honks69 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Post some pics once you guys get these installed. I'm hoping other angles make these look nicer then the stock pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IQ9 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I just got done putting it on...all of 15 minutes. I hope to get some pics up later. It fits well.They also provided 3 extra screws so you don't have to worry about losing any. You will need to use the new body clips as it just makes the install move faster.

fredrik94087 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I went in to pick up mine this afternoon. First piece they gave me had the front portion turned downward like a fat lip. He told me to warm it up and I can straighten it out. I told him to go back and get me another one. I may attempt to put it on this weekend.

fredrik94087 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Fit is not to my standards. The 4 push pins are brittle. They included one extra screw. I can push down on the lip and create a gap between the bumper and lip. I am not sure how much downforce is going to be created at speed. I will get some push/pop pins and put one between every pair of screws. This will help the issue a little. Glue would be ideal.

Perscitus Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I don't know what it is (perhaps I'm biased and like the look of your car Fredrik) but I like it on your beast! Looks good and makes the USDM front end narrower looking, more JDM-like. You can get a little push-pin happy and put as many of those suckers in there as you want. I think we ended up using 10-12 push-pins to secure my brother's car lip kit. Use the nice chunky push pins and pre-drill the holes - then just snap them into place.

I've been secretly admiring the look of your car in the pics with your brother's WRX. It may be the color combo...gray with black grill and add on a black lip? The wheel color helps this car a little. Yours is hyper silver I believe. Mine is "special brilliant coating" (SBC). It is not a great lip but does help the front bumper as you described. Cheers!

fredrik94087 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I added exactly one dozen pins. Pre drilled 3/8". Also, bent lip down and put a bead of clear silicon between lip and bumper along entire lengt before adding pins for a little more support. An hour later, it moves almost as one piece with the bumper. Now to make sure I dont rip it off by accident while parking.

Looks good.. i still think its juts out a bit too much for my liking. It looks a tad wider in photo than in real life. Wih the gap filled, strengthened with pins, and painted, it is decent and does not look like an afterthought.

RailKill Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I don't know, I'm still not feeling it. I feel that it should have gone straight across instead of curving with the bumper. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 From the side it looks pretty good, but for some reason from the front it tends to look a little massive. 3/4 angle shot pleez!!!
