Ok, me and Josh (Irish) got it installed. Well, since Josh knew what he was doing, he did most of the work.
The fitment is a little different on the 02/03 bumper because of the larger fog lights. the lower part of the bumper drops down below the fog lights. we were still able to get it to work.
it looks beautiful!!

Did you have to bake your side-markers to get them open?

+1.

The lip looks good, but kind of disappointed because of the fog area. Still trying to get one soon. There was a GB on the Vboard (Spec-V forum) for 55 shipped, but that fell through.

just wanted to show everyone what the clearance is (with H&R springs).

there is still plenty of room...its only a problem with high curbs (like the ones at my house)



the LTB still hangs lower

you mean in the center under the emblem?
thats where there was a license plate when i bought the car. i have OK plates and dont have the have one so i removed the mounting stuff.
the person that put it on obviously didnt do a very good job so there are big dents instead of clean holes.

if you look in the first pic, you can see that there are two holes, and two dents. i assume the dents are because the screws were tightened too much.

"Everybodys doing it!" haha.
Great creative work. I think it looks great how the front is slightly receeded.
Rather than all these close ups, i think as a whole from farther back it really adds to the car.

Hey Irish/sooner, did you have to do anything to fit the lip around the bump for the foglights?

on the 00-01 its not an issue since we don't have that bump

on Jason's car if you look REEEAAAALLL close you can see there's a bit of a gap on the inside of the fog lights, but you can only see it if you're about 6" off the ground. The lip has enough flexibility to it that it more or less molded around the bump with only the small gap.

you can see the small gap here and where it is lower on the corners because of the bump
