haha yeah, I thought it would look good for a second but after photoshoping it I changed my mind

Only way it might look good is if you get proper black side skirts and nice black wheels

Without! Other than the price, I do not see the appeal of the Nismo knock off lip. Looks like a duck bill.

+1. Get spacers and call it a day for now. The lip doesn't go well with pre '06 bumpers IMO.

You should have added a poll OP and I also think this should have been in the Tech Exterior/Interior section rather than here..

Lip + completely stock otherwise looks weird to me.

Without the lip until you mod your car a bit more (coilovers, wheels or spacers etc.) I feel that lip is a bit aggressive for being mostly stock otherwise.

the title says lip kit but i only see a front lip spoiler. you going to add the sides and rear? i say upgrade the suspension first and work on your stance.

If you don't have the side skirts or rear lip to go with it, then I'd say don't put on the front lip. It looks tacky with just the front lip without the sides. Doesn't flow nicely when you look at the car from the side.

You have options because that lip is hideous and looks like a snow plow without a full kit. Your going to develop cracks around the opening of the bumper because you removed the plastic grill. I'd say either get a full kit and lower it on the factory wheels or take it off in favor of a lip that isn't that large. Your car is orange and I'd stay away from a two tone so leave it body colored. Paint the tow adapter black... it looks a baby with one tooth.


Quick Reply: opinions needed. with or without lip kit.
