The Lip is made for the X. (X bumper = Journey bumper.) No modding required for ours.

Mish,

If you were slightly closer and willing, I would pay for you to do this. I've had this lip sitting in my house for over a year now. I want to try and do it but the fear of screwing up the cutting into the bumper part stops me in my tracks.

what?!?! Over a year??? A dremel can easily do a nice straight cut or one of the new oscillating multitools. As long as it's straight and thin, nobody will probably even notice it (should you remove the journey lip).

Alternatively, sell the journey lip and get the access evolution lip that Autokits X is going to replicate--that looks pretty sweet! In my opinion, no lip is perfect, including the journey on sport.

the AE lip does look nice and I will probably be getting one...

I only had to trim a sliver off the bumper but it is possible as some have said, that cutting is not needed.

Thanks for the response! I'll do my best not to cut the sports bumper! Maybe instead to some trimming to the lip! My only concern will be scrapping all over the place! Lol since its a lot lower! But I am gonna love the look that's for sure!

Im in Portland Vancouver area myself and Probably going to try to get this install down.. I got a Black 2007 G35S sedan and I bought it with 20's on it and this Low lip could help bring the front down low hah so if you want get in touch and you could see it after the lip install to help decide if you want it done.. thats IF you still interested
