Maybe becuase you took out the center grill? I think it looks good, but better with the grill in place...

I decided yesterday to take my CF aero spoiler off as well ....... You need to have the center mesh in place, IMHO.
The car looks unfinished without it.

Without the center grill the radiator can get damaged by flying stone.

Yes, I realized that - just saying that I think it looks better with the grill than without - regardless of spoiler...

I honestly think it looks much better with the aero lip. Btw did you paint the lower side grills yourself?

I agree.

Donald-335i, see how it looks with the center mesh grill in place. I think you will like the look better with it in place.

The grille was robbing maximum airflow to the radiator.

Like others have said, I think the areo lip looks better than stock and that both look better with the lower center mesh in place.

After you have the aero lip on, the stock (non M Sport) front end looks so passive and non aggresive. Aero lip FTW.

Is your car lowered in the second pic? It looks lower in the first pic. The OEM aero lip looks really good and aggressive.
