a couple things:

1) not a fan of the grill.

2) i kinda like the front lip except for the little chrome strips. But this lip would look a little over the top on a light color car......too import-ish. dark color cars have to have a little flashier body kits to be noticed.

3) i think those wheels are knock-offs of the C5 Corvette wheels!! haha

Exactly what i was thinking. Front lip without the chrome strips remind me of the Blitz lip that I was going to get for my 07

Ha!! yeah right. im sure it'll cost an arm and a leg but chances are, you'll be the only one sportin' a lip like that!

so, IMHO....its worth the money!

Heavy dose of chrome. I like the Chrome trimmed front lip! but not all together with the grille.

I still think the JP grille is the badest grille I have ever seen for the 3gs.
