That looks amazing! I need to get it for my BB 8 as well as my 94 Probe GT.
Great find! :D

It is definitely worth it. I know I need a paint job, but from a far with the new wax job, no one would know.

CA New JIC Strut bars finally installed!!
I finally got around to getting my strut bars installed. I like the fact that I was able to install the rear brace and not have to pull out my spare tire. SAFETY!! LOL

Some dirty pics taken in the country today. I took these pics after driving 1 mile down a dirt gravel road.

Slightly offtopic, how scuffed up is the underside lower edge of your front ground effects after that gravel road?

I basically crawled down the road so no chips at all Grass pics always makes your car look lower than it is so the front is not dropped as much as it appears.

Good question and not sure I'd like to find out I think it would be ok if it was not a direct hit at high speed. I would be more concerned hitting a cone head on causing it to get caught under the lip and somehow ripping it off the bumper.

lol Gotcha. I guess what I mean is, is it as tough as the poly urethane lip apart of the GT kit? Because that's strong enough for sure after the cones I've NAILED head on...lol

Not sure on strength but definitely not forgiveness. Being different material the CF is not going to flex like the OE lip.
