Yeah, it definitely isn't an inch lower than the factory..if anything we're talkin' millimeters lower, like 3.

Is there a DIY for installing the rear? I couldn't find it anywhere.

Hmm.. looking at that pic, the difference looks minimal. Now I got to worry about the side flaring out if I angle out my car from the drive way.

Does the car with the front lip in that pic also have the sides? Can't seem to notice the difference.

Its because theres some really steep slopes in parking lots. Like at my school i have to go in sideways because i will scrape my front lip.. I did it once and from then on i learned i need to go sideways, oh yeah im running like stock everything

Theres a nice little hump from the driveway sidewalk to the street creating a dip as the car gets pulled out. I go out slow to a crawl with an angle without a problem so far.

sorry for the sort of off topic: great price ... decisions decisions

hmm i am wondering what to get. Either fab front lip or GFX lip.... Fab kit looks better, but GFX kit is such a great deal.

Anyone know how much it would cost to install the rear at the dealership? Looks complicated
