whats the rear and sides you are running? ... i have the "type R" lip too, and those match pretty well. Not sure if i want to keep the type R thing, or sell my front end for something else over the winter.

Looks good. Did you get this off e-bay? How was the fitment?

I got the lip from a 3rd party.

Sherwing, the lip has about 4 inches of clearance on the sides from the ground... I think.

how was the fitment on it though? ... mine came from ABS dynamics (probabbly the same place that the ebay ones do) and fitment wasn't great. I had a body shop mold mine on to get the fitment a little better.

So the sides are out of production then huh? oh well .. give you a more unique car that way for sure.

Yeah unfortunately the company that made these went outta business. The fitment of the front lip was good for me, but it took a lot of work to install it. 3 people go hold the lip onto the car, to measure, and to screw, since I had to bend it a little to get it flush.

Very nice!!!

Understated, which is what I prefer in a kit. Flows very well with the front-end and into the sides without being "in your face".
