Wow.. thats some funky damage to that side skirt

 

Whats your conclusion Yay or Nay on the lip kit im interested. Keep us posted.

 

Well he got a defective product...

 

Well, the mold damage to the skirt was disappointing but since its not visible it doesnt bother me too much. I'm gonna play around with mounting them later this week so I'll keep you posted.

 

Ok, tonite I mounted the front and rear lips. The rear was a bit challenging, especially doing it alone! I ended up not using the brackets as I couldn't see a good way they would work. I ended up screwing both sides in on the inside of the wheel wells where they wrap in. After I get it painted I think I'll run a few long screws through the bottom into the OEM bumper. I would rate the fitament on the rear a 8/10. It fits pretty snuggly in most spots, there is a very small (barely noticable) gap around the passenger side bend. I will know better tomorrow as I finished up in the dark.

The front lip fit beautifully! I used the brackets on the inside of the wheel wells and will probably add a screw or two (similar to how I mounted the back) to the top of the lip inside the wheel well to make it completely flush; there's probably a 1/2" gap when just using the brackets. I also plan on running a screw or two through the center under the grill. Also, for those with the Fig grilles don't worry, my fig fit PERFECT over the lip. Now I just have to figure out how to use the free OEM fogs that came with this kit with the fig grille.

I'll try to post the shotty pictures I took later tonite.

do it.

 

 

So this is without a doubt the same as the RS1 lip kit or is there something different? Also is it ABS?

 

Looks to be the same, and yes its ABS.

 

Post pics (better pics ) when you get it all painted. When are you getting it painted?

 

Yeah, the pictures suck - I know. I'm gonna install the skirts this weekend and then leave everything on for the next week or so to make sure there are no complications. I'll try to get some better pics soon - damn treo sucks for pics.

Can anyone recommend a good paint shop in the ATL area?

 

Wow, this thread is interesting. I saw the same auction on eBay, but the lip comes with headlights. Looks like a good deal, I'm glad you offered to be the ginuea pig. If I go ABS, I will surely buy that. I'm torn 50/50 ABS/CF

But thanks

 

You have an RS2 right? I think paint matched would look hot on it. just my 0.02.

 

^^Ditto

I think CF should stay with the Black, Flint, and White.

 

So.. now that I've ginuea pigged this is anyone else planning on getting one?

 

Get better pics! :D im interested is there an auction for just the lip kit?? What about the sides.

 

ill have teh sides installed tomorrow.. ATL has been hit by some bad storms this week so i havent ventured outside

 

Great keep us posted the fitment looks good from the pics you posted

 

ok heres some better ones..

 

i got this same kit from the same ebay dealer like a week ago. the fitment is a 8/10 all around for me. the side skirts fit kewl with no modding. the rear i had to use 3M double sided tape plus the brackets that came with it. it fits kewl if u have 2 ppl installing it. if u do it by yourself there could be gap issues because its not being stretched enough to fit.
the front is where the big issues are. i had to do like kileil said and trim the top part of the kit back about an inch because there was nasty gappage around the pillers. after i trimmed it back an inch with my rotozip it fit perfectly flush. i would recommend anyone getting this kit. at that price its a steal! i am really happy with it. my car comes out today from the body shop. i will post pics as soon as i can.
