Anyone Order or Install Extreme Online Store Parts?

They also have a splitter:



I am personally not a fan of multi-piece splitters but some may like it and the prices seem amazing

Nope, but thanks for finding them, now I have to buy the spoiler because my spouse saw it and likes it....

Not so sure I like that front lip , may have to see it in person. From the pics its not looking so hot.

I installed there carbon wing just this weekend. It had a few quirks but went on just fine. They send the wing with pre-drilled holes in 8 spots that you can mount from the factory holes too. The screws were way too long though and didn't have any spacers so most of them I didn't tighten down fully due to risking damaging the wing. The 2 on each end did thread in all the way so the wing is very secure especially with the double sided tape they provide.

I'm looking a doing the front lip too but a little worried as they don't give install instructions and it looks like you would have to drill into the front bumper (even though the holes would likely be almost underneath where anyone would see). I would be more inclined to pull the trigger if I knew the holes were in the plastic undershield vs the bumper or if they used the stock holes that the undershield connects to the bumper with. Might try to get some more info out of them before I decide.

Looks great! Thanks for the extra details about the install.

I have EOS on my corvette (side skirts and front lip) I am very happy with fitment but they are so delicate. They have a few chips and chunks missing with every speed bump. So I’m constantly pulling out the plastic welder and filling in the cracks or missing parts lol. But they are cheap in price.

Did you get any info about the front lip? I too am trying to find out exactly where the holes sit.

Yeah I actually have it sitting in the box waiting for the weather to thaw before I can get out there and test fit it against my bumper. I'll try to test fit it some time this weekend but i'm pretty positive the holes you would need to drill will be in the bumper itself but likely underneath where you would ever see them unless you got on the ground and looked way underneath. I'm toying with how I want to install it as it came with self tapping screws and double sided tape.

I just got one delivered last week. The things I notice are that none of the given screws fit the holes and drilling into fiberglass leave the potential for cracks. The screws don't appear to be self tappers, either. At least they don't have tips like the ones I'm familiar with. I've seen other Extreme online install videos and the screws for those installs are thinner and pointier. I'll be sourcing my own hardware for this one.

Hmmm mine fit the holes just fine and were the self tapping style with a pointed end. The only holes i had to enlarge slightly were the two that mate the pieces together right in the middle (they only included 1 bolt and nut for those). I think it turned out pretty good and is aggressive but not overly obnoxious.

I wanted to take more pictures as I installed it to show everyone but it was pretty cold and it's fairly straightforward. Clean area with alcohol and apply 3M double sided tape to the inside of the wing where it will make contact with the bumper. Clean bumper as well with alcohol then line each side up very carefully before applying any pressure (I only pre peeled about 2" of the 3M strips on each end) as you only get one shot to make sure they are where they need to be and meet in the middle like they should. Once they were in place I peeled the rest of the double sided tape and applied pressure I then used the bolt and nuts on the 2 middle inward facing holes so that there was no gap once they were tightened up. Then just used a drill bit the same size as the holes in the wing to make my pre-holes in the bumper. Then install the self tappers to lock it all into place.

Next my plans are to get the OEM side skirts in gloss black and call it a day with the outside. Don't want to go to much crazier as I may step up to the Type S in a year or two anyway since I really like this platform.

Awesome review. Yeah I have the oem accessories skirts and rear diffuser, so I wanted to pair this lip with it because Acura decided not to do a front accessory. I also only got one nut and 1 bolt for the middle and thought that was weird. I then picked up the black screws and noticed that they don't fit straight in the holes without force. That led me to believe that the screw set was wrong, but maybe it's not. Thanks for the update and installation tips.

Yeah I thought it was weird they didn't create an OEM front lip accessory as they usually do on most models even though sometimes they are just little left and right extensions. I felt like our bumpers were just too rounded/plain especially compared to the Type S version.

The black screws are self tappers so they are supposed to be a little larger diameter than the pilot holes in the lip and your bumper so that the threads grab and pull the wing tight against the bumper when you drill them in.
