I think if you have it painted to match the car then it will look better,

as for now though I'd give it one thumb up

Not sure what the point of that lip is. I always like to see DIY projects, but I don't think that this one is doing your car any favors.

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT! I ordered a gfx lip last night. I just never liked those big flares near the fenders. I might have those cut down and then painted black or wrapped in carbon fiber.

No it isnt garage door material....lmao, its just run of the mill black abs plastic. And my grill is painted but I'm sick of touching it up all the time, so it'll be wrapped too.

Everything is on order, everyone can rest easy now.

Good idea on getting the gfx front lip. It will do the IS wonders when it comes to appearance.

for taking the time and energy for the DIY lip
