yeeeaa... it does look kind of dumb without a front lip. funny thing is, i think it had one on there before i bought the car (i can see the marks that the lip left behind on the front bumper). previous owner must have sold it seperately.

im planning on getting the amuse R1 front-- so i dunno about splurging on a oem front lip.

as for the wheels and offset:
-the ever popular F:17x8+45 and R:17x9+45
-running 225's and 255's bfg g-force ta kd
-rolled fenders/modified rear bumper
-dropped on buddy club N+ coilovers with about a finger gap at all four corners
-running -1.5* camber in the fron and -2.0* in the rear
--no rubbing whatsoever--
