Default Carbon Fiber OEM lip

Wanted a carbon lip but really didn't like how the aftermarket ones sat lower. I was able to remove the OEM lip and had it wrapped in carbon. Hopefully it looks good on the car but I won't be able to install it for another week and half as I will be out of town.

Looks good waiting for installation, I suspect it will as well on the vehicle. What color is your car?

Wow, that looks good.
Should definitely look good on the car.

Thanks..I have an Atomic Silver NX with the chrome around the grill Plasti dipped in gloss black. Hoping this ties in well with the lip.

Yes, I think that will match up very well and make the car stand out. Nice choice!

Took a bit as I had to wait on backordered PPF for lip. Have to take the under side panel off along with the fog lights. Once those are out, the lip is held by clips and 4 screws. 2 screws are located toward center and 1 screw one each side near fog lights. Will take some full pics later in the week.

Wrapped it? Wrapped it in carbon fiber then cleared?
Looks very good
