Haha...hey now your hurting my feelings J/K....Haha. But for real though, the reason for the tiny gap between the front lip and the front bumper is because our front bumpers taper down towards the ends right past the fog lights. Because that part of the bumper is not straight like the very front of the bumper, it causes there to be that slight gap.

Believe me I tried to get the lip as close up and flush with the rest of the front bumper as possible and this is what I got. Overall I'm pleased with it, and although its not as perfect as the red SC in this thread it not too bad a job. As a matter of fact it was that very red SC that made me want to do this mod.

Also I would have much rather got the Big Win front lip but it's too hard to come by and it's wayyy too expensive for just the lip alone to justify it. I only spent MAYBE 200 bucks total for my lip and that's including painting it DWP.

Oh and thanks for the compliment on my wheels Yes they are 20's

Yea I have read his thread a bunch of time but I still cant fathom how it would work out so I would rather spend my money on a BW lip then try and fail at making something similar to that

cant remember who did this, but you can try and mold it to the bumper. It doesnt look bad, but my only concern is if you were to hit somthing you would see the crack were it was molded. hope the owner doesnt mind me using his pictures

That looks awesome, but I totally agree on it being cracked when hit. I don't think it's worth the trouble unless they do a really good job molding.
