Installed A R34gtt Front Lip

[satanic]

As the title says, I have just finished installing a R34GTT Front Lip... FL was purchased from Carmate.com last week and installed today. Basically, the FL is my solution to the constant front bar scrapage I get whenever going up my own driveway - being a cheap bodykit item; I thought why not. Better to damage the lip than the bar ~

Overall opinion on the product quality was good - even my picky mechanic/tuner said so (most people I know don't rate Carmate products). There was some very questionable mounting "bungs" that were included but they were promptly cut off

Installation and painting took a total of 4 hours all in the same day - below are photos of the finished product, even had time to go back and fix up bits and pieces from my Front Bar (from FMIC install) that weren't cut quite correctly last time. Now the FL looks like it was there from day one, there is no loose plastic/fibreglass to be found on Bar/Lip.

NB:

I am also very pleased to say that I now have my washer bottles working again Universal kit purchased from SuperCheap Auto did the job and surprisingly it looks stock! We removed the original stuff completely and put the 1L bottle next to the battery - perfect fit

mmmmm, looks hot, damn hot ^^.

Thanks again for the pod filter and BC install, had a blast on the way home listening to the wonderful sound of th pod filter and reving the shit out the car lol. Who needs a blow off, when the sound of induction is even better.

how much was the paint stan?

[Forged]

very nice mate, how much did it cost u all up(painting n fitting) if u dont mind me asking? thought u were going for the east bear one, but this looks good too!

[satanic]

Paint job was $120.00 all inclusive as it was done by the guy opposite my mate's workshop. Total cost of the project adds up to be $400.00 (part, paint and fitting)

Even though this is verging on $500, it is still considerably lower than the East Bear product - personal preference and wallet size I guess

I think if I had bought the lip via Group Buy as once suggested, I would've got away with $380.00 all up - but $20 oh well

Have you got a before pic to see the difference? I can't remember exactly what it's like. It's not the same as mine is it? (Aero)

Looks just like mine except for the intercoolers. The car came as it is from Japan stock standard. Just ordered the Blitz coolers and enjoying modding it month after month. I like your clear indicators mate. Enjoy ur drive!!
