the front looks good, but the canards look a$$, did you have to install them or was there an option to leave them off

It came as a 5 piece set and the canards secures the sides to the front lip so I figured it would be smart to install it but i'm sure they can be left off if you like since there are already two bolts on each sides holding the lip the canards is just extra security.

Looks good from the front. I do remember the canards looking out of place on the UW. Do you have pics of the side view?

nah all 3m 20lb mounting tape I'm trying to avoid having to drill holes in the car. The bolts you see are the bolts that hold the canards to the side piece doesn't hit the bumper at all.

Is this the lip that was previewed earlier in another thread?
Can it be mounted without the canard and the side piece that goes upwards as well?
If so I think we have a winner!

Also are the holes pre-drilled where to extra pieces attach to?
More pics would be awsome

The lip can be mounted without the canards and side pieces but it will look really ugly since the side pieces connects the lip together and if you don't have the sides on it will have an opening "hole" almost on the sides. Wish I would have taken pictures of it when it was in pieces to show you guys.

All the holes are pre-drilled but I was really disappointed that the pre-drilled holes on the lip did not work with the oem bolt position at the bottom of the car so you pretty much have to drill at least 10 holes into your car if you wanna mount it with bolts. I'll try and post some more pics soon been busy and actually waiting on the TP style sides before I take full pictures.
