Nice ryan definitely paint it and keep it. I knew you would get a lip before xmas and I'm glad u decided to go with something diff than the GFX. The GFX is hardly noticable IMO but this lip gives your car a little aggressiveness and still looks clean
btw didnt u have a f sport grill before????

If this were my car, I would finish it off with GFX front. But the price is ridiculous.
This will probably be a trial experience to see how it will actually turn out...I honestly can't see myself keeping this lip for more than a month or two expecially if it doesn't flow like I want it to....

SCWB: my goal was really to get the gfx for our year (09-10) however i still can't see myself paying $500 for two split pieces but who knows I might jump on it soon

yea I'm gonna see how this one is accepted by the crowd once i'm done lol....naw always had this grill but it went through a lot of phases, (plastice dip, then black pearl, then neo-chrome and now back to chrome to go with the wheels)

I actually like the black lip look, if you get a rear diffuser and some side skirt underbody add-on's also in black.

Which ebay seller did you buy it from? The fitment looks pretty good. Additionally if its not too much hassle, can you take a shot of your car from the side? Im curious to how it looks with GFX/OEM skirts

I think the black lip look makes the car look "unfinished". It really only works with aggressive pieces and with a matching theme (wheels, black hood, roof, trunk). That's my opinion anyway.

I got a small eshine.ca order in a couple of days ago. I also received my Flossy shift ****, but it seems I ordered the wrong size 12x1.25 instead of 8x1.25. Does anyone know if I can buy some sort of insert to fit it onto the shifter?
