Big thanks to PotMilkz... he did a perfect job installing my lip kit and took care of my car as if it were his own.

Does not look nice at all. very ugly 4G. headlights does not match the black out theme of the grill and wheels and what happened to the rear underbody spoiler kit. having the front lip kit and side skirt without the rear looks very odd .

No black out theme. Wheels are black. Grill is CT Eng carbon fiber.

Not a fan of the rear with single tip 4" exhaust.

Do you guys think the Ron Jon rear would look out of place with the OEM kit? I really like that one.

I don't think the 2 flow very well. I'm not even sure I like the rear pieces. I may just stick with the front lip myself. Ima message you a link to some dual tips though you may like since you don't like the oem tips with the rear aero kit.

Its off to a good start. It definetly needs the rear lip to compliment the rest of the kit otherwise it looks unbalanced.

Personal choice with regards to the rear skirt but i prefer the original,i know you have a custom exhaust with a single tip,would you consider changing to a dual staggered tip? it would compliment the rear skirt.

The thing that gets me with the rear kit is the thickness of the line where it meets with the bumper. Just looks too square, but looking at Potz TL i am going to buy the rear now.

Potz is well spoken, professional gentleman. Got along great while he installed my kit.

Thanks man. I cleaned her up today. Wash, then Wolfgang polish enhancer followed by Wolfgang Fuzion wax. Cleaned the wheels with Maxima speed wax spray polish.

Was going to take better pics but it got dark on me.

The oem rear kit is the nicest out there, and the RJ front lip is nicer than the OEM front lip

On the way:

Rear OEM lip kit
awd fog lights & bezels
Tein SS coilovers
EDFC system

Can anyone recommend a place to buy Work wheels at non MSRP price?

Looking at a set of Varianza DS3 in lighting silver.

Lip kit looks great, the rear really tied it together. What's going on with the exhaust though?

Looks like its pointed downwards and the tips really don't complement the car at all.

These wheels and tires will be for sale after Apr 5th if interested. Tein springs will be for sale too.

Tein SS coilovers are going on Mar 30th.

My new custom made forged wheels will be ready Apr 5th.
