Hey! I know that car!

Depends on how the rest of your car looks. Post a picture of your car and it will be easier to see how it will look.

The lip isn't large enough to fit all the way around the chuki bumper, it's going to be about a quarter inch short on both sides. My lip was modified to fir the chuki bumper, I'm not sure how though. MrGreenEyes was the one who owned my lip before me, perhaps he'll come in here and say how it was modified.

I vote NO on the lip. That's an OEM Chuki lip. I used to have one. Once you go thru the hassle of putting it on, you'll be sorely disappointed in how little anyone can even notice its there (yourself included). It doesn't stand out AT ALL.

Get a pignose lip or a Xenon lip instead. Oh yeah and lose those stickers and crappy fitting wheels while you're at it...

well good tires is a plus

my set up cost me 475 for the tires alone

but yokohama parada spec IIs are pretty legit and new is always expensive

maybe the high retail of those will help when you upgrade! but yea chucki lips are sweet

and your car is very clean
