Looks sweet man, can't decide if I like how it flares out near the tires or not though. Overall it is sweet to have an option besides full custom and WW lip.



Side angle pics would be appreciated to compare with the stock skirts. just my

Meh, i know some people on here will like it, but I don't think it flows with the lines, I know it's just a test fit, but unless it was molded, it doesn't really go with the lines at all. It's a nice alternative to the ww lip, but i'll stick with my ww lip.

Hey guys I just got back. Let me answer your questions, yeah the reason for the flaring is that it was drilled in that way. I have no idea exactly what took place at that body shop and the test-car was gone by the time I came back here but James is telling me that that is how it was drilled in. The body shop told us that had they taken their time, sanded down, prepped, primered, painted, etc. then installed the lip it would come out clean. Good thing is even with the test fit there were absolutely no gaps at all which is very nice. Let us know what you guys would like to do, also the lip is not painted in the pics and that is a bone-stock, dirty CL.

are you sure its flared because of that? looking at the pics it seems as though if the bottom were to be lined up straight, there would be a gap at the top. Can you take a look at the fender where the screwd it in and see if it fact, the bottom is screwed out further than the top?

Sure thing, I myself have not seen the car yet in person but I will try to get the guy to come back down tomorrow and take more detailed pics of it. Maybe you are right because you guys know more about this specific model than I do, but I will check for you guys, we're unfortunately closing down for today and the guy has already left. But I will keep you guys updated.

It would definately look better molded, I dunno, it's too ricey for me, kinda reminds of the greddy one someone posted a while back. I think molded and painted it'd look like a new bumper, but it's a bit ricey for me, I'll stick with my ww lip, but like i said i know people will buy these, cuz it's different. I was lookin for somethin different from the ww lip, but that's not my taste.

it basically looks like the "mugen" lips that are out there for civics, integs, accords, etc. It also kind of reminds me of the TL oem kit too.
