Thanks bro! My daily driving joy!

Here is another ISF with Seibon hood and Cwest lip to show how good it looks in darker color and aggressive front lip.

Think mine will be painted when I get it, but its a nice addition for sure.

Cheers.

Thank you! Yes I told myself when I get it I'm going to wrap it in matte black and keep the vents carbon fiber. But I was surprised when I had installed it it looked really good, so I may keep it this way but you never know! Thanks again

I have to agree with all this^^^^

Yeah everyone has their own opinion/taste, personally I was going for the aggressive look so I liked it. I'm also getting the VV-F 101 rims hope it blends with the stuff I have on right now. thanks

I saw your car before, the hood looks sick! I may paint mine matte black and keep the vents carbon fiber still not sure. May I ask from where did you get the front lip? And how much? Thanks!
