Thought I would throw some pics up of a JIC install, painted sides and rear panels, TA Style CF wing w/ the bottom and sides painted, CF Aero Lip from RAY (thanks Ray, your were a pleasure to deal with).... All work done by RPM North (thank you for all the advice Craig!). Sorry I'm not the best photographer but the pro got 1 good pic in for me

Very nicely put together. I love the color How do you keep that front lip looking so nice? Mine came with the factory aero kit and in spite of being as careful as I could, it only lasted about two weeks. The dips coming out of mini malls and driveways are just too sharp even if you try to take them at an angle. I've since gone to the shorter FVD style front lip....cheaper and more clearance....maybe doesn't look as spiffy, but much more durable.

Looks beautiful Dean. After seeing your car I ran out and bought 15mm spacers for the rear. It's such an understated difference, but it completely changes the stance of the car. Enjoy it in good health.

I don't know, maybe its the difference in places we go, or im just used to having low cars.... I have not even touched the bottom of the lip on anything yet. I left the car a little higher then I would like it for winter, come summer time, im going to drop it a little more i think.

Seal- Thanks for the compliments.... helps out the stance so much. I have a set of spacers for the front too, I just havent got around to putting them on yet.

Steve - Its getting there, hopefully I throw some wheels on by summer time!

Love the way your car looks...very simple and clean. I want to get the same lip but don't want to worry about it...probably getting the poly lip instead

Looks great. You can put 15mm all around and 21mm rears if you roll the fenders.

Really fills in the fenders for that "tucked" look.

Where's the best place to obtain such 15mm spacers for the best price? Looking to do all 4 wheels...

Does it affect handling?

Anyone used these?
