yes, thats what i am planning to do, but not sure how i will fit the rear on with the aftermarket muffler, maybe i will only get the mugen side skirts and leave the rear stock
and the wheels are 18"s, maybe they look big since its white

yeah, i like the look of the jdp lip too, very simple looking, but the fitment of it even after all the work i did to it still drove me insane, so i finally cracked and got the mugen and its not the best looking lip but damn its a very well made product

yea, i'm suprised just the mugen front flows so well with the sport side skirts, i thought the mugen would be too big and i would have to get the sides asap, but i think i will wait, but the rear i might not get at all, cause i want to keep my greddy
and i would sell my jdp lip, but most likely locally, unless people are willing to pay $130 just for shipping cost

the winglets don't do much, especially the ARC ones, mostly for bling
and i didn't like how they look on the jdp lip so i never put them on
and the jdp lip can be really easy to put on or real pain, if you don't care about your bumper then its really easy, but if you care about your bumper (like me) it can take a lot of work, cause the jdp lip on the inside is raw fiberglass, and has a very sharp and rough surface so i had to make it smooth and added some foam on the edges of the lip where it mounts to the bumper

but its not only the edges, the surface of the jdp lip seemed lumpy/not smooth either, no one really noticed it, but i did, i think i'm just too picky
i think shipping has gone up a lot more than few years ago, i used to get front lip's shipped for $70 now its at least $130+, i geuss its all that fuel surcharges

Have you guys priced out shipping large items through usps? Sometimes its cheaper than UPS or fed ex. Another suggestion is to find a friend who works somewhere with a commercial UPS account. It can be 50-75% cheaper than regular UPS sometimes.
Back on topic, the 18's look good on the fit, and I'm a sucker for color matched cars so I'm digging the white on white.

Has to be one of my favorite Fits on here! Such beautiful work, and attention to detail.
Quick question: Does the JDP spoiler dip down a little. Trying to find the perfect spoiler since the duckbill didn't look right on my car
