Default Front lip is on the whip...

Before & after pix...

Couple things tho:
1) Does anybody know if BLACK chrome door handle OVERLAYS exist? Or just leave it w/o?
2) How do I get rid of this weird nasty annoying oxidation crap that's build up on just my rear driver rim? Not sure if its from me using Armor All Wheel Protectant?

Thx for checking out and gl with your builds

Nice pics.. U could have painted it black also to tie into your theme but white looks great... I'm liking these rep TTE lips.. One of the best lips around IMO

Yikes our cars look so identical lol.

Its FACTORY bumper and he painted the center insert black. Just like me. Love your ride bro!

I like the front lower grill black. Maybe you shouldve painted the lip partial black? Ive been thinking if i should do that to go with the black/white theme. A member on here has his TTE lip partially black down the top/center portion and looks great.

Damn, the black roof with the tints on the white looks sick! I want to do this but I'm afraid of the jakes sweating me for the tints. It only looks good with all the windows the same color rather than the suv look.
