I was thinking the same thing
But in the end, im not totally crazy over the design and actually don't mind the stock one at all.

You know wat I noticed Kdash, your bumper doesn't have the headlamp washers. I couldn't take my bumper completely off due to the washer lines, and when I tried to remove them, obviously, washer fluid came out. I had to do all the cutting and install with little room to work with. I cant tell if Jeff had headlight washers as well, but definitely an obstacle to think about for those wanting to do this install.

Ii didn't have headlight washer as well, so it was pretty easy for me. There isn't a way to unplug the tube?

Don't let the headlamp washer stop you. I too have the headlamp washer and It's real easy to plug the tube. You can use a small plastic bag and a small rubber band. After you remove the tube, cover both ends of the tube openings just like how we wear a condom then belt it with rubber band. There will be some fluid spill for sure, but it will be very little if you can cover the hole fast enough.

To the OP ..... I'm thinking of adding these f sport lips to my non f sport 2011 but was wondering if you feel it can be installed without all the hacking and drilling ?? I'm hoping to see if i can use 3m tape which i have all the confidence of it sticking but wasn't sure about the fitment

TIA

From what I can remember of the clips, I would say that it can be done. This was my intention when I first bought them, but really it's actually an easy install. If you can use a drill, or exacto knife, or in my case a dremel then you are fine. It's all outlined for you on the back of the bumper. The clips that hold the lips to the bumper do a really good job of keeping it tight and make the fit OEM. As good as 3M tape is, I don't know if you would be get the tight fit and seal that the clips do. The other negative thing is if you were yo cut the clips to find out later that they dont fit too well with 3M...you now have rendered the lips useless. Just go for the cuts!

Skirt looks good!!
BTW, on those 19" TSW's, how's the clearance? Stock suspension height?

I just picked up a grey '08 so Im new to the game. Definitely on the hunt for the gunmetal grey Fsport style like these. Love'em!! Anything I should consider with the stock suspension setup?
