I will take pictures without center peice in tomorrow when i do the install. Im not sure it will look that great. It's not going to look complete with the center section not installed. It will look exactly like what it is... something missing.

Damn that unparallel line is driving me nuts especially painted (photoshop) cause you know its there but its like you're trying to hide it.

Ill have to see other angles. :D

I don't see it being that big of a deal. Looked clean when I held it up .. But I do see where you are coming from. Maybe if it was made to ride that line up it would be better but I am a fan as is.

I think boost wants to do whole lip blue and the fangs black. That's my plan but it looks good all black in the middle as well.

Your making it drive you nuts. If you follow the line on the lip it gets smaller from the front to the back, to me that makes it balance out.

i looked at my car again and that decorative line on the bumper is very distinct. Will need to see more picts. :)

not a fan of doing the whole center area black, might as well cut the whole center of the bumper out, idk just not enough contrast for me.

To those with CF fangs and want this lip...who has the guts to do what Evo-r said and cut fang cover where lip and fangs meet? :tup: to whoever would try this first. Very interested in how this would turn out whenever more lips become available, but I don't want to be the first to F that up.

kenchan 09-13-2010 10:05 AM

i would not cut the fang, but i would trim off the top portion of the CF center lip and add black mounting tape where it meets the CF fang (fujimura rear diffuser joker black mounting tape they included would be perfect for this app :D ).

The line on the bumper actually matches the angle of the "fin?" on the side peice of the front lip. Fitment is 9/10. Carbon fiber center peice was about .50" short in length. Split the difference as you can see in the pictures. Side peices fit PERFECT and overall... i think it looks f*cking AMAZING!! I love it. Big ups to EVO-R for making such a clean front lip. Worth every penny. Now, ill let the pictures do the talking...

Minor fitment issue:

Side peices are molded perfectly to bumper:

Wow, so sexy. That is understated and yet adds just enough visual pop to really make the car stand out. Beautiful!

tsolin01 09-13-2010 05:12 PM

Looks awesome on black. I do think the side profile needs something to bring it together. :tup: can't wait to see what it looks like on blue

That looks really nice. I think I would like to try out the 1 pc cf lip with my cf front fang. (whenever it becomes available)

Question, all the screws goes on the bottom of the bumper right? No drilling on the front of the bumper, am I correct?

Yes all screws are on the bottom. 3 on the bottom and 1 in the wheel well on each side... 3 on the underside of the center peice.

There is a lip on the inside of the side pieces near the top to use 3M tape as well as the back side of the center piece. They send 2 rolls of 3M tape along with the screws and that stuff sticks like crazy, but you have to clean the car really good. I forgot to clean 1 side and it didn't stick for ****. I used a bug and tar remover. Safe on clear coat but stripped some of the wax off. Now they are stuck so good, i cant take them off without having to yank pretty hard on it and even then it's very difficult. (had to remove center section to split difference in shortage of length and almost couldn't get it un-stuck)

Looks good. I like it!
