Looks excellent!

Now try not to scrape it like everyone else :P

yeah, already proving to be easier said than done :P

Looks tops man. Yours sits out quite a bit more then mine. You must have sat yours forward a bit more then I did mine.

Great result though.

Cheers,
Shazza

yeah i sat it a bit forward so the sides met up flush with the body work :)

hear ye hear ye! done ma lip with the TypeR one. looks the goods imo :D

Ended up buying it for 120 at jdm yard in revesby last friday after work at 5.45 and quickly taped it up just cos i culdnt wait to see before goin to the pub to work at 8 lol. Then finished it this morning with pat's help.

Was a little difficult to pull off, has small gaps noticeable only when close, and dips upward toward the wheel-wells, which i dont mind. Might chuck in two more screws here to be on the safe side..

Took it for a spin and it only scraped once, got a really steep and 'notorious' speed up/pedestrian crossing, but on the down side it scraped a tad but no worries..

tell me if u like!?

looks awesome mate!

probably going to source the lip through jdmyard as well. going to carbon fibre wrap it to see if it looks any good.

Hey dude, you should invest in some chrome bulbs for your indicators. It make the headlights look 1000x better!

Yeah this'd be nice.. for now ill paint the metal mesh black until i get the rest of my parts sprayed. or leave as is, idk yet.

looks awesome mate!

as it's quite a large feature, imo, only carbon fibre it if u have something else wrapped too -like your scoop..or it might look out of place as its so thick.. do u have anything already wrapped?

dont cut you springs, been there done that, lasted a few weeks, now im rolling on kingys from a gc8.
the pic above is about where the impreza is sitting, i wouldnt suggest going this low, driveways and speed bumps become a prob, ive also found i bottom out and bumpy roads and the zorts hits the ground. but looks sick....

i love front lips on subys, i got one, mates getting one, and i love the integra lip, id just colour code that grill.

These are what I got dude. When you first put them in they may seem like they don't fit, you gotta force them and then they will.
