Thanks for the reply. That came to mind after I stare at those photos a little longer. It does look like that it will add another 2-3 in. to the front bumper. That's is definitely something to consider. But I am only on Eibach so I should be ok.

Looks great though, post up more photos when you have time. Your car is looking great!

Looks great b-drizzy! I received my lip last week and it looks like it will fit on my '09 G37X. Did your lip come with any instructions? Mine came with a baggy that included several screws, 2 pins and some brackets, but no instructions as to where those brackets or pins go.

Here are a few pics of the lip on my G. The lip does sag the slightest bit as I wanted it to be flush with the bottom of the front bumper. I think some 3m tape would help with that or possibly a 3rd bracket holding up the middle section. To paint and install, cost me $250, a bit overpriced in my opinion but the paint job was great. Overall, I think it looks pretty good for what it's worth.

For those interested, here are some different angled shots. Sorry for the picture heavy post:

Nice look, and from the pics it looks like a quality paint match.

Hey Ninjitsui, what spring are you dropped on? Eibach? Do you have the measurement of your front ground clearance? I am on eibach and just want to know how low this lip will bring the car to mounting it this way. Thanks!!!

I'm actually on BC Raciing coilovers. I can't lower it any further at the moment or else I can't get up my driveway... I'm dropped about about 1.30'' from stock all around which I think is pretty close to the eibach drop. If I recall correctly, its around 4.5" ground clearance, but I can take an exact measurement later today and get back to you.

Edit: Confirmed, its 4.5" from the lowest point (the edge of the two front flanges) to the ground. I clear most speed bumps except for big ones so be careful, however be prepared to scrap on driveways.

I think b-drizzy installed his lip slightly a bit different. You were suppose to use the brackets and rivets that came with the lip to mount the bottom. ninjiteui1 did it the way that I did mine. But I fixed the problem with the front sagging. Instead of just the 2 brackets that came with it, I made my own brackets for the middle portion of the lip. Theres a total of 5 brackets and bolts underneath my lip to ensure maximum sturdiness and security. did the install myself and painting it only cost me $80.
