thanks for the reply. Is this the "spec-m" version of the JPM model. I see a few different ones on eBay.

Hi bro,

Your car looks so dope, I just purchased the set like you did.
May I ask which seller did you purchase from. I ask them about the installation, they said it may require drilling

It takes about 14 days before they ship since they make it once they get the order. I believe they dont really have anything in stock just make it once someone orders...

i have rc350 fsport... it came with that head light already... i love the lip kit on it... just saving up for the air ride and itll be car show ready...

I just ordered the front lip and side skirts! The diffuser arrived Friday. The overall quality is decent, although the carbon weave pattern is not as straight as I hoped. Do you know if these parts are clear coated? I was the one that put together the carbon fiber skinning DIY in the 2IS thread, and one lesson I learned was no clear coat = yellowed resin within a year.

Default Use lifting points not side skirts to jack your car!!

You wouldn't be jacking the car up by the side skirt anyway.. you use lifting points on the car and side skirts are not made to support the weight of the car.. lip and skirts looks good!!

its holding up pretty good. It rains a lot here in guam and usually lots of water by where i live and lip all around still holding up pretty good. I added more screws to hold better. I actually had the lip painted to match my rc (candy apple red)

Ah thanks for the info man. I'm thinking about getting this on eBay. How are the holes lining up underneath. Do they match the existing holes of the car already? Did you have to drill or use a lot of 3M tapes? Any problem with jacking up the car with the extra depth?

Did you install the parts yourself?

bought two from the same seller.

The first one, i lost on the highway. I had damaged it since my car is too low and broke off a portion of it. I ziptied it but didn't hold up one day i was going triple digits lol.

so I bought a second one. The holes didn't line up 100% for both the front lips i got but i still managed to 3M a portion of it and added extra screws on areas where there were not meant to be screws. It's holding pretty well. I busted this second front lip a few weeks back again when i ran over apiece of wood on the highway. Just my luck.
