I think it looks good. However, IMO the factory aero front bumper looks better. I wish that bumper was still an option. This new adhesive with maybe two screws attached front lip looks too aftermarket.

My thoughts exactly; I am concerned about the stuck-on look.

On another note, the splash guards require drilling (2 holes for the back and 1 for the front).. but they are drilled on the underside.. the rest of the mounting screws use what is already there.. the install guide for the splash guards is pretty comprhensive with nice diagrams.. I would've tried that myself but to drill on the underside, I'd need to jack the car up pretty high with my $20 floor jack.. so I figure I'll just wait for lift time to do it all..
