I like that lip. Not too aggressive but nice. I may look for one. So your car is the same color as mine. Smoky Quartz Metallic. I don't see many modified in our color. Oh, and I would definitely recommend coilovers. I have my Teins sitting in my garage waiting on me to have time to install them

How's the quality of this lip spoiler. The reviews on Amazon are either "it's great quality" or "it's a piece of crap". Did you screw it on or use only the adhesive. I really like the look of it but don't like the "samurai", is it possible to remove? I'm on the border of buying one of these and hope you can help sway me either way on my decision.

Following. And does it look lumpy in person? That was a concern as well given the contours of our bumper.

Is that the Seibon carbon fiber hood? Is there a way to close off the hood vents for rain or does anything important (electrical) get wet under the hood? Do you need to run hood pins or does the factory hardware transfer over (I'm assuming it does not come with any hardware)?

Everything under there is pretty much fine to get wet anyways. I would only really worry about the alternator.

the hood is from carbon creations pretty good fitment I'm happy with it just swapped all the oem parts onto the carbon hood. The fenders are seibon carbon fenders the fitment is great just up top next to the mirror sticks out a little bit. Install wasn't to bad on them was able to take them off and put on without taking off the skirts

They both look good! Are you able to close off the hood vents or does water get on anything important in the engine bay when it rains? So it sounds like both latches transfer over on the hood so you don't need hood pins? Are the vents functional in the fenders to let air out of the engine bay or maybe the wheel wells?

thank you. I love the look they added to the car well worth the money. It came with a rain guard to protect water from getting on anything important you can take it off as you like it has screws. Yea don't need hood pins I use my latches and it works do have some problems getting it the hood up it' a 2 man job now one to pull the latch and one to pull on the hood. Yea the vents on the fenders are functional.

That all sounds good except for the 2 man job to open the hood. Why do you need 2 people- is the latch adjusted too tightly? Do the vents pull air from the engine bay or the wheel wells?

Had to edit that last line, but really like your G, was there hate spewed somewhere else on the forum???

If there are posts like that, and things go off the rails please use that little blue triangle in the username box to report specific postings.

And don't go under a rock, we want to know more about what you've done, looks like quite a project
