Is your 8 lowered? Hows the clearance with the lip on?

My car is not lowered. No plans to lower it at the moment. Finished installing it and it lowers the clearance about 1 inch from stock. But it sticks out towards the front about 6inches more compared to stock.
It's at 5 1/2 inches with the lip on.

It's actually darker than the picture shows. The sun was hitting it directly on the top picture and makes it very noticable.
Just finished installing it and took a couple more pictures. It was cloudy when I took these.

Front side view.
Hopefully it'll line up with the MS sides.

Adrian-1,

Your car is looking sweet. The Lip looks much better than the 'advertised' pics. Do they come only in CF?

No they also come in unpainted fiberglass and cost almost half as much as the carbon fiber. Click the link on my first post and it'll have info on who to contact for prices.

I've was thinking about the Rmagic lip but didn't want to have to paint itl. It's very similiar looking. Might be alittle lower.
No clearance problems so far. Except I was barely scraping on my walmart ramps without the lip, so I'll have to lift it using my jack from now on.

Hey Adrian did you have to pay any extra taxes or brokerage fees when it got to you or did you just pay KS-auto one amount straight up?
