Can you take more pics ? How hard was it to install it ? Thinking of getting it for my base model.
Thanks! Exactly what I was thinking haha, some don't really like the new look but I really dig it lol 
Chinese made Modulo style-- eBay $100 painted and they shipped out crazy fast because they already had black in stock 
the holes at the top didn't match up but I just drilled new holes and I'm able to use stock mounting points;

Yeah! Do the bases come with black mirrors???? Most of the fits i see irl are sports with color matched mirrors, so to see the black with white is exotic. lol
Awwww YEAHHHH!
Looks fresh my man. Need some daylight picks for sure.

Install wasn't hard and it installs with provided screws.. Hardest part is lining it up so it's even and set right..way easier with two people
We used small clamps to hold the lip to the bumper while we attached with screws.. Also need to cut off some of the lip that goes into the fender area.. as it hits the tire as its to long that way
I've never seen it installed on a base model .. Some more pics from Google you can look at

Have you seen the base model front lip from jdp (http://www.jdpengineering.com/jdpcarbon/)
Has a similar styling .. You can order in Carbon fiber or just fibreglass which is cheaper
You can see it on a white fit here

Not sure if it's because it won't fit a base bumper.. It might I just couldn't find any pictures of it.. It's pretty flexible you could probably make it work.. I have other plans to get another sti lip for something else

Yeah that's a cheaper route.. Can you reuse the fog lights you have or do you need to switch them to sport bumper fog lights?.. Those aren't cheap if you have to

On a second note, are those real Mugen window visors, or fakes on eBay? I've been dying to get some OEM or Mugen ones, but I can't justify spending that cash right now.

My mirrors are color-matched, it might just vary per car.
I feel your pain. I went through the process of thinking about getting a sport bumper a while back and I think it's just not worth it. By the time you source a color matched, used bumper off eBay, and buy fog lights, you're at about $350 if you're lucky. Since then I have started to appreciate my base bumper more and more lol. It looks 10x better lowered, and currently I have an EZ lip, which looks pretty nice IMO. I also added some DRL LEDs, which I think seal the deal on the aggressive front end. Also, I would consider JDM badges, as I think they make the front end pop a little more.

Those are fake ones, spent about $22 on them and look manly beautiful; got them from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331028508299?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I also noticed the mirrors have a huge blind spot, I added some "JDM" magnifiers on them for my safety and actually they don't look that bad.
