ON OEM Appearance Package Front Lip

Preferably in velocity red, but will take anything really. Will get it repainted.

Not a fan of it. Its not very noticeable and it wouldnt flow with the stock appearance package. I would go with oem appearance package lip or Evo-r. The evo-r flows nicely with the rest of the appearance package.

im afraid of scraping the lip, cause the oem one would most likely sit lower than the cf one

I bought the auto-exe front lip and I can't wait to get it on.
The chargespeed lip looks cool, rounded and all. I really like the rear piece too.
the RE is a bit much. Looks more like a JDM curb feeler than anything!
OEM is well....stock, can't go wrong.

OEM appearance lip does not sit any lower than current height.you have to remove the black under lip that is on there thus making some room for the new appearance lip, making the opening to the rad slighty bigger and allowing you to put the rotor accent on.

^ I might need help too. I have the whole kit waiting to be put on in my basement. Every piece came with instructions and everything. Does it require drilling ? I swear i heard something like that for the sides.

I installed the whole kit last spring. You have to drill 3 holes in each rocker, 6 holes in the front bumper, and 2 in the rear. No holes are required for the front aero mud guards. The bumpers are easy, when you take them off and look on the back, the spots where you need to drill are already marked from the factory. The sills are tougher and a little nerve racking because you are drilling into metal and the templates are finicky. Double and triple checking are a must. Also you'll want to put some touch up paint the drilled holes and I put a little sealent over the holes before I installed the sills, just to help prevent any rust from forming(for all those winter drivers).

The sides require 4 drilled holes in the rocker panel on each side. The rear your supposed to cut out a slot for the tab to go in and the aligator clip holds it in place, but i just used the one screw and cut off the tab and used some double sided tape and a but of strong glue.

*just saw you got an answer to your question lol, mybad*
