jorwick-no, sorry if I wasn't clear...I meant costly in the sense of $. I'm not going to do both (drop it and put the lip on), since I don't want to spend that much money (I'm leasing), and living in Boston I'd probably hack the sh*t out of the lip if it was that low. I am willing to spend some $ to mod my G though, and so far I've only tinted it. I can get a great deal on the lip, which is making lowering my car probably about 3x the cost of the lip.

If you're not lowering for performance than it just comes down to what look you like better and also wheels/size. If you are staying with stock wheels I would just do the lip and then if you change your mind at somepoint worry about the height then.

also to answer the question above regarding lowering my car, I am NOT lowering my car, its a lease and other than the intakes (which I can take off and sell), tints and now lip, not putting anymore money in to the sedan..I miss my coupe too much and the first chance I get on a pull ahead program, im getting rid of the sedan, i know it sounds weird but its true..

looks great goonz! I think I'll be ordering mine this weekend. I just can't justify spending the money to lower my car since it's a lease.

The chin does look proper on the sport bumper. It just does. Good move, Goonz.

You've probably been asked this before, and/or this is a noobish question, but what is that rectangular opening in your lower grille on the driver-side?

How much lower does the lip make the front end? I really like the way it looks, but I find I just barely clear the parking stops without the lip. I don't want to get it then accidentally run it up on a stop and beat it up. I guess you could always argue to just back into a spot and stop worrying about it though.

Nice! I love the front lips on these cars. Great color you have there as well. lol



Oh and BLamb, my car looks like a 4wd since its not lowered. My G definately sits higher in the front than my Z. So in other words I don't think it really lowers the front much if any.
