Installed Front Lip Tonight

I only had enough money to spend on the front lip and bought it for $280 new last week from Tim at Ray Laks. Anyway it looks 100% more aggresive in the front.
Also...I think my TL-S might have been one of the earlier TL's delivered because in the intructions it recommends I drill where the dimples are underneath the bumper, but there were none so I had to draw some points where to drill.

I bought mine ( OEM SSM front & sides) half year ago from Tim
Since there is no more SSM left in the market....so the kit needed to be repainted to SSM
The paint job was awsome!!
I just ordered the Wings West rear a month ago....I assume that it will be arrived a week later...

nice job! yeah Tim's a really cool guy...i ordered my SSM kit from him a month or so ago, put on the sides/rear but still have to put on the front though lol...his price is usually 833 shipped and painted for full kit but mine was 1033 because he didnt have the sides in SSM anymore so he needed to have whichever sides he had painted in SSM so thats the 200 more....was the install on the front lip any harder than you thought it would be? you didn't need to take off the bumper right? looks great

I had to take off the front bumper...if you wanna meet up where I live, we can do it in my garage. Shouldnt take long. One thing that concerned me with mine was there were no dimples to drill so I had to mark them off. But since I know how to know we could be able to do your within an hour and a half. Something like that.
