Interior coming along...just waiting to buy BRIDE seats for the front, redo my back seat, grey seat belts, custom headliner, & brand new carpet

(Oh & the tints will be re-done in carbon film...I hate cheap tint that changes color

)

Today my RideSkinz Fujin VIP lip arrived. Did a test fit but I need to reshape the bottom because it sticks out on the bottom of the passenger side. I think the heat caused it. Other than that I'm pleased

Better pics from today with lip while the 3M is setting in the sun...the ATP Italian 2-piece 17's are actually pretty nice to me. I'm thinking about getting deeper barrels for the rear.

Nice progress. It looks like the sides of the lip are mounted really low. Is that how you wanted it?

Thanks & I noticed it too when I took the pics. It wouldn't really go up higher unless I placed screws in it. I may re-adjust it once I send my wheels off to get customized with a stepped lip 18' barrel. Then I'll stance it how I've always wanted it to fix any weird defects
