Default could this fit?

I was wondering if the TTE lip would fit on the RMM front bumper? probably with some customization it could., Just how much would be needed? Does anyone have this? or would this be just stupid?

I though about this since I have a explosion and tte lip sitting around.
It should work with shaving the tte lip to fit. Only if the RMM is the same size as oem (width).

The lower portion of the RMM and Explosion bumpers juts much more forward
than the stock bumper (and hence the TTE lip). It also has a lot more arch
as you look at it from above.

Can it be done? Anything can be done with enough time and money.

Would it look incongruous? Probably.

I already have to exit driveways sideways to keep from smacking my
Explosion bumper... I can't imaging having it sit lower or further forward!

This is what it looks like leaving my office driveway (at an angle, no less):


The carbon fiber treatment is different now...

Has anybody ever molded on the Greddy lip?

I've seen pictures of GS's with aftermarket bumper already and then a front lip added. Usually they looked good but only if they looked clean. I'm guessing the TTE lip would work with the RMM but I think the RMM is already nice enough.

don't do it.
i think it would be too much.
cos the rmm bumper is "full" on its own.
BTW, i need a tte lip badly. so if any of u guys want to sell, let me know...
