looks good bro. now you need the front part of the kit

recaroem2 · 04-24-2008, 09:29 AM

fornt of kit does not work witht he fogs. bought a CF front lip and its int he mail on its way to me!!!!!

oddmut · 04-24-2008, 09:30 AM

how's the type flex riding for you? it's quite stiff compared to the basics/ss.

i think the flexs are 670 front and 780 rear. and the basics/ss is 340 front and 450 rear.

recaroem2 · 04-24-2008, 09:33 AM

car handles like a dream on smooth roads. any imperfection in the road causes mad issues. and mad bump stear. would never put these on a daily driver and or a car that does not wanna hit up a track. but thats just my opinion

smk · 04-24-2008, 09:41 AM

have yet to see a CF lip on a 04-05...
post up once you install it!

oddmut · 04-24-2008, 09:49 AM

thanks for the heads up.

I do find the basics stiff enough for basic road handling and the flexs looked delicious but they were double the stiffness so i was like hmmm.

but thanks again!

polo609 · 04-24-2008, 10:44 AM

Your car looks bang on man, friggin sweet. Which CF lip did you get, the mugen or type r style? Ive got the mug on the way, and a new front bumper...i know how it feels to let all the anxiety out, props on a sweet ride.

stinkypinky1011 · 04-24-2008, 11:05 AM

the front kit does work with the fog cause it worked for me.

recaroem2 · 04-24-2008, 12:12 PM

LatinEM2 · 04-24-2008, 02:17 PM

Very nice! What rails did you use on the Recaros?

integraa972 · 04-24-2008, 04:17 PM

Pnoymugen · 04-24-2008, 09:59 PM

Car looks good man, the wheels looks nice. there are quite a few 04-05 (including myself) that's rocking an aero front with factory fogs, they fit with just a little trimming

recaroem2 · 04-25-2008, 05:25 AM
