Default Installed my X-Package front lip. (pics)

Got around to installing the OEM front lip I got from the group buy and the yellow fog film. Tell me what you think.

The front lip reminds me of the TTE lip on my GS.. Very tasteful mod and not over done.. The yellow film looks good.. I always like that on the fogs..

looks good.

looks like you need to go get the less dusty brake pads now and see how those work. your rims look like mine after i drive my car for 20min after washing it.

I put mine on last weekend too. It's amazing how much it changes the look of the front end. I gotta say I was disappointed that the fit isn't better for an OEM part though. I used the cable tie method (it helps) but I still have gaps. They are noticeable on my GFM, maybe less so on a darker color like Miami's.
