design deficiency in the diffuser
Ok, so after waaaay too long of waiting for weather to clear and enough time to be able to install these awesome pieces, I've finally got it finished. The CF is all rounded out, with Amplified's CF Roof wing, Limited Edition's CF Mirror Caps, and then AUTOKITS-X's CF Front Lip/Splitter and CF Rear Valence. Alex shot a bullseye yet again, and even though I'm sure everyone has a good feel for it, I'll review every part of the process.
Shipping/Communication: 10/10
No questions asked, Alex is one of the easiest people to work with. He answered all my questions quickly and with knowledgeable answers, and was incredibly helpful. FedEx screwed up the shipping and lost my front lip so he made another one and had it shipped out right away.
Fitment: 10/10
The front lip is TIGHT. It fits incredible snug on the bumper, which I think is perfect. I would rather it be very, very form fitting that too big and have gaps every where. I had to play with it a little bit to make it fit just right, but if you start from the passenger side and work your way over, it fits 100%. And the fact that it was SOOOO easy to install by myself was really nice too. You don't need to spend money having a shop install this, just DIY!
The rear valence is probably one of the easiest installs I've ever done, and I thought it would be much more difficult. It fits perfectly and Alex includes the screws to secure it and make sure it will NEVER come off unless you want it to.
OVERALL LOOK/SATISFACTION: 10/10
It gives my G the exact look I was going for...I LOVE having the OB G with the subtle offset of CF. Now I've got enough CF on the car to stand out, but still be subtle enough that it blends well with the OB of the car. I'm definitely happy with the front lip and rear valence.
For those of you wondering about the drop, I am dropped on an Eibach PK. When I measured before the drop, I was sitting at about 5.5" (it was almost the exact length of a $1 bill) and after the lip install I was sitting at about 4.5". The lip only brought me down 1" which was much less than I was expecting!!!
GREAT WORK ALEX!!!
now for the pictures you all have been waiting so eagerly and patiently for

#1 you are installing another piece over the OEM bumper which is why stick out.
#2 it has a different style
#3 you are buying an aftermarket part and can not always please everyone only because the plate sticks down over the edge (in some states you don't need to have the plate in the front bumper)
I don't know if the other lips have the same issue as you call it, maybe the same or not.. like i said depends on the style.
Thanks,
