So you don't get to set the number of degrees specifically? You just have to "feel" how hot/cold it is when turning the ****?

Yes it just a turn the **** till it feels right. I think it has been discussed on here and it might have been a cost saving feature and supposedly the Auto doesn't really work all that well on the 8.

Nice job! I must admit that after seeing your lip, I bumped buying to the JIC full titanium exhaust kit and the Evo-R lip to purchase this one. The quality is worth it.

I love the lip and how it subtly changes the lines of the car. You going to get the CF version or FRP?

Yeah the CF version is the plan. That joker is expensive, but I saw that japanparts.com was offering a 10% discount, not like that really helps a whole lot. LOL I am really pushing the carbon fiber theme with my car......lip, hood, trunk and roof at some point.

Yep

Pulling out of my driveway I turned too sharp and went over the curb and put two very minor scratches on the bottom of the lip. It is not noticabable and no cracks so no worries
