[papahh_bil]

IMO, that's the best rear kit available right now for the lancer.. Accolade's comes in a real close 2nd.  That's why I got mine as well!  hopefully will get it this week from the paint shop..

great choice bro!  looks sick!

I just received my ARS Bodykits HL Rear Lip (RUS6161) today.  This will be the thread I use to keep you guys updated.

- Ordered the part on March 14th 2009
- Send payment for shipping on April 1st 2009
- Received the part on April 14th 2009

As you can see the turn around time is an estimate of 1 month so please be patience if you order from ARS Bodykits.

The HL Rear Lip is shipped in two pieces.
It has a male and a female end where you can put the two pieces together.
It even came with stickers! 


This picture shows I am putting it together




Yay!  It fits perfectly.  The cutting is great!


Combined piece - BACK


Combined piece - FRONT


Due to my work schedule, the body shop and I agreed that we'll be painting it in two pieces.  The seam you see right now is because the rear lip/diffuser are just bolt on.  It is held by the bolts from my Rally Armor Mud Flaps.  The paint is fresh, it just got painted yesterday therefore the body shop said it would be better to wait it dry for couple of days before putting glue on there.  He want to make sure when he pushes it, it will not leave any fingerprint on the paint.

I'll be bringing it back on Saturday for the final installation.  The rear lip/diffuser is currently off.  These pictures are just a simple test fit.








Installation is completed.  My thoughts on it is that it made the car more complete.  I do have a regret that I should have the body shop to do it in one piece instead of two pieces.  The body shop technician recommended to do it in two pieces.
During the installation, we originally thought we could have it to hold up using double-sided 3M tape but failed.  We ended up drilling 4 holes on the bottom of the bumper. to make sure it stays still.  The two sides are tighten by the same screws for the mud flaps.







Gap Fixed!   

Looks great. Where di you get your mud flaps?

Are they the Urethane or Basic ones ?

These are the urethane ones. You can tell by the color logo on them.

[kraaZe]

Would you happen to know the differences of the Urethane and the Basic by any chance?

Would you happen to know the differences of the Urethane and the Basic by any chance?

Basic

Originally created as generic auto parts/ low cost alternative for owners, we sought to deliver an R/A version that would fall into a similar price category, with a higher quality. Functioning as the thinner gauged, cost competitive alternative to our other products, the Basic flaps sport an aggressive UV treated black plastic auto trim grain finish helping mask everyday abrasions. For owners interested in light, cost efficient mud flap protection, our "basic" application is a practical, affordable choice that is also great for seasonal or temporary use.

UR

For lowered vehicles, harsher conditions, and for extreme wintry environments, our UR mud flaps are the premium choice for both the daily street driven and competition vehicle. It's durable urethane construction remains flexible in a variety of temperatures, providing flexibility without extreme curling/cracking as seen in other standard plastic or vinyl based flaps which certainly do not perform in the same manner. The UR's stay rigid during driving conditions, yet flex when needed to conform to any environment.With the launch of our UR series, the main goal of providing a premium, flexible, urethane application that protects and looks great at fraction of the cost of any true bolt on urethane solution is achieved. Flexible (not "floppy"), superb strength, long term durability and protection are the characteristics the UR series provides for your vehicle. The gloss finish is a characteristic of this application when new, and will matte down after use.

just installed mine

The rear lip looks sick! I can't wait until I receive mine.

I actually prefer the look of Accoldes rear lip, but due to some recent reviews I've read and their payment methods, I decided on the next best thing. However the more I look at it, the more its growing on me.

[kazax01]

looks real nice! Can't wait until I receive mine, it's been a while after ARS mailed me

[kevz]

did you have any fitment issue? did you or the bodyshop have to do any modification to the lip for it to fit? or just paint and and bolt?

[kraaZe]

Anyone know if 8709catherine's tires are the stock ?
