R-Magic Lip installed

Finally got my R-Magic lip from the paint shop yesterday afternoon and installed it as soon as I got home from work. Had to install the stock sides (Thanks 4 years)
also so I ran out of daylight. Don't mind the 17" wheels. I gave my wife my 18's for he 03 Accord until my new wheels arrive. My new wheels will look similar
to the ones in the pics but will be 18's. The fronts will be 18x8 with a 2.5" lip and the rears will be 18x9 with a 3" lip. I will post more pics once I get the new wheels but pls enjoy these for now.

Looks good. Am considering the same for my BB. Now you need to get the matching side skirts and rear bumper and you'll be set!

I think it looks good without the full sides just the Aero flares and front mud flaps..looks nice, that is what I did. Keeps things simple..

Looks very tight.

I live in the N. VA area and have REALLY been trying to get this lip. Seems like every time I'm about to get it something comes up (like my cat called it quits). I would love to see it in person though.

PM me if it's cool with you.

Looks good!

the new rims are better than your old set i think..... Mesh wheels on the 8's are a definate winner!

Got some other things going on as well but when I get the cash I plan on it.

Funny you said that. My in-laws came to vist this weekend and one of the first things my mother-in-law said when she saw my car was these wheels look much better.

If you are ever headed to the Charlottesville area send me a pm and I might be able to arrange something.

I love how that GTO spoiler works with the car. If one already has the factory front air dam, how much effort would it be to swap to this lip? Also, where are the clear corners? :D

Yes...I do. Did not want to lower the car until I saw how low the lip was to the ground. I don't think I will be lowering it anytime soon if I want to get into my driveway.

I did not have the stock lip so I'm not sure. The R-Magic lip was very easy to install.....about 45 mins. Had to drill a few holes in the fender liners for the screws that hold it at the back of the bumper but other than that the 3M tape holds it in place very well. I am going to replace the screws with rivets once I install my grilles.


Sorry don't care to much for the clear corners. If I ever add them it will be the last thing I do.
