Default Pics with my Racing Dynamics lip installed

Got the car back from the shop on Friday, after finally getting the lip that's been sitting around in my room for god knows how long installed. Figured I'd toss up some pics, since it's not a commonly seen part.




Oh, and I'll be getting a front plate delete strip sometime soon, thank god.

Wow, your front plate area looks way different than mine. Mine looks like it's designed for the Euro plate with american holes drilled. Weird. Take a look:

Damn that looks good,hows does it install, does it just attach to the bottom or does it replace the bottom part under the fog lights?
Oh and how much did it cost, total?


pnosker, you have the euro plate holder on there.

It pops on to the bumper, covering the area below the fog light. There's a section that slots into where the grill is, and it also extends into the wheelwells. It's glued to the bumper, and a little "just-in-case" support is added by a few screws in the wheelwell. If I remember correctly, the lip cost me somewhere between 200 and 250 dollars, and it was an extra 100 on top of that to get it installed and painted.

Edit-According to Paypal, the lip cost me $235.

That's a really nice lip, looks good installed.... How did you get your tails to be all red? Did you spray them all red or did something else?

it would look a lot better if you dropped your car a bit. Do you plan on putting a new suspension set up on the car.

For all those who asked about the tails, they're sprayed; it's something I picked up off a Porsche board I used to visit. I can write up a DIY, if there's any interest in it.

madfronter, suspension will come once I manage to get some source of income; being 17 kills me in the local job market. The wheelgap is exaggerated in those pictures due to the incline of my driveway, but it is pretty high with the stock setup.

Mallard, barring any inexpensive DIY mods that I may come up with, suspension or exhaust are the likely candidates for the next mod. If I could find a hartge spoiler, though, that'd move to the top of my list. (I want one, badly.)

Edit - ATF, the lip cost me $235, plus another 100 for paint and installation.
