Default What do you guys think about this?



I'm not a fan of the factory GFX (well not the split-front lip at least) but this kit is starting to grow on me. I like how the lip is all 1 piece. Anyone know if exhaust tips still clear just fine underneath the lip or if there's some way to adjust them to hang just a bit lower?

I like it. IMO it is not flashy/ricey. I would buy it if it isn't fiberglass.

RKSport GFX aren't fiberglass, they're polyurethane. as for clearing the tips, i think that depends on your tips. they seem to clear alright.

The grille? The grille is carbon fiber..

And I like the kit, but you better be careful pulling up to parking blocks because that will scrape like no other..

i've always been a fan of low over lips. It looks like you might have some trouble over bumps with that thing. Not only is it $900 (which is a rip for a little lip), You'll have to paint to match and probably mold it in first for it to look good. Lowering with konis would be cheaper and imo it makes more since to do that.

I believe that the rear of the kit looks like this....so you shouldnt have any problem with your exhaust tips...
