Front A-Spec Lip Pictures

Here are a couple of pictures from my A-Spec Front Lip install I did a couple of months ago. I'll see if I can post more later. I replaced the OEM tape with 3M tape per the reco's on this board.

Do you have ASPEC rims to go with that or stock? Any pics from the side?

I'll try to get side pictures but the rest of my car is stock so I figured I didn't need to post any pictures. I just posted some pictures of Cecilt's car. He did the same thing that I did and just installed the front lip.

I'm looking for some aftermarket rims to go on my car but I'm finding it difficult to locate rims that clear the brembos. I'm looking for a hypermesh type wheel with a lip (and I don't want to use spacers)

Just for those of you who were wondering what I meant by removing the OEM tape. Here are a couple of pictures. The stock lip comes with very narrow strips of double sided tape that is already applied to the lip. You need to remove it completely.

Here is what the tape looks like when you get it. I already started taking off the tape in this picture--this is a pain in the arse.

When you are done removing the tape it should look like this...

Then you put on the new wider/stronger tape and it will look like this. (I had to double up the tape on both the right and left sides to make sure the thickness was correct. This image only shows ONE layer of tape.)

I did keep the original tape on the very front of the spoiler because that is not where I see the gap issue.

This will hopefully help minimize any gaps that may occur from the tape not adhering to the existing spoiler. Make sure you clean and prep all your surfaces.

Glad it helps. My wife thought I was crazy taking those pictures. I told her that I wanted to post them to help anyone I could. I also took pictures underneath the car where you had to drill to install the lip.
