I actually found one, ships straight from Japan total price plus shipping is around $300. Still cheaper than the STI lip so I think its worth, I might buy one myself soon.

I did the same thing at first PkL but it kinda tore when it rubbed somewhere, so I removed it. Now there is this sticky residue from the 3m tape that is like impossible to remove under my bumper.

Mine has held up surprisingly well. So I'll just leave it. Have you tried goo be gone or something similar?

I think even WD40 would work well and it's such an inconspicuous place too. So just let her have it.

Stoner Tarminator Bug and Tar Remover works really well and it's safe for your paint.

Thanks! I definitely try using that. On a side-note, new things to come, going to change my 14 inch magnaflow muffler on my cat-back to a 12 inch XR-1 borla sportsman muffler. Then I am going to change my rims to 18x7.5 inch Enkei NT03M in silver with H&R springs. Should happen within a month or so.

i reckon you will and not only that you will need to roll your guards plus camber
ive got 2 degree on the front and 2.5 on the rear
i still need adjustable rear camber arms to even them out and it still rubs a bit up drive ways

So basically the widest our car can handle is 8.5 inches right, any bigger, you have to mess with the camber?

Hmm so instead I recently bought new Advan RG2s in bright chrome 17x8.5 +45. I was wondering what tire size would be best so that I have no issues would 250 be fine or 245?

Nice umm 235/40 or 45 /17 should be good the profile is in milimetres so if you measure it off the edge of rims and it may give you a rough idea if you measure 40mm 45mm etc
