congrats! i will say that i do not like the front 'tabs' on the side skirt there at the bottom of the wheel well. does that serve a funtional purpose holding the skirt on? i will definitely shave off if it is there for 'looks'. otherwise, looks good!

Please contact me if anyone installed the kit (front lip) without using Carson provided screws and weather strip? Carson did not ship the front lip screw/weather strip/instruction to me and told me I am on my own...

I could take the donation if you don't plan on using it. Much appreciated.

It looks really good on dark cars imo....but not good enough for light colored cars. Looks like my sides and rear will be for sale in the classified section.

I beg to disagree...look at ^^^(telmz' white gs)...The biggest factor is the drop; ANY kit would look great even with a conservative drop-plain n simple...color is just a visual illusion.

telmz...well-executed-nice n clean; looks good even with the OEM 18s--congrats

Good....maybe I have a better chance of selling it. Hopefully, lots of people agree with you!
