Amazing how that small mod made a big difference. The spacers complement the GFX sides nicely. You can thank ^^RTIS250 cuz he made me want spacers. Now he might make me want new wheels.

Thank you and you're welcome. The sides can be deceiving in picture, but when you install them yourself you'll really see the difference.

It's definitely worth the wait and money. It's a nice subtle upgrade giving my car a slightly new look. I'll probably upgrade the front lip when I get bored of it.

I would say get the GFX lip since it will be so cheap. You can rock the GFX, then upgrade to the nextmod and sell the discontinued GFX in the furture.

I totally agree since the side skirts are very sutble. I'll probably install the rear when I get an exhaust system, we'll see.

Q&A time!

Thx. No cutting required for the front and sides. Would have installed the rear already if it was the same.

I applied the non-drill method in case I want to swap it out later. I just snapped off the tabs leaving some adhesive but that's ok. The lip is very secure but if someone wants it that bad, they can have it.

Eibach IS350 pro-kit:

1.0" front / 0.8" rear

Please see the specs on my springs above^^

I'm also running 15mm front and 20 mm rear spacers which help the wheels fill in the fender more for a flusher look.
