If anything my car is higher than stock with the tires and rims I got on there, but i'll put the stockies back on for the final measurement.

No suspension upgrades as of now.

I'll get the pictures and the measurements before I set the paint booth up, so it should be a week or so.

Allthough the lip itself looks thin, its a damn good composite. Had that thing bending to last week without any of those pesky spider cracks. fing02.gif

Just because a kit might feel "thin", that's not necessarily a bad thing. With high-end fiberglass such as this, it gives the lip a "semi-flex" feel--which of course is highly desirable for everyday driving, not to mention the longevity of the fiberglass.

I was extremely pleased with these when they arrived. They came out a lot better than I was expecting!

I believe there's 6 remaining. I will never be importing these again due to low demand. Once these are sold off, this lip will be permanently discontinued.

That's a shame, this should have been done as a Group Buy, you would have had a bunch sold immediately.

Right now, folks are waiting to see one installed, more of them will sell after that.

As I said via PM, this is my next purchase, I just have to wait for this GK shit I have sitting here to sell.

No reason to do a GB simply because of the fact that I've priced them AT or BELOW a GB rate anyway! If people are waiting to see one installed, that's ridiculous because we've all seen GT Tech's promo pics anyway. What the heck is the difference?

Sadly, this proved that it's simply not worth my time to help out people on these boards. I mean seriously...EVERYONE was like "I want a GT Tech lip. Please get them for us! Please please please! I'll need it SOOOOOOO bad!" I went nuts trying to get them--and when I finally did, everyone disappeared. That's messed up.

No offense my man, but there was only 5 folks in that thread saying they wanted one.

Actually, if you would have done a GB, you could have sold them all before they got here.

GT Tech's promo pics, they are like 6 or 7 years old, maybe folks want to see pics of the kit right now? Mounted on a car from the forums? With someone here telling them how well it fits?

I'd say that's the difference.

Don't get so pissy man, did you PM the folks in this thread? ONe of those 5 is me, and I'm still buying one. Another of the 5 was Sea Ray Tech, and he bought one. Loneshark wasn't one of the 5, and he bought one. If it is too time consuming, I can send the other guys all PM's for you, I'd post the link for this thread in the old one too.

I even said in there you should get one sold, get pics and info about one installed, and then the rest will sell. I know I'd be working that much harder to get one if I had more info on it and how it currently fits and such. Unfortunately, I can't buy mine till my new job starts, as I didn't know until about 1 month ago that I wouldnt' be taking classes this summer.

If you aren't wanting to have a forum here anymore, just let us know and we'll remove it. I've offered to have this put on the front page, just contact Sparticus and he'll put it on there for you. It's also going to go on our next site email. Sorry I haven't bought mine yet.

Well if it makes any difference, I'm glad you were able to find them and take the time to get them for us, especially at the price you sold them at.

Theres only a few lips for our cars, and until now one was out of existance, and after these are sold, they will be again.

Even after you dropped the price after I prebuyed, I didn't ask for the rest back because I knew that it was a PITA to get these and you deserved the extra.

After I get mine painted and on, maybe you can change your picture on the website and i'll give you a few nice shots to throw on there. That promo shot doesn't really justify how good it actually looks.

You should understand that everybody wants what they can't afford. The NGM supercharger for example, out of the hundreds of people that said "I will buy one when its done" how many do you think will actually cough up the 3g's for it?

Less and less people are modding they're RD's these days, because its gets to a point where they want performance parts and looks, but they're 8 year old car is now running like crap so they ditch it and get an SRT-4(lol).

I'll try to pick up the pace a bit and get this done to showcase so you can get these movin.

the only reason like i stated before was heigth. I just got my oem front bumper on this weekend after driving it with a crappy erebuni VS knockoff for over a year. I can almost bet when Sea-Ray Tech gets his installed pics up the other 5 will sell like hotcakes.
Don't lose faith in us bud. you just wouldn't believe the size of dips I have in my town. one in particular that is on the main route to my GF's house literally drops the front of my car 10 inches from the flat road, no lie.
