Yeah, not sure what im going to do for the rear. They still have that 2 piece CF that I don't like. And ive heard they dont plan on making a 1 piece rear.
Haha yes their mountains. Thought it was a cool pic on the way to the place I take my pics at. Ill post the dyno pic in a thread in Drivetrain and Power somewhere.

looks nice, how is the fitment and are they a lot lower than the stock side skirts?
how much clearance did you lose on the front by putting that lip on? i plan on getting the hotchkis springs but i also want that CF front lip but don't wanna destroy it if it'll be to low.

They aren't very much lower than the stock skirts at all. The stock skirts curve inwards at the bottom, these just go straight down. When matching the CF skirts up to the stock ones you can barely tell if they're lower than the other.
As for lowering with this lip you do have to be careful, its about an half inch lower than stock, I have TRD springs and I do have to be careful on very steep driveways and such. And you cant pull all the way into parking curbs or you'll definitely scrape it. Once you get used to driving a lowered car its not a problem, you learn what you can get over and cant. I haven't had any problems scraping except on this one ridiculously steep driveway that I probably would have scraped stock.
They didnt have to do any trimming in the end, it fit right up. Only thing is when you open the door you can see where the stock skirts bolted up to. Here is a pic for example.

so KJ, the front lip only lowered the front about 1/2 inch? if so thats not that bad. the hotchkis should only be maybe another 1/2 inch or so lower in the front than the trd's so i should be ok.
i already give myself plenty of room from curbs pulling into parking spots and i already take speed bumps at really low speeds. so i don't think i'll have a problem, but like you said just be careful not to climb anything to steep.

very nice man i can't wait to get my cf sides.. and the rear definitely abs dynamics doesn't want to produce them.. so i'm probably gonna talk to firmware to either get some limited ones made or get the abs one wrapped.. i'm probably gonna try to get mine wrapped...
i'll post pics of my lip kit later..
