Posting some close up photos and some words on how to install as I had a hard time finding both.

Ordered the V2 front lip from Maxton UK in gloss black and it arrived in a week along with a nice hoodie! Beautiful quality and the fit is spot on.

To install the lip, I removed the bumper and I think that is the best way to go about it as it comes with bolts and locking nuts so you need to be able to access the inside of the bumper cover.

Used some c clamps to hold it where I wanted it while drilling the bolt holes. Pop clips also lined up nicely and now go through the lip, bumper and under tray.

The side skirts I bought in the classifieds from @Metalmania82 and they complete the look. They install with self tapping screws. I used 10mm 3M double sided tape (not included) on the inner edge of the skirt, lined it up and stuck it where I wanted it. Jacked up the front of the car high enough to get my drill under and ran in the 10 screws per side.

I love how it turned out as it completes the glossy black look on the bottom of the car from the rear diffuser through to the front bumper now.

I also had the Kia front splash guards on my car that need to be removed to install the side skirts. They don’t do a lot anyway and I much prefer this look. I left the rears on as they seem more functional.
 
I'm planning on installing mine tomorrow. I want the side skirts as well, maybe by summers end.

I got the rear diffuser and winglets, which is why I really want the side skirts. So if yours disappear one night it wasn't me. :whistle:

Those look great. I was thinking of going with these in the CF look.

Nice! I’ve never seen their carbon look up close but I can definitely vouch for the gloss black. It’s a beautiful finish.

Never pulled the bumper off mine, any tips?

As long as you follow the instructions and have all the fasteners out it’s dead simple. I’ve done it twice now and it takes 20 minutes tops.

When it pulls free be careful with the wiring harness on the drives side as there isn’t a lot of slack. The harness has a handle release that you flip back towards the outside of the car. Took me a couple minutes to figure it out the first time but once you get it it’s easy.

When you reinstall it don’t force anything. Make sure all the clips are lined up and the bottom isn’t binding on the under tray.

Nice! I'm loving mine. Got all the kits except the spoiler. I installed mine on a ramp and used some clamps.
 
Is your Maxton logo centered on the lip? Mine's off by about an inch, looks completely retarded.

I absolutely need the side skirts.

LOL really? Yeah mine is dead center. It’s just a sticker so you can remove it entirely or remove and try to place it again.

And yeah, the side skirts complete the look.

I posted pics in the what did you do thread. I'm waiting on the rear valance and winglets until my exhaust tips arrive, do it all at once.

Looks really good! Your car is nice and clean too!
 
It doesnt look like they offer anything for the stinger. Which front lip did you buy? I dont like the ones with the side “with wings” but cant hardly find the kind like yours anywhere.
