finally got a lip
after hearing about all the bad luck with the ebay lip, i finally decided to install it since i bought it already. i secured it with total of six screws. i left it unpainted because im kinda optimistic about it's security b/c of all the stories. excuse my dirty car. enjoy the pics, let me kno wut u think.

it looks secure b/c of the screws, hopefully it stays on. i noticed the previous ebay lip owners used double sided tape n prolly not enuff screws. i drilled screws thru the abs lip to my stock lip n then painted the screw heads black. u cant see the screws unless u look closely.

I hated that lip when it first came out, especially when they did the test fit and it stuck out the sides, and on shavedh22cl's car, looked weird. It's grown on me as far as the looks, but I would never buy one since my front end is like 2" off the ground, and the roads are shit around here, plus all the horror stories of the lip breaking and falling off. But I didn't like the lip till I saw it painted on hybrid's car.
