Hi all,
Sorry for another post, but I am curious if anyone has had buyers remorse after spending $1300 on the OEM lip kit?
I can't tell if my mind is playing tricks on me, because I think it COMPLETELY enhances/changes the look of the car (mine is a 2014) from the pictures i've seen.
It's really been the only part I've wanted since I purchased the car.

I'm curious if anyone has had any buyer's remorse, as in a few weeks passed and you were kinda "over it" or regretted it for that much money.
Im wanting the whole kit, as I think you might as well go all in.

Well... you'll likely have buyer's remorse when you realize you spent 1300 on just a few pieces of painted plastic... but... It does transform a car entirely. It's always hard to justify, but 19 times out of 20 people are like "Yeah, that was totally worth it".

If you have 1300 burning a hole in your pocket, do it up. If you need that money for more important things, then focus on that instead.

You got to pay to play lol I say do it! It changes the look completely and $1300 for the entire kit it not bad.

Luckily for me the previous owner had the OEM lip kit and spoiler installed when she bought the car. I love the look with them on. If the car didn't come with them I would have did it myself as the car looks totally different without them.

I couldn't justify it. At $1300 plus installation, its more than a tenth of what my car is worth. It looks nice but it doesn't drastically transform the look of the car imo (my car is black)

I find it interesting that you're thinking of dropping $1500 on the kit but won't get an authentic OEM spoiler for $100 more than a replica (saw your other post).

No way I'd spend $1300 on a piece of painted plastic. But I'm also happy to keep all my cars bone stock.

dafuq? are you drunk?????????????????

no one is hating. it's a personal finance decision.
read; PERSONAL.
most are saying that they wouldn't personally spend $1300 on a plastic kit. that's not hating. that's just being smart.

Very fair point. If there was a replica OEM kit for say $700, I'd buy it all day lol.

I hear ya. I didnt really take it as hating. I guess my point was that I haven't seen a lot of ILX's around here with the actual kit on it. I don't really have a good idea of what it looks like in real life.
Some pictures I see on here I feel like it makes a huge difference, others (especially the black ILX's for some reason), I don't see it making that big of a difference.
I had the "gun bug" for a while when I was a little younger, and now never go shooting, so thought about selling them and flipping the cash.

Thanks for everyones responses, pretty interesting to see both sides.

Save yourself $300-$400 and maybe just do the front and sides, skip the rear. I don't think the rear really adds anything.

The rear is the part I think makes the biggest difference! lol.
I like when people black out the bottom center curved piece of the back bumper too, thats when I think it makes a good difference.
