Cant see too much from that, but looks pretty cool from what i can make out. Always wondered if the ss lip would work before i bought my lip..
My 09 coupe, I bought it brand new. I've done all the work myself except window tint. I wish it was an SS but I keep it looking nice and enjoy a dependable daily driver.
This was right after I bought it...

Then the mods began...









I powder coated the valve cover myself and also made the coil cover myself.

Yeah it would but it only had a couple of usable factory clips left on it so I ghetto engineered it to work. It sure beat paying $200 or whatever for a new one. And I wasn't entirely sure how well it would hold just using 3m double sided tape.
That's kinda what I figured. But I don't really care about my bumper cause it's scratched up a lot already. I need a new one but that's not my biggest priority. Plus ghetto stuff like that might make people more likely to try and race me now that I'm supercharged. Haha
