but you can also just google search and look it up online like that and find several difference vendors and sites that have the kit.. See I use to have the whole kit on, (front lip, sides, and rear) but with my car this low as a daily, the TTE makes a little more sense to have on the front... A while back I repainted my bumper and shaved my side reflector markers.. and just took it off then and never really looked back.. I think the TTE lip is the nicest looking one offered... but the Admiration lip is a close second... I do recommend this kit because mine fit very well and has just overall held up as a very quality kit.. I have been impressed with it.

let me know if you can't find it online Ill go do some digging for you

Im also gonna try to go back in my photobcuket and find a pic with my old admiration lip on

here is a tiny pic with it, and with my old rims! and with my non painted roof! (damn those offsets were WEAK!!! what was I thinking???)

What method did you use to attach the lip to the bumper?

was definitely considering going this route (admiration side skirts /rear bumper) but not sure how it would look with the tte lip. the admiration front lip looks a bit over-sized compared to the tte.

not too shabby.

its a really good combo in person.. i like the admiration front lip too I just like the TTE a little better.. the thing is IMO with the admiration its so big n aggressive that you need much lower offset wheels.. which I will be getting way more aggressive 19s by the way one of these days.. maybe when my tires go bad!
