bit of a hard time installing it at first because the slots in the mesh werent cut out on the lip so i used a grinder to make the slots so it would push further in.

Hey that looks pretty decent. Painted black, it almost looks OEM. Nice work, love the color of your car!

I would have painted it body color but on a dark car it actually does look pretty good

yes im happy with it. you no i had a hard time deciding on what color to choose either body match or black. both would look good but i believe the black gives more of a aggressive look to it. i found this mod to be a good alternative aposed to buying the m tech bumper and getting that painted. great mod for non m tech ti's. i would have to paint it body color to truly no which way would look the best.


and the paints condition should be fine for a long time because i will only have it on from now till end of October every year. and just unbolt the 4 screws and store it for winter time.

btw, any 1 catch the dinger on the left side of the grill...1 day after i put the black out grill on and some idiot must of reversed or drove into it while parking...sad day, very tuff one to swallow.

I had a tailgate painted and it was like 150 bucks, no body work...

Can you take a side shot so we can see how far down it hangs? Looks better than I expected it to, not bad at all.

What is the clearance on it? Do you think it would fit on lowered cars?

[rochey6957]

hows it holding up? Any issues???

Painted or not, I think that the carbon fiber lip would look out of place on a non m bumper. I've been looking for a lip for my base 98. Any more ideas out there?

Hey JCA, Marcus2116 had a Zender lip on his ti which I think is the cleanest looking lip for base model bumpers. The Zender lip was discontinued, however RDsport(Racing Dynamics) copied it. Here's a a few pics of it:

and it was for sale a while back, not sure if he still has it:

I dont think this one is carbon fiber though just regular plastic painted black. it doesnt look like carbon fiber from the pics

Thanks for the tip, Jess. You're right...that is a very nice looking lip. It's not over done.
