Thanks! I bought a carsontuned lip but havnt installed it yet. Trying to get some idea if people see the lip at all. The carsontuned one really makes the car "pop" out in person.

I see it, but its only of those things if ur a car person. Its looks stock as if it came with the car but we all know it isnt. same thing goes for my kit.

i was going to get the stock oem kit, but then i hated how the front lip towards the center dips up, i preferred one that was straight across. i scraped it towards the center today going up a garage parking, lucky for me i had a clear bra on the lip and it didnt take off the paint. gotta drive slower and more cautious now.

when you post pics of your car, please include all angles, how can you tease us with just the front

I'm interested to see how this looks on a lighter colored car. Dark colored cars hide the lines of any kit. Regardless, it looks good.

I agree with you here too, its only for us car peeps. I'll post pix of the rear soon, and see what you guys think. Also having a clear bra on a lip REALLY does help! I did the same scraped but didnt harm the lip/paint at all. Hopefully I'll have the carsontuned lip on very soon as well. Thanks for the input guys
