Thank you all for the kind responses.. i knew i'd get a mixed review for the headlights tho. I like them. I think it sets off the front end a little more. To me, it compliments the black pearl emblem and the lip. To each his own, right? ;-)

rx777: Not at all. I still see perfectly at night.

primecut: I had the headlight disassembled and sprayed from the inside.

Lexasaurus: thank you! coolest screen name ever.

ExclusivIS: Yea man, the lip is pretty low. Specially with the driveways to the plaza's around my town.. even with deep angling, taking up both lanes, and almost jumping off the curb, it scrapes. =/

s4play: I'll see if i can take better pics. They opened the headlight and sprayed all the chrome black. They popped off the reflectors and sprayed inside there too (lightly, so you can still see through them). If i were to do it over, I'd have them lightly spray the front signals instead of full spray. Maybe even not spray them at all.

vboy418: Thank you sir.

tmf2004: molding this lip kinda scares me.. the molded part would break and look funky if i scraped hard. Which i do. Thanks tho for the advice.

stonefan52: the shots were actually taken at royal muffler in Chatsworth, on Devonshire and east of Canoga.

juice14: The double sided tape didnt work for me. I used multiple kinds that body shops said were the strongest. The lip is just too stiff and wont flex at all. Water seeps through the crevices and un-sticks the tape.

Wisdom: thanks man

Damn man, but even though it's scraping on you nothing has cracked yet? Guess it's a pretty strong lip then.

scraping is FAR from cracking...... one can be scraping their fpr or cf bumpers/lips for years and it won't crack. cracking takes a sudden force of hitting or when the parts get stuck and the car keeps on moving

(now this is not to say this lip isn't strong though)

i've been scraping my front lips since 1997. long as it isn;t cheap fiberglass, it'll take scraping and bumps for yeeeeeaaaaars. i've broken one lip in my life, and it was in a situation even a stock car woulda been screwed
