Does it fit tightly without any re-enforcement?
Thanks.

Yes, it is a Strabentech front lip. It attaches to the bottom of the bumper using 3M tape, new longer screws that replace the oem ones on the bottom side of the bumper, and 2 bolts that are placed on the bottom side of the bumper. You'll have to remove the bumper cover to install correctly; which is no big deal, takes about 10 minutes. You'll have to bore 2 holes for the bolts into the bottom of the bumper cover. They are located low enough that if you later decide to remove the lip, the holes wouldn't be noticable, or could be easily plugged.

um.... to pull pink wheels is very very difficult, especially on a silver mini
2nd of all, the tires are way too small, if it's not lowered it'd look quite awkward

A year and the half in the making!
After receiving a fabulous birthday present this year, I have put on my new rims for the summer...
Pi Rho finally looks like how I envisioned him before he was even built!
Very happy and can't wait for the first Autocross!

didn't weigh them, the ride is good, but you can tell they are 18's vs. the stock 16's it had
