I think I only have two on each side. It actually doesn't look bad in person but I know it needs to go up a tad bit. As for the wheels lol...I'm looking to do a 4-5 inch deep lip in rear, also I plan on blacking my roof out & adding a carbon fiber roof wing. Black housing projectors will be a part of the difference between our cars as well. I was thinking about going mesh style wheels but the wheels I have currently look good & can be taken apart to upgrade to 18 inches which is cheaper

Hey CalitriSC I actually just went outside to take a look at it & it's not the lip. It's actually mounted correct & flush. It's the wheels being that they are 17's (small with chunky tires) it gives it that illusion that we were seeing lol. I need to upgrade my wheels to 18's plus use 35 profiles & lower the rear an inch lol

Yea my Equip lips are 4" front and 5" rear. Maybe it was just that pic. My lip lines up perfect with the side skirts.

Well take a side shot on level ground. It shouldn't have anything to do with the wheel/tire set up.

My suspension set up is at an angle not the ground. Car is lower in the front than the rear. I hace it like this to compensate larger wheels. It's lined up properly but these lips even on the site arw angled a little for some reason plus cover the fogs a bit. I'll take more pics as progress is made

Thanks man & it actually holds up well. I used Duplicolor but I'm going to be parting out my entire interior to switch to OEM grey or black. Thinking about doing two tone interior theme.
