Bought it from Zonz540 for $400! Great buy. Looks great!? Doesn't it? Lol. Been saving up for this front lip for a couple months. Next piece to buy is the trd rear splitters! XD

had it since 2008, im glad u like it, its the nicest full lip and is OEM for our cars. btw, make sure you fasten your sides there i see it popping out. put doublesided it should help keep it in and if it doesnt use oem fastener or a self tapping screw.

Yea I was thinking about doing something like that. This is a carbon fiber btw. It's a replica. I never worked with Carbon fiber before so I'm scared I might crack it when I try to drill holes. Lol. But I'm thinking about using double sided tape.

If its carbon fiber, then it should withstand some harsher treatment wink.gif
I like this front lip so I bought one a few years ago. Then, when I had been working on the design of my Celi, I included this lip to the project.

Yea. I know but I'm just paranoid about how STURDY it is. It's like iron where it's extremely strong but not flexible. Lol. Scary thought.

you should be fine, not all CF products fit exactly. even my OEM ones needed a fastener. just make sure its aligned everywhere before you fasten it.
