Be careful man the rears will lift tiny bits of paint. You'll probably need a buff once you do it. Like I need lol.

Update update update.

So went and got my lip from my mate today (finally :P) decided I wouldn't wait for better light/wheather and proceeded to fit the lip.

I read somewhere on here that the guys in the US used double sided tape for the centre section, so I followed suit, however I may use screws in the back corners.

Call me crazy but I used self tapping screws in the ends. The passenger side was almost the right size, however it wasn't the same story for the driver side. My creative centre of my brain went into over drive. Spotted a bit of ply wood so I decided to use it

I'll shave it so it's invisible at work tomorrow

The fitment isn't a 100% but it is a replica. A few gaps are obvious up close









But overall I'm happy with the look, can't wait for daylight for a proper pic

Cant help but notice, was the car ever fitted with euro plates & spotlights on the bumper? looks to be screw holes on both sides of the numberplate

The lip was $300 shipped
Passenger side door $125
Paint and oven by my mate $300
My uncle to put in the door this week free
$725 isn't bad. Would of been cheaper if I didn't hit that dam tree lol

And it is lowered :P
