I can say that if i was going to kit my car i would do this same exact kit because its suttle...
Ill be the first to throw up a combo breaker.
Its not for everyone but I love my kit. its not everyday you see a FC, and a kitted one on the streets is pretty rare in my opinion.
Hopefully ill repaint in a year and knock out more of the imperfections but I love it.
If you really want a car that stands out, go for the kit.

I have one that someone was supposed to buy but never did, I made it very flexible.
It is meant to paint or you would have to sand and polish it, I did not make it shiny gelcoat ( which I offered as a option when I was making them )
I only stopped because first of all I have a busy shop and little time for these things. I dont have undocumented workers or little boys in taiwan banging these things out with a chopper gun, they are all hand laid glass and high quality resin. I also ran a group buy and time ran out on that. I had to source out custom boxes to cut down on the shipping cost, between making them, boxing them, etc its a losing proposition for me. It was just meant to be a fun project and if I ever damaged my own lip again I could just make myself one and not pay the $65 shipping others charge
I would get some people who said it fit great, and some who I can only suspect car's were a big banged up .
I fit this lip on a s4 car and a s5 car that I personally owned and it fit them perfect to 95%+ perfect which I feel is all you can ask of a aftermarket fiberglass part going on a 20+ year old car that relies on the alignment of the fenders and bumper, any of those are out a bit you wont notice until you go to bolt a semi-rigid piece such as a lip up then things start to show up. Others would go strictly off my holes and sometimes that doesn't work for your mounting holes and requires some adjustment, some people get this principle and some do not.

@ SikFC3S: thanks man. ill definetly get some kinda thread going when its done. things gone threw paint, new motor, turbo, standalone, suspension work, brakes, ect ect. but anyways the guy u need to hit up is right above me "Rob XX 7". Shine makes really good diffusers, cant say to much cause i dont own one, but they look really good.
@Rob: mine fit dead on. Ofcoarse i had to pull and adjust the fenders abit. But like u said these are 20+ year old cars so that was to be expected. I drilled the holes alittle bigger than necessary to give me room to move it around a bit and just replaced the screws with bolts and oversized washers to make it even more secure/sturdy. so these are no longer for sale huh?

mine didnt come with hardware. but then again, i didnt even know it was supposed to 
i remember u gave me a really reasonable price so sourcing up extra bolts and washers was not a problem either way, especially since i have em all over my garage haha.
its good to hear u can make them whenever, im in no particular rush as id be buying this as a spare anyways. i will be contacting u with in a month and see if we can do business again. doing taxes tomorrow and hoping uncle sam is good to me this year again

considering another run of these if there is interest.
I think I have a few upstairs that are meant for paint, I can sell them painted in basic white or black, and of course white or black gelcoat finish.
Remember I make these in-house, fiberglass is not a hobby for me it is how I make a living.
