... I still don't really get how to fiberglass. I want to do that too as there isn't really a lip or bumper I'd want to buy/pay for. lol

Not bad. Much better than the Greddy lip.

You should go ahead and shave the sidemarkers too.

Because there are so many people in here with crystal clear pics that make the iPhone pictures look like crap, so for those camera critics who would say "take better pics"This is all I've got...

Either way, the work so far looks good.
I agree with D on this one. Kudos to the custom work though in getting a front lip. Please do update us when all is done.
