I agree... not sure how I feel yet... possibly too subtle? So far my car has been pretty subtle in mods, had the space-grey grills until now too... I'll have to see it in person first.

I should also note it's still not installed... this is being held in place by clips. So thats why, I think, the lip looks a little off on the passenger side.

Maybe black out the silver "smiley" strip on the front bumper? That way the silver won't catch the eye so much and would reveal the lower depth of the new lip.

+1, then color match that lip to give it a clean look since its so subtle

Thanks BlackVenom! I think so too... and so will I. Just found the shocks should arrive Wed of next week, so hopefully by next weekend will have new, nice, photos.

So here's one more photo... will get more side shots when i get over to the garage myself... but for now this will have to suffice. Don't want him derailed from fixing the important stuff i'll also attach a photo of my intake valves.... looks like oil leak from turbos, given the gooey nature of the buildup, not hardened like expected... might also be the cause of my car sometimes stalling out at a stop? too much Oil in the Fuel? no idea....
