2 much action on a stock looking car. no side skirts or rear lip to offset the super aggressiveness of the lip. i would have stuck to the fabulous lip, its aggressive, yet stock looking in a way.

Agreed. The Wald lip looks a little out of place when the rest of the car is stock. That might explain your "mixed feelings". Perhaps if you get new wheels that are more flush with the fender it will look better. And like ek9vboi said, side skirts would also help.

Though I wouldn't consider this to be a super aggressive lip, it looks great. Like the others have stated, you need to finish the kit and get wheels to get the full effect. This would IMO explain you mixed feelings.

very nice lip. i'm thinking about getting this kit also. but i really wish i could get a whole kit instead of a lip. if I really don't like what i see out there in the future then i'm thinking custom body . . .

What are you talking about...That lip looks SICK on your car. First time I see it in white and it looks really good. I might have to give Ryan at HPAutoWorks a call

I'm not particularly fond of it but it doesn't look bad at all.

looks good imo. however, it does make the front hang a little low compared to the sides. some aftermarket sideskirts should clean up the lines a bit.

Stole the words right out of my mouth.

Mixed Feeling = due to the fact that you still have OEM rims. which might be throwing it off. Nevertheless, the lip looks good. Keep going dude

same here... everytime i see the lip it reminds me of 2 giant teeth sticking down and out to the sides. but i agree with the consensus as well... finish it off with some nice wheels and the side skirts/rear.
