it takes to seconds to drill holes. Id rather drill my own anyway for a piece like this... you can get the piece to fit tighter by making the holes slightly higher than they need to be.

I received my JDP lip today, it came in a day early

. Here's some pics:

Don't know what to say other than im really impressed. I can't wait to get it installed. Here's a pic of the stock wing in case anyone wants to compare the CF:

And i'll definitely post pics after the install... although that may be another two or three weeks from now.

On my EVO I didnt want to go carbon fiber as I do not like the two tone color look on the front. So I went with the EBAY FPR one for $250 and I love it. Here are some shots of it on my EVO:

that looks pretty good gonzer, did it come painted when you bought it?

Oh crap that was the wrong picture. A buddy of mine was messing with photoshop on that one. We were trying out how it would look if we bondo'd the seam...

It did not come painted. A friend of mine painted it for me. The color matches really good in person. Here is the actual photo:

Hah, since i only changed the air filter for a K&N drop in, the shift knob, and the lip, i'm definitely still calling my car stock... so you'll still have someone else getting fun of at the meets
