Nice lip, is it a lot lower than stock?

I can't decide between that or a Nismo lip...

lol, thanks for the comments. Its not alot lower then stock, you do have to be more careful though, but its not much lower, I scraped the bottom a few times, but it didnt worry me, you cant see scratches on the bottom. You really have to be careful if you pull into parking spots lip first, just touching the curb will crush the CF. Its pretty thin. BTW I liked the filters lol.

Car looks good. Is it just me, or is the bumper dented in the middle where the hood meets it?

you talking about the second pic? I notice I can see a little under the hood in that pic, I dunno why, I do have an aluminum sheild plate above the radiator, maybe it bent the rubber seal up a lil bit or something...

Its kind of naked, but it just looks way to clean now, I hated the hamburger, really any kind of emblem there, it had to go! I am really gonna try and not do a vertex side skirt, and rear bumper....that will just lead into a big brake kit, from there a built motor would probably go in....damn, that popcharger was the gateway drug to serious modding lol.

Intense Motorsports, think it was $490 shipped for the CF, if they have it in stock anymore you could get it from them, they are a sponsor here i think...There is also a group buy thread for these I think on here as well. GL.
