I was never a fan of front lips. They just look like you did nothing more than add a piece of plastic to your front bumper since that's really all it is.

For show, I'd rather invest in an entirely whole new front bumper like duraflex...

If you are going to go all out and spend alot of money on mods then at least you could make things flow a bit more naturally with a 1 piece bumper.

 

Yea but everyones taste is different bro...this is more of the clean look then sporty =)

Hey Kid, are you lowered on anything?

 

Oblivion, you have no idea the amount of money it takes to make that bumper work. I thought the exact same thing as you so I purchased the full kit. Since I already bought it I was forced to pay the crazy cost to get it painted and installed, but oh my goodness.

 

yea with my old tC i had a widebody kit on it...you have no idea how much i went through and how much i spent on it lol

 

it all comes down to personal opinion... and i personally hate body kits and aftermarket front bumpers and would much rather just get a front lip and keep it simple and clean.

 

Haha you feel my pain then!

 

o heck yea! especially since i had to go through 3 front bumpers and 2 fender flares lol

 

overall I'd still spend the extra money to have a cleaner look using a 1 piece instead of an addon. In fact I'd rather have gotten a frs if it was available at time.

 

gleb_v thanks

i'm getting the entire lip (front, sides, rear), not just the front. its just only the front is done at the moment.

lip > body kit because i feel body kits are tacky. IMO, i love the car and its original design/body lines...installing body kits will take that away and replace it with someone else's design. instead i like lip kits (noticed i said kits) better because it keeps the original design/body lines and just adds to it

and i'm lowered on KW V2 coilovers

 

The only true way you'll really retain the original design without completely altering its appearance is simply by lowering the car. What you are doing instead is adding a front lip and soon rear panels as well as replacing the side panels. That is no different than if you were to buy a bodykit if it were all bundled in 1 package. The Five Axis bodykit is exactly that: Front, Rear, Side panels.

Either the 1 piece bumper or addon lip are both tacky. It depends on which is more tackier than the other. I'd say that a 1 piece bumper that retains the original look while also having the lip molded to the panel would look the least bit tacky of the bunch, but there isn't anything available like that yet and I doubt there will be in the future.

 

KJ I'm in the same boat as you. However I will be waiting until RS releases their entire lip kit. So I know how it looks. Currently I'm dead set on the Five Axis kit because it is the only lip kit I can get. However I'm not a big fan of the $1200 price tag. Hopefully RS's kit will be much cheaper.

 

Our kit will be much less expensive and based off of the cement SEMA car from 2010. We'll be working with Justin early next year to get the rest of the kit finished

 

In case u guys forgot what the tC2 RS is talking about...
