Default Front lip without drop

So....What is your opinion on having a front lip without the car being lowered. I live in Queens NY..the roads here are the worst. Potholes left and right. Do you think a painted eBay lip will look alright at stock height? Any suggestions on lip kits and where to go to get them painted. TIA.

It's really up to you. Some of like to be slammed but if that's gonna be a problem then forget it. A factor gfx lip is always clean. I'd say don't get something too bulky. Here is a link to most of the body kits ever made for the 2IS. http://www.vrtuned.com/shop/vr-tuned...150780916.html

can never go wrong with a GFX. I liked it when my car was slammed. Now i am riding stock, I am still happy with how it looks.

Oh no it does not, its only for 06-08. There are very few lips for 10 bumper. GFX for 10 comes in two pieces. 700 from sewell for those is ok then.

It'll look bad with a drop and without. That lip tends to be very badly fitting and very wavy.
