Cool

Mine looks exactly like yours.
Except for the fact that my car is Red and I still have the stock wheels.

How much do those wheels weigh?! They look like they weigh 50 pounds! (that's without the rubber... )

Later,

Looks good. I have one on mine too. It replaced the stock R2 that was pretty smashed. Get ready to scrape on everything I think it adds a lot to the look of the car for a little money. I seemed to notice some downforce when I put mine on.

i hear that it actually does produce downforce, I don't know if it's mental or not, but it does feel a little better on the highway above 80 though.

What exactly did you have to do to modify the lip to fit your car?

Hello, Mr. Kitty Cat

I'm pretty sure you don't have to modify anything. RP just bolted mine on.

Fat Dave, that's a nice white FD. Now you just need Efini emblems and you're set :p

rich,

i think there's one hole you have a to drill that i know of. other than that, its pretty straight forward i hear, but it does stick out a little on the side.....it isnt a PERFECT match for the US spec front end.

Mr. Mahtab

you do have to drill 1 extra hole on each side to line it up with the fasteners. Doesn't take too long to do. It took me about 20 minutes to take the old lip off and put the new one on. On mine, it slightly bulges out on the side, but doesn't extend into the wheel well. I'll try to get some close ups of it so that you guys can see.
