link to pictures of the new OEM EP3 lip and wing kit......
I posted a few weeks ago about the Canadian "GFX" package which is something that our U.S. dealers are supposed to get ahold of pretty soon also. Finally some pictures have surfaced of the actual kit mounted and painted on a white EP. The spoiler is nice (Type R) but the rest of the kit looks awful. Check out the fitment and the styling doesn't really match the car at all. Judge for yourself.
Here's the link to all the pictures at ephatch.com:

the rear bumper is definately
the rest is OK, but fitment does appear to be off. I bet they'll cahrge an extra $1,000 for it as well

I like the kit... gives it more of an agressive look (especially the front where it looks plain without a kit *my opinion*) Bump for a good car...
I think that it looks awful. The front looks terrible if you don't have a front plate, which most EP owners down here in FL don't have. I agree about the wing, it looks hot. I just don't see why they don't remold the Type-R kit for USDM bumpers. Definitely would have cost them less than creating that abomination.
I like the spoiler and thats pretty much it, the rest of the kit is just too ugly, the kit makes the front and rear bumpers look like the toyota matrix from the side.

Looks nice...
And for everyone disliking it, what is the difference between this looks wise, and the Inegra kit? Sides look similar...

I can't help feeling that the difference between this body kit and the CTR body kit lies with the whole North American import car "scene". The CTR kit looks like it's functional, and looks like it was styled with the European "Just enough to do the job" type of mindset. This kit looks like it was styled with the "Hey look! I've got a body kit." consumer in mind.
Some of the styling cues draw so much attention to the fact that it's a kit that it seems to have been planned that way. The upper edge of both the front and rear pieces follow the upper edge of the character line while on the sides of the car, but then drop down to the lower edge of the character line when they get to the front or rear of the piece. There's no harmony at all with any other elements of the car's styling in the transition of that drop. The upper edge of the kit all the way around the car protrudes farther out with a definite edge, instead of the nice "rolled" edge the CTR kit has tucked up against the body of the car.
To me, the only element of this package I'd be remotely interested in is the rear spoiler.

also thinks it would have been better to mold CTR kit to US bumpers...the wing is nice and side skirts too if they didn't stick out AS much, but i'm really not feeling the front and back lips
That thing is horrid, looks like something that APC made. UGLY in my opinioin. All except for the wing and the sides i can live with. It's to obvious that it's added on, doesn't look like the fitment is right, looks like something that came out of my a$$
