Thanks! Just need some fender flares and I will be happy till the next mod. I was going to go with a small lip until I put the ACI High-rise hood on. Then it just looked out of balance.

I say a molded spoiler thats part of the rear fascia would've been better, but the car looks mean anyways. Just a personal preference I guess.

I bet it will. my friend let me borrow his before he put it on to see what it looks like. It looked really good until I put the non-popup headlights in. You should post up some pics of it when you get it on.
