heh thanks, I like the effort of finding V2 wheels on a CR front and wing combo. Very nice! I'm in not in a huge rush to get V3/CR rims, but I would love to get them on as soon as my tires are worn out. This Wednesday or Thursday it'll be the day I put the new lip on. I'll also remove the front license plate as well.

Haha...the lip is on finally. It was a struggle, over a period of 3 days. I would have done it in one night, but I kept having to do other things than working on my car. It took a while to get the old lip off without damaging anything, as the 3M tape kept it stuck on. I used a heat gun to warm the area so the tape could peel off just fine.
Old lip off....time to put the CR lip in!
The garage was a mess while I tried to get everything done. It was tough. The holes were tough to judge, but it came out just fine, position-wise. The dremel tool sander I used made the holes nice and round. I drilled only 4 holes, I feel it should be enough. I can always add more later when I have to repaint the front bumper in the future.
Putting the bumper back on was hell. I had so much trouble getting the bumper hooked on those two hooks underneath the headlight, and I didn't know why. Then I looked underneath the bumper and found that the liner was getting in the way of the bumper being reattached to the car
Just minutes after installing, and it looks great! I haven't driven the car in days, so it was time to give it a test and some gas. I felt that there was definitely some downforce and drag from the front. I love the look now...its close to being the CR replica I want it to be!

I plan on fixing the front a little bit, but for the most part I'm really happy with the new look all-around the car. Thanks guys for the comments
