id like to ask you a question...
so you got the base a spec up front... how does it hold up against the type-s bumper without modding that curve of the lip by the fog lights?

Dope status. I love the way Type S wheels looked when the car is sitting at just the right level.

so clean with the base lip i dunno if its just me.. but it seems the type-s bumper paired with the base lip looks more aggressive looking compared to a base bumper paired with base lip..

I think i should have gotten a type-s bumper along with base lip instead of base bumper and lip. oh wells..

Nice choice on the base lip. Looks great. The type-S lip is imo.

Just did a lil shaving around the bottom of where kit meets fogs.
Will re-do the kit again because i'm having hood and front bumper re-sprayed for some freshness up front.

Now I want my tl-s look the same ! I was not sure of the look with the base front lip .... awesome !!

At this height, did your upper table go 'smash' in the shock tower when you hit a good 'jump' ?? With my k-sport ... they do !

Sorry for my english ... :S

do you get your lip kit from Acltl05 ?
