Thumbs up quick pic...journey lip installed on sport

well finally it is done! for those of you who dont know, I used to have the sport lip. I think the journey lip looks super clean.

Had some minor fitment issues with the TK spoiler, so no pics of that. I will have a complete photoshoot once I get all my goodies on!

and yes, a drop will be coming soon

i think i like the blacktop aero/GT Spec front lip b/c it has cleaner lines. the journey lip does look better than the sport now.

its funny, now when I look at the sport lip I think it looks ugly. journey lip ftw!

i stopped holding my breath for coilovers for the x, so I think I going either Eibach or Tanabe springs. May do it in the spring though.

i just need my tk rear spoiler now....

bat, thanks for the pics. You have the same setup as me (LP w/midnight grill) and I have been debating the Journey lip and the Kenstyle (or Blacktop), and I am still torn....

I agree though, the sport lip is out for me... No offense to the owners, but I think it looks like doo doo to me.... Too much going on, and the lines just don't do the car justice.

Looks cleaner than the sport lip IMHO.

Also, I know this has been spoken about before, but are you running a staggered set of coupe rims? Is it messing up the AWD? How did you get around this issue?

Car looks hot!

I like the Sport lip better. I wouldn't put either on my car though! I think the car looks better without the lips! But the Journey lip doesn't flow with the design of the sport bumper IMO!

Looks great,Brian. Glad to see you finally got it installed. D you kow how much of the front bumper they had to chop away to get it to fit and if it would be visible if the lip was ever removed?

I still prefer the Sport lip, but may end up switching to this one sometime just to change up the look of my car.... Kuddo's for being different, though!
