Alright, so seriously...I feel bad for the people that pay to have the front GFX spoiler installed...it couldn't have been easier (10min max). The sad thing is...I'm quite the modder...and this is just the beginning. Next on the list are the aftermarket HIDs as well as springs. And we all know that's quite a project (research wise). I'm thinking the Eibach 250s just because of all the squeaking on the F sport (without the rubber). Love some opinions and just wanted to share some updated pics. Oh yea, and after that I'll venture into the matte black powdercoating...mmm, cant wait. Thanks, -b

Looks good. Your car is on F-sport springs?

Gotta love the OEM GFX kit. It adds aggressiveness but doesn't make your car lower like other lips do. Great for some of us that are tired of the super angling out of driveway days.

Nope, I'm stock for now...trying to decide between F sport or the Eibach 250s.

Thanks guys, Im really happy with it. Definitely subtle but classy. It is amazing though how much of a difference it makes on the front end. It looks mean...I was thinking about the sides and rear GFX but couldn't justify putting another line on the rear bumper. Just looking forward to dropping it like she's hot...stay tuned. -b

damn they still have GFX parts left. I thought they would have got rid of all of them by now with that blow they had last summer.

Looking good. I'd agree with what others have said. You might want to consider some TEINs.
