Come on nan, lets see the excessive amount of pics you took while doing your lip install. I predict 8 pictures.

I took no pictures *during* the install because it's just 10 bolts

I am taking pictures now, and later this afternoon of the car though. They'll be up soon enough

This is blasphemy! This is madness! I would have expected a pic for each bolt. I'm going to be bugging you with questions later, looking forward to seeing the end result.

2nd that motion, I just finished installing Fasrwrx.com V-limited polyurthane replica few minutes ago, so let's see the real deal

P.S. you might not want to use all of the mounting points, because when there is a force is acted on the lip, your entire front bumper might come off

Judging how flimsy the real thing is, I'm pretty sure it'll shatter and flop before it rips anything off

I'm downloading pics now, and editing. They'll be up in a while

you're slow as hell you know that?

I was at a local's house "helping" with installs for the last 5 hours

^^^What a crappy 1000th post in my thread

I shoot my pictures in RAW mode (it records every pixel's data, unlike JPEG which is a compressed image). I have to post-process the pictures, resize (since native size is 3456 x 2304 pixels), and upload.

Patience m'er f'er

I have 10+ shots to post

So... I installed the lip this morning, without a jack or jackstands. It's a bit tight to install it, but I didn't have a problem. The (Genuine) 04/05 STi V-limited uses 14 bolts to attach the lip to the front bumper, of which 10 use OEM holes. The additional 4 bolts require drilling into the underside of the splitters. I did not drill for those today... I will mark the holes and take the lip off when I put my summer tires on, and drill at that point. I will also peel the blue cellophane off the lip's STi badge at that time

I *love* the look. I couldn't stop smiling every time I looked at the car...it's unreal what a V-limited lip does for the 04/05...just looks even more aggressive

Ok, pics are what ya came for, so here they are:



























Goldies and sway bars go on in two weeks. Also hoping to give her the full Zaino treatment that weekend... Should be some good pics thereafter

Also, I thought this comparison was kind of cool
