Im getting it soon, if you like it go for it. There are actually owners who responded to the thread and not just some conspiracy. Dont let people dictate what you like and what you want.

Your right the NIA lip is the only kit that is made for angled exhaust. the fitment is great. dont listen to people that dont have the kit, anyone who has the kit will tell you its a great kit.

Yea I have been in contact with the owner Kevin and he has given me a run down on the install. The kit actually has great fitment and the kits that dont look right are because they were not installed right

EDIT: I am not just saying this because I am sponsored. I have done my research on the different lip kits and really like this one plus Kevin is a really cool guy.

No gap here, plus do you have the kit? It fits extremely tight around the bumper and side skirts

i have the NIA front bumper...not painted or installed yet but I test fit it last night.....the fiberglass itself will need to be worked before paint but as far as the fitment goes...100% perfect...I dont need to do any trimming or sanding or cutting at all...none

what do u mean the fiberglass needs to be worked?

when i buy something such as a lip kit, i would expect not to have to sit there and work on it.

almost any fiberglass needs to be sanded and prepped before paint unless you just want it to look like ____

Plus yellowxhoodie do you just have a problem with this kit or what? There are other cases with different lip kits or body kits that need to have slight modification to get them to fit or it could be as simple as a bad lip and just send it back to get a new one....Why hate on just this kit so much?

I've heard good things about the kit and it seems very reaonably priced, i just think it looks a little too bulky and Corolla-ish.
