Question About JP Visage front lip

So I've had the G for couple months now and haven't had any money to spend on it (college student still! UMD lets goooo). Spring break is coming up and I should be able to finally get some tints on the car. I was looking around the forum and saw pics of the JP Vizage Lip.It looks amazing and I want that to be the next thing I get . I was told it only fits on the sport bumper (I have a non-sport). Is this true and is there anything similar to this I can fit on my non sport??

Also thinking about getting a stillen roof spoiler next.

Any suggestions are welcome

Burnout makes a kit for the non-sport... I'd drop the car, though, before putting any sort of kit on it. Just my $.02.

I would love to drop the car, but I'm looking to do more cosmetic stuff before performance and suspension. That burnout kit is ok, but i want something that's similar to the JP Vizage Lip shown here:

I love the little "fangs" coming out from the right and left of the car. Any other ideas?

You are limited because you have the non-sport front bumper. The JP kit will not work on your current set-up. What you can do, however, is purchase a sport bumper... That will open up a few options for you, kit-wise...

Regardless of what you trying to do first, look into lowering the car before you get a front lip kit. It wont look right without a drop. Fur realz, but again its up to you.

agreed, you def should lower the car first. if you go with Eibach Pro Kit your looking at a healthy balance of cosmetic and performance. while they aren't coil overs, they still give a good ride with slightly increased handling while adding a sportier, more sleek stance to the car. i have an X Coupe and i definitely recommend going with an Eibach kit first!

you really have to call around to local shops and ask. i paid 230 for my springs and 4 hours of labor at 80/hr for mine at my local shop. find some reputable shops in your area and call for pricing and see whats best. there shouldnt be much difference in the prices from shop to shop because its a basic thing to do but as long as your calling trusted places, i would go with the best price

Agreed a lip will look funny without a drop, and there's nothing really out for the non sport bumper. I had a splitter before I lowered my car, but that's subtle so it didn't look so bad. Shop around, Eibachs cost me $220 new and found a shop to install them for $100 ... Now I do pretty much all mu installs myself or with a buddy! I've had good luck with cheap labor! Lol

I noticed you saying you saved up for tint.. How much is that coating you? Cause I only paint $100 for all 5 windows!

I decided that getting a drop isn't worth it at this point. I might look back into that over summer time. (Thanks for the advice though!) How much would a sport bumper cost around?
