Dash Kit or Stillen Lip??

ok, Im deciding between getting a dash kit or the Lip. What would you get first? I know that I have to pay some more money to paint the lip but what did you get first? Lip or Kit?

Even though I sell the dash kits, I'd have to say get the lip first. It makes more of an impact on your car.

What do you care about more? Interior or Exterior? What people think when you're driving by, or what you see inside your car?
Dash kit's do wonders for the interior!

The front lip first because the look good, are seen more than your dash, adn add more to the look of your car than a dash kit.

Don't worry about it. You'll develop a quick and acute awareness of what you can and can't drive up on when entering a driveway. We all do the "drive in at an angle" routine! The times I do scrape the lip its not too bad as the lip is quite flexible. I have just the tape holding the front center down and a rivet on each of the wheel well mounts.

I think I'll go for the lip first.
I guess I can figure out some way but her drive way is verry very steep and narrow so going at an angle scrapes the corners of the bumper so I have to go straight up it which I only clear the ground by about a half inch going over it that way.

btw. The lip lowers it how many inches of clearence? is it 2 inches?

that all depends on how much you drive...
if you drive as much as Cheston...then get the front lip..u'll be spending more time looking at ur car from outside of your car..

if you drive as much as me...then get the dash kit..u'll be spending soo damn much time drivine, u'll forget what the exterior of your car look like..
