Show your lips! Anyone installed the sportdesign lips they bought from Steve? Would like to see how it looks.

I just got my car back from getting my body kit and (SD Spoiler) put on and painted.

I'll post pics soon.

KVA, very nice pictures. The SD spoiler reminds me of an M3 or M5 spoiler but more flush. Nice garden by the way!!

KVA:

In the forth picture, it looks like there is a gap between the spoiler and trunk, where the spoiler curves. Just want to confirm if there is one.

Thanks.

Any gap you may see is simply due to the width of the 3M tape on the back and my ability to attach the spoiler to the car (not an easy task given all the 3M tape involved and centering, etc...) You need two people to put the spoiler on if you want to get it even close to looking and fitting good.

The fitment overall is excellent compared to aftermarket versions of the SD Spoiler...the fitment on those are terrible in comparison.

Thumbs up

Don't have a digital camera, so can't show you how good it looks.
All I can say, is that the fit is perfect and on mine there are no gaps noticeable.
The paint match was right on perfect (Blue Marlin).
It was done at the Sewel Lexus of Dallas.
Cost of paint $146
Cost of spoiler $350
Look of car now: PRICELESS

THANKS everyone for the pics. Too bad I didn't jump on the deal when Steve was selling them.
