nice job on the lip...on a side note how does your greddy se sound? i've looked at youtube clips but that doesn't always do it justice...

greddy SE sounds amazing! I thought it was too quiet until I recently had the chance to drive the loner and realized how boring sounding that was... Greddy has a deep sound. I've never had exhausts on my car before and I enjoy this exhaust a lot. I actually want to try out other exhausts like the Tanabe and F-sport out also but not because I dont like the Greddy, just because I want to try new things! lol if you are on the fence because of the blue tips, I can show you a link where a guy sanded down and polished the blue tips off on is s2000

For those of you who want to remove the blue tips...

There is one other guy's but the link does not work.
Basically, you wet sand it starting from around 500 up to around 2500,3000 and then polish it. I have not yet tried it because I would either have to remove the rear bumper or the exhausts and I do not have access to a ramp to remove my exhaust because I borrowed my friends last time. If anyone here is trying it out, please make a DIY with pictures!

Also, Thanks for all the compliments! I also fixed the HID issue and the cutoffs very defined now and I can see SO much better. I knew I did something wrong bc I was getting worse output than my halogens :P Thanks for the suggestions!

Good to hear you got the lights shining properly now! But if you're trying to remove the rear bumper, you can try this thread, has pix in it

Ha, yeah the lip will hold just fine with the clips AND the bolts. The 3M tape is just to flush it up again the side, really unnecessary and the drilling won't do anything more to help it. In fact I scraped my GFX against the sidewalk once and nothing happened except for scrapes
