Heh, thanks for all the compliments guys. The actual molding process was done at my friends house. He has a bunch of air sanders and stuff like that. It took me about 2-3days to finish it up(could of been done quicker but was screwing around most of that time 
). That was mostly just my own labor time. Afterwards, I took it to a body shop and had them do the finishing touches and paint it for $100. I supplied the paint so they were willing to work with me on the price. Everything came out looking pretty good. I still need to re-attach that chrome strip I peeled off. Honestly, I think this is how the car should of came from the factory...but then I'm sure careless drivers will be going in everyday to complain about how they just smashed/cracked their bumper into curb while parking.
As for the lights, yes the headlights are all custom lol. The inners have halo's. The lights on the clear sidemarkers and rear of the car are the 5LED 194 bulbs commonly found on ebay. The taillights came as a 4 piece set with the inners and outers.

Ok, this is pretty gay lol. I just scraped the bottom of the lip going down a shallow driveway today. I went very slow and at an angle and it still scraped lol. I even had eveyone get out of the car . How do you guys with these low lip kits get around town? Or do you just repaint the lip/bumper every few months?
As for getting over that curb in the pictures. There was one of those handicap ramp things on the side and I slowly backed the car up that. Not sure how I didn't scrape the lip doing that...lol.
