Went for A1 Service and came out with this

All I was going to do was get the complimentary A1 Service oil change. They were going to charge me for the tire rotation ( $18.00 ) which was no big deal. While I was waiting I asked if they had the front underbody spoiler - which they did. So . . . .
Installed for $380.00

I've searched the board for the name of the tape that people have used when the original stuff that comes with the part doesn't work well enough. I've got some gaps around the front grill and a small one on the right side and would like to tighten them up.

Here's a front lip before and after comparison.

Before:



After:

Looks great! My only concern is that the front lip lowers the ground clearance even more. As it is, sometimes I find my front scraping the pavement when exiting a ramp with a sharp gradient. In the snow, it may be even worse.

Hey, looks like your red color has faded rapidly ... and your neighbor across the street never moved his car. lol :-)

Thanx. The front spoiler is all I really wanted. I can't see much of a difference between the A-Spec side skirts and the stock ones and I don't think I can keep the mud guards with the rear spoiler.

I cant swallow the car with only part of the kit, the front does look good though.

By the way, if you put the ASpec and the Non-ASpec side skirt next to each other, you'd notice a nice difference.

The bottom right of my front bumper was scraped up by my fiancee and I'm wondering if I should get a front lip to cover it up... Of course the scratches have to be low enough on the bumper... I'll take a pic sometime and get opinions from you guys...

Mine too. She's the only reason I haven't put the body kit on yet.
