Default 99-00 CF lip by Hojo (Review with pics)

I just received my CF lip that I ordered from hojo and I installed it. The lip is very very glossy and it is very light. The quality of this lip is superb. The fitment is excellent, however, it does not use factory mounting spots. Hojo sent with the lip all the recquired hardware to install this lip. Installation took about 30 min. Now here are some pics:







As you can see in the pictures, the fitment is excellent and the lip is very glossy. This is a very nice product and would suggest that if anyone is interested at all that you contact hojo by either PM'ing him or sending him an e-mail at howard_jones@ekit.com Hes a very nice guy and is very easy to work with. I give this lip a 9.5/10 based on looks, installation, quality and fitment. The only thing that disappointed me was that it didnt use factory mounting point. Other than that, this lip is SWEET!

If more pics are wanted let me know, i'll be glad to take some more.

If you want one of these lips, e-mail hojo at howard_jones@ekit.com He builds these himself. He charged 199$ +shipping. I have to say, the mold that he used is like seriously perfect.

yeah, it hangs a little bit low and flares out just a bit too much, but the mold he used is honestly flawless. The fitment is perfect.

When he says a lot of work goes into these lips, he means it. The fitment is seriously like OEM fit. It wrapped around the bumper PERFECTLY. Installation is a breeze..just need to drill a few holes and you're done! If you think its nice, I would order it...made my car look much more aggressive

Nice review. Although, I'm not really feelin' the lip.

Here is the review I did on the Mugen V2 style lip from JDMSh!t.com.

It sounds like the mugen lips suck as far as fitment goes. The lip I made requires no tuging or pulling to get it on. It simply drops in to place.

He is very right. Recquire no tugging or modifying at all. Just laid it on the bumper and it fit perfectly....and when I say perfect, I mean perfect!
