I understand its not everyone's taste. They will do for now and later on I might go back to OEM.

Allright so here are the pics of the lip painted and on the car. Now mind you its not bolted to the car so its not as tight to the car as it would have been if I had actually riveted to the car but I just could not go with it because of where the bondo and the polyurethane meet. Its just not as smooth as I would like it so I might fix later or if someone wants it pm me about it. On to the pics....




Not too bad I would say.






Here are the imperfections....




So now it has been done. To me it was a success in the fact that now we all know it could be done but you need to take your time and see if it suits your style.

Your car is nice and clean already...the lip takes away, I'm sorry. It doesn't flow with the OEM bumper, it seems like it is more angular compared to the round features of the oem bumper. But hey, if you like it, rock it

Thanks for the constructive comment. I honestly appreciate it!!! You are correct.....I thought I would give it a try since I really want a front lip but I guess I'm just going to have to save the money to get the Big Win front lip that I really want one of these years. I think depending on the style you are going for your car it could work but your right my ride is all about being clean and OEM so it does take away from it. Oh and by the way your ride is absolutely beautiful

The lip isn't bad...but its definitely not my favorite either...but a very interesting idea regardless. Overall I really like what you've done with the car. Two thumbs up

Thanks for the compliment I try and keep her as clean as possible. As some people have already told me this particular lip just does not fit the style of my ride and thats cool with me. It was an idea that I wanted to see come to life and wanted everyone else to see to give others ideas in the future.
