Unfortunately I am unable to post photos of my lip spoiler. However, here is a link to the photos.

I went with a Kaminari Lipspoiler kit. Cost me about $720.00us from Aerotrends (Aerotrends.com). It was easier then I thought to install. Next to impossible if done alone, so I recommend you have someone help you out.

Here ya go. I kind of like this better than kaminari. It's subtle yet a little bit aggressive. I used to like the aggressive look with the huge vents in the front but I thought... I don't wanna advertise to the world that I have a kit and COME JACK MY CAR! lol. It's urethane so you can bend it and stretch it as much as u want to get it on without it breaking. However, it was cake to put it on all you need is like 4 screws and like 8 inches of tape... at most... if at all.

I hope that helped.

you can drop your car almost 2 in without sacrificing ride quality..
even if you don't it sounds more like an excuse than anything.. have you riden in a car that has a good set of performance springs?

Excuse for what? Because i'm ashamed that i'm too poor that i can't buy performance springs or something? If so would that mean you're making fun of poor people? And actually right now I don't have the money for it but I'd like to do it if it was posisble to have the exact same quality as an OEM suspension. I just bought my car in Feb 2003 and I already have a lot of things done to it IMO. A bodykit tint and rims is pretty major to me. I mean if you're rich then good for you that you can just buy a car and have enough money and time to be able to throw in a painted kit, tint, rims, exhaust, intake, headers, turbo, drop, HID system, and audio system all before you put one mile on it. For the rest of us all our cars are works in progress that require TIME and MONEY. I guess everyone that is driving stock is making up lame excuses coz their cars aren't modded. Or maybe they just don't wanna mod. I guess my excuse would be that it's going to snow soon, my fair amount of n00bosity regarding suspension mods, and the fact that I don't want to ruin my suspension or car's performance doing suspension mods or putting I/H/E. I just thought that any drop sacrifices ride quality. I guess I was wrong. Please forgive me. I am a suspension n00b and I'm just starting to look into it. Again, forgive me.

I just think that suspension mods are more trouble than they're worth but that's just my opinion.

Good ride quality but stock shocks blowing 8 months later doesn't count as a good drop to me either.

Nor do ebay springs...

Thanks for the heads up on those though.

DIY
I read the DIY and I saw his reflector and apparently it's a silver reflector that's painted yellow, correct? The whole bottom half of mex's light isn't even orange like mine. His looks cool too but our lights do not look the same.

On the other hand, I took my yellow plastic lens and cut it right down the middle, leaving the top half clear and the bottom half yellow. I like the look of the yellow lens right up flush on the clear housing of the headlight, not set back the way it appears to be on Mex's. But that's just personal preference.

Theeerefore.... i think you're mistaken. I think.

the Eibach prokit (springs) lowers only 1 inch and pretty much rides like stock... its just a little bit stiffer but your handling is improved....

If you want adjustability, go with a full coilover setup like the Tein SS...

the tein springs are a bad azz deal because if you look you can get them for about120$ for a full set ... they will improve the drivability of the car by sooo much with about 1.7in-2in drop you will not sacrifice
ride quality on a good set of springs.. plus you will love to drive you car.. 7th gens have alot of body roll and suspension is the most effective upgrade for our cars.. thats why everyone with a strut bar is amazed by the difference in driveability. it makes a huge diff it is a little stiff but it doesnt ride bad at all its just going to feel more agressive thats a good thingimp:
