iKon motorsports front lip

Does anyone have experience with this front lip? Or know of a higher quality one that looks the same?

Hands down my favorite look other than factory GFX. But concerned over the quality and reviews.

From what I've seen and heard on here, it's probably made of that DURAFLEX garbage. Some of the guys I've seen in the past had to do some custom manipulation to get it to work/fit properly. It's pretty flimsy material, as is all the DURAFLEX items out there.

iKon is typically a cheaper brand, they make things that are more affordable but these things typically come at a price of quality and fitment, a lot of times you will also see clones of their stuff for fraction of the cost, my guess is whatever factory they use is not very protective of their molds. I mainly know of them because they tend to produce carbon fiber and carbon fiber reinforced parts for questionably low prices. I guess to sum up if you're on a tight budget they might be fine but know you'll pay the price difference in work (just make sure to shop around, you can probably save some money finding lowest priced one from different storefront), but if you're looking for something to last there are better options.

I'm 100% ok with spending more if I can find someone that makes it in the same design but higher quality. Or if someone is willing to cough up an OEM GFX kit for less than a small child 😅 not really wanting to drop 1k on an Anderson composites one right now. That and these Ohio roads are rough....

Can 100% confirm that most Ikon stuff needs ALOT of work to make it fit having gone thru almost 5 bumpers till I got one that wasn't totally destroyed and could actually be worked on.
