Front Bumper

What do aerodynamic bumper lips do? Most of us know what a car bumper does and its position on the car, while few of us may be familiar with the so-called bumper lip. However, if you are a car enthusiast or professional, this is a quiet simple item to you, isn’t it?

Next time when you are observing a car’s front, take a look at the bottom edge of the bumper, you will find a black bar-shaped plastic lip presenting a slick beamy look. This is the front bumper lip. Similarly, the lip positioned on the car’s rear is the rear bumper lip. The lips are actually aftermarket accessories, which are not manufactured by carmakers or originally installed on a brand new factory car. There are two key reasons for the use of these lips in automobile.

First of all, they are designed for enhancing a car’s running stability. The air under a car travels more slowly than that over the top of the car, which causes a pressure differential between the top and the bottom of the car. Low pressure at the car’s bottom gives the car an upright lift, which make the car “lighter” than what it actually weight. This causes running instability for the car. Aerodynamic lips are rightly designed to let the bottom air flow pass quickly, which in turn increases the wheel grip and down force of the car, and enables it run stably at fast speed.

Secondly, these lips are designed as exterior cosmetic accessories. You must want to feel you are driving, don’t you? Install aerodynamic designed lips which will give you a car dynamic, sporty, and speedy appearance. This nice look created by the lips will definitely restyle your car. Attention that aftermarket bumper lips generally come in black or white. However, you can paint them into any other color you like to personalize your car.
