Default GT3tek lip on...

Well after almost zero communication, no tracking information or purchase confirmation my lip showed up 2 weeks later... at my house when it was supposed to be shipped to my office... Either way, stocked I got it and I love the way it looks. I dont think I will be painting it, as I want to eventually get black wheels on the car as well. Had to put the lip out in the sun for 4 hours to get it flexible enough to install with no issues.

Looks great! Did you install with bumper cover on the car or did you remove it to install? Does it use screws or just two sided tape?

Here's mine. I agree that GT3tek's communication is not the best, but the product is good. Leaving it out in the sun to warm up is advisable as it comes rolled up in a little box. In addition to the supplied tape, I also used a few strategically placed screws just to ensure it stays secure.

Overall a very good, cost effective product.

I used A Screw on both wheel fenders, two screws underneath the middle and the applicator and tape that came with the lip.

I sat on the ground and installed it myself (which was hard on a lowered car) and kept the bumper on. Really you could just roll up onto a couple 2x6's and install it if you need more clearance

Here's a pic of mine. I installed it about three years ago. It's holding up great so far. A very cost effective solution!

Nice looking add-on, they don't show any application for 02-04, only for 01 and older.

Hey its my car not yours .... And the lip looks great painted like the yellow car.. I just want some contrast and with black wheels in my mind it will look great

I'm not a fan of a lot of peoples mods on here (mostly wheels), but I try to keep my opinion silent.

I think it looks great, and thanks for posting your feedback on the quality. While I love the lips painted, my car is so low it scrapes quite a lot, and I'm afraid it would just look worse.

Gotta take the good with the bad...
most guys over in the 996tt section loathe mine with the passion of a thousand ****** because of what's been done to it. Eh... no biggie.
