I tried again today and it fits! Phew! At least it's not wasted money. I figured two places saying it fits can't be both wrong. I had to remove the small, rubber lip under the car for the thing to fit.

Just need to installing it now. Gonna wait for a warmer day. I'll take pictures later when it's installed.

aftermarket of course but the choice between c/f, ajr, mugen (mugen rep) is a hard decision!

I dont know if I want c/f on my car, kinda iffy about it, but I was looking at the mugen rep. but couldnt really envision it on my car, I always have a tough time doing that.

Ok. Here are pics. It's much more obvious than I expected. Cops will definitely notice now. Oh well.





Oh, I had to sand down the fog light housings a bit. Otherwise, the CF lip gets in the way and they can't fit properly.

Yep. I was hoping for a more subtle lip, but it turns out looking like a whole nother bumper! Should've got the J's Racing one.

paint the top of the lip the same color of the car as well as the sides and it will blend in more. If you get it done professionally with a straight line it would look really nice.


And get some black vinyl and cover up the silver inside those holes so it looks better.
