it wouldnt be worth it and i dont think even possible to modify the lip. the front ends are distinctly different. you would be better off selling the GC8 lip and buying one that has proper fitment for your car.

Just wanted to confirm that you're actually saying that the GC8s can use the GDB front lips?

Is this true?
