Can't tell if you have redouts in the last 3 pics. I'd recommend that or IS-F Tails.
Sways will make biggest handling difference.

So i came here originally to say get the rear gfx since you have the front already - Then i realized i just ordered the trunk lip spoiler and the roof spoiler and i dont have the rear bumper gfx..... guess i need to order that now lol.

+1 for red outs also.

Rear lip and black out the emblems could leave the grill surround chrome to keep some chrome accent

Rear lip and redouts or rear lip and roof spoiler. Either way, lip for sure.

You weren't supposed to see that! Lol. I did that with a damn heat gun, trying to bend them out because they were getting too close to the glass...

And holy crap! I went to bed last night and had to work today. Got home this evening and see that the results are overwhelmingly in favor of the GFX rear and red outs! Thanks for the input and the compliments! I will update the post when I have the lip on the way, and of course post pics once installed. I've seen several members post that they've installed their without drilling? Who here has done that and how does it hold up? I drilled when doing the front GFX and didn't really find it that hard to do. I also like knowing that it is held on with more than tape. Not to mention the fact that I don't plan on ever removing it, otherwise I could see drilling being an issue.

You've answered your own question. Only two alternatives aside from drilling is gluing it on (to be honest, I've never seen this) or automotive grade, double-sided tape. I installed my rear GFX lip/spoiler with double sided tape, and after being in the sun + car washes for the last 1.5 years, it's still solid.

Cool. I may go this route first and then do the drilling if I feel like it isn't holding up.

There are quite a few CL members in the RDU area, and a few more in Charlotte.....
