Default GFX Lip installed, next up H&R springs
Bought from fellow CL member and installed last night. Just wanted to share the pics. Next up will be lowering springs. Probably going with H&R to get a solid drop.

looks good man, from the pics it doesn't appear there are any gaps around the outer curves.

I'd recommend maybe starting up a build thread for your ride.

By the way, are those AVS Visors?

A drop is going to be nice. Will make the car look so much better.

Edit: Just noticed someone is selling a set of H&R springs in the classifieds section - save some money and pick up some used ones.

Yep, AVS visors. I get so many compliments on them.

Looks great..I also have AVS visors and love the look of them. as for springs H&R is the way to go, I think its one of the nicest drops for our car when going with springs.

Did you buy those wheels or they came with the car?

Glad I could help... if you want to save yourself some money on modding, make it a habbit to check the classifieds section very regularly! Good deals go quick!

Looking good! Told you it'd be easy! Did you end up using any "tape"?

It's where i bought the lip from was the classifieds. I usually check every couple of hours because you don't want to miss out on something good. Thanks for the lead though.

Just the tape that was already on the lip, very thin strip.

I used to have those wheels for a year or so when I first bought my car back in the day in 20"
