Unhappy Lips

Well... for those who maybe didnt know or had contemplated doing a lip spoiler on an 08 GS....

I had order a Auto Couture Front lip for my 08 GS.. on the possibilty that it might fit the newly redesigned bumper...

I was wrong... doesnt fit at all... not even close...

so it back to the drawing board... does anyone have experice with lip kits ordered from L-tunedparts.com?? i am open to lip suggestions.... and what ever 411 you guys can give...

Thanks

The rear bumper of the 08 and the 06-07 are very different. No lip kit from the 06-07 will fit the front or rear bumpers on an 08. That's already been established for a while now.

lol you can tell without actually buying the kit that the front is totally different, who told you not to ask the almighty board

not that many kits yet, we'll just have to wait

I took a chance being that the AutoCouture Lip mounts under the bumper and doesn not go into any of the opening... that is might fit.... might bring key word... by buddy works for AutoCouture so, it did cost me anything to try it on for size.... he told me he didnt think it would fit.. but sent it to me anyways... just incase...

I saw your car passing up your shop today, nice and clean behind the other car. I would have stopped by and say whats up but again... like always I wasn't in my car. Maybe next time.

there is a reason why i still don't have body kits on my car

i think i was the first one who tried test fit 06-07 body kits on 08, it wasn't even close. i think i posted somewhere

the wait continues, unless i can't wait and get full bumper
