Very nice. I really love what you're doing with your sportscross. I own one myself but I'm low on budget to make mods, only mods I did was lower and halo headlights lol. I'm really liking the body kit though, I didn't think it was possible to have one on our cars.
Keep up the good work! Are you going to be doing more stuff?

yea I didn't think it was possible either do to the nay sayers, but I found a way and I did it by using stock us sportcross bumpers which everyone also said wasn't possible 
far as more stuff, yes I have a few things up my sleeve I haven't mentioned. I will post it up when I get there though. As of now I'm waiting on my car to get out the body shop, I still have a who's who mountain of parts rolling to my door and then I got to get it all put on. I will keep things updated as I trinkle along

that is a trd lip so you customized yours to look like mine? Is that what you mean?? And also what flap over the mesh are you talking about? the front lip still or are you talking about the rear piece?
The pics posted are before the final product, the front is actually molded. I will have final pics up either tomorrow or Fri at the latest if they are having issues with the gas lid.
ok so I went and dug up your thread on the lip. The middle piece of mine is what's holding it up, then It's going to be molded. If you notice on your lip it sags in the middle and doesn't line up well. I've seen this not just on your car, but other trd lips as well. That's the reason why I have the piece up over the lip to prevent the sag and then it will be made flush. It just doesn't fit well enough for my ocd.
