actually just saw the pics on your thread, looks good man. but i think your exhaust is going to get in the way of the rear lip. you might have to either bend the hangers or pull the exhaust down by putting something in the hangers

Where is everyone getting their OEM Front lips from?

I got a set of side skirts just looking for the front lip.

you can get them from trdsparks.com. but its not painted only comes primered from them if you are only getting the front lip.

Dude that looks really good for a rattlecan job. Once you clear it, wetsand, wetsand, and then wetsand some more and it will look perfect.

OEM lip spoiler but it looks a little bigger to me, but not like the big lip one.As for the roof it looks good it sits perfect and it doesn't slant up or is that big like everybody thinks it is, I like it.

ok so as promised here is the rest of the kit. side skirts fit great. rear lip is off a little bit. but its not made of abs plastic its made of polyurethane plastic so fit is a little off but not major, exhaust just clear the lip but i can see after a test drive im still going to have to get the exhaust ot hang a little lower cause it start to burn it a little











also figured i would post this up. as you can see in the rear lip pics above the rear lip is almost touching the lip. and after a test drive it actually starting to burn off the paint on the bottom a little bit. but here is a after pic. all i did was upll the exhaust downward some and put a socket in it. and it dropped the exhaust down i would say a half a inch.

yea np. all you got to do is where you exhaust tip is the rubber hanger that is holding on that side. just take a socket and push down on the tip and put the socket into the rubber hanger and it will make the exhaust sit a little lower. the socket just goes in the hole in the middle of the rubber hanger.
