imo doesn't flow with the rest of the body cause this lip is pretty aggressive looking / alot of angles and lots going on and such, and the rest of the body is pretty smooth and simple in a less is more kind of way, whereas the lip is going for the more is more approach

but whatever floats ur boat

it doesn't look any better now than the first time you posted it. You need sideskirts, rear, and wheels to rock that lip, or else it just looks tacked on and out of place

Yup, same response from me now as before. You need an aggressive kit and savage fitment wheels to pull off the look. To be honest, I'd ditch it ASAP. Once you get done with everything, there's a small chance it will look good, and a big chance it won't. I think when it comes to a bodykit, you really have to plan ahead before buying anything, otherwise you might be left with regrets.

Guess you & I are the only ones who dig it, you will need side skirts and a full body kit in the future though, just a opinion.

Who makes this lip, how much including shipping if you don't mind. Can you at PM me with the pricing and where you got it from?

These comments aren't really negative...they're actually very constructive! So what sides/rear do you have planned? Only tell us if you want our opinions, though

Is your car lowered? I like the stance and the lip on the front. I think some CF sideskirts would REALLY make the car 200% of what it is now. :thumup:

Im not a huge fan of what it is right now. Too aggressive but has some potential. But hope u will finish it soon with skirts and rims. If you like the Carbon look, you should get CF Hood and rear spoiler too. I hope the lip will last that long.... Watch out for the curbs, driveways, and speedbumps..... Beee Careful!!

I think it is unanimous that a kit with that lip is necessary. You may want to have it painted as I think the black is too much contrast on your white car. Black aftermarket parts I think look better on darker colored cars. I would have the lip and the rest of your future body kit painted to match your car, but that is just my opinion.

Take it off and wait for the other parts to come

It'll save you scrapes for the photos.

I wouldn't paint it. I think the CF goes great with the wheels and tint.

Though I'm not a huge fan of black/white look, but finished product can look ok.

on the low buck, some spacers, and just the factory mud flaps would make it look pretty darn good!

Looks like a C-West lip, I would get the rest of the kit rather then mix and match.
