IMO it's just for show and for running deep dish/really wide wheels.

Also hand laid fiberglass/smc/carbon will weight much more than one produced from a vacuum formed mold...

Simply, if the work done to it is performed like crap, it WILL be crap. Done correctly, the body work doesn't pose a direct daily driver threat if you change your driving habits a little. Same goes for properly sized and offsetted wheels and suspension. |

From my experience with the rocket bunny, my front lip was creating a lot of df and actually separated from the bumper, pulled the bolts through the bumper holes. Luckily, not all the way, and was fixable.

I drive my car daily as well, like Robert, with about 10k on the cluster. Not once have I had problems driving my car. Also I have driven my car to Vegas (twice), San Francisco, and various 2/3 hour drives here and there and still no problems. ...then again 'its all for show' and i don't work at a Scion dealership

Yea I agreed, the only thing I know thats pretty functional on the most of the kits available is front lip and rear diffuser. The added lip just make your car look much lower, and I think that definitely prevent a lot of air molecules bumping under your car while driving.
Anyone know if the lip would fit BRZ? I was told it needs to be custom fixed. But in terms of what? cutting? |

Do you know where exactly on the side? The outer most edge of the lip itself under the bumper?
