I am very impressed with how nice the lip looks by itself. I think I would like to pick one up as well knowing that you really dont need the entire kit to make the car look nice. I feel like the front lip is 90% of the look and the rear lip on the carson kit I am not so in love with .

i thought having the front alone would look awkward but once installed it looks nice without sides or rear.

ill ride around like this until i have enough money to get the sides painted and the rear canards since i really dont like the look of the rear carson.

looks great! dropping mine off on sunday to get painted and installed. i'll post pics after turkey day. the more i see it, the more i like the matador red. probably my second fav color on the GS. lip looks real nice - you should pick up the rest of the kit if it's still available.

You should install it yourself. It took me like 15 minutes if not less. Very simple

yeah, i would, but i really don't feel like transporting. i'm picking up wednesday night and then driving right to NC for thanksgiving. besides, he's painting the full kit and installing for 200 - he was already painting my bumpers and stock side skirts from a confrontation with a large rock...
