon fiber does so much more.
Styling
For starters, carbon fiber front lips look incredible. They offer your vehicle a bolder and more aggressive appearance. It is one of a small number of performance parts that advertises itself readily. People in the know will look at that carbon fiber lip and understand that it means business.
Performance
Like wings and spoilers, a carbon fiber lip works to direct air pressure against the body of the vehicle, creating a downward pressure that forces your tires to bite more deeply into the road. Spoilers do that too, of course, but a carbon fiber lip still has more to offer. Because of its shape and location, the aerodynamic lip cuts air that would ordinarily go beneath the vehicle. At high speeds, that pocket of air can make you lose control of the vehicle by lifting you off of the road. At best, it reduces control. At worst, it can spell a high speed collision. So a carbon fiber lip is really a safety feature.
Power Delivery
We mentioned drivetrains, and there's a reason for that. A good drivetrain has minimal mechanical play, allowing more power to be transferred from the engine to the transmission. At the end of the line, the final linkage is between your tires and the road. By pressing the body of the vehicle downward there is more contact and more friction between your tires and the road allowing less kinetic energy to escape. This gives you more control and better performance at the same time.

A good air lip like the 2020 STI front lip does all of these things while being both light and passive. It weighs next to nothing and draws zero power from either your engine or battery. In short, it's all benefits and no drawbacks. Many cars come with a stock front lip, but these carbon fiber models are going to be lighter and more durable. They will also probably work better with optimized Subaru aftermarket engineering. JDMuscle stocks the best carbon fiber front lips on the market. Shop for yours today!
