Kwong, nice car! How's the ride with the cupkits? Experiencing any bottoming out/scrapping?

I would think the car would look much lower. Front looks lower (not much) but not the rear.

coppermine,
The ride is actually good, no problem or what so ever. It is just a little firmer. Overall, I like it. The only thing is the front gap, I wish it would be 3/4 inches lower.

That is not the same grille as kwong. The Ebay grille's star is set a little lower. I'd rather have Evosport or ez-tuning.com grilles if you want a big star. The latter is better, the middle star is 3D with air vents in the spaces, unlike the Evosport's graphic star. The only problem is I don't know where to get it cuz ez-tuning.com is a taiwanese site.

so the cupkit doesn't really lower it by a lot. I guess I'll need to save for coilover than.

I got the Grill from evosport. Enrique set up a group buy, but no one was in it beside me. Anyway, I still got it for Gorup buy price. The ez-tuning grill is different, even though it has a big star, but it misses the bottom piece, which makes it has a bigger gap in between the top edge of the hood and the grill. I think you can get that from ebay, about $300. I paid $525 for mine.
Yap, the CupKit did not lower the front that much, but the rear is very nice, the picture of my car is not that clear, I will get a close up and post it later.

It is a modified factory CL grill. I know it is expensive, but I think it is the nicest one.

the grill i would wanna get would be just like your grill but without the star... so just the lines going from side to side and made out of carbon fiber... that would be perfect.

Hey kwong, I agree. The Evosport grille is the nicest one out there. $525 is better than the $629 that's listed on the Evosport website. Who do I have to contact to get the Evosport grille at group buy price? Hook me up!

Daddymac,
I got it from Ben @ evosport, call him @ 888.520.9971 x 11 and he might be able to give you some kind of deal. One thing you need to know is the bottom piece needs to be painted.

Kwong, when you get a chance, can you take a close up pic of the front grille on your car. From the front end of the picture you posted, it looks like that the star is meshed, not graphic. Or is it graphic and i'm just halusinating that when the pic is enlarged, the pixels of the pic in center of the star makes it look like it's meshed.

Sweet. So whenever you get a chance, please upload a close up pic for me (private message or to this thread) so I can show Ben @ Evosport and tell him that this is exactly something I want. Thanks pal.
