I can't remember, I saw the car on the "post your lip kit thread" and saved them to my HD, apparently its a NIA sponsored car since they also use the same care to show off the product on their site

Sorry about the garage door in the first one; we get an insane amount of june bugs this time of the year and I had to run out to get a decent picture but didn't want those suckers getting in. I'll have some real and better profile pictures up tonight. About the gap in the middle; I was worried about it during the mock fit before it was painted but now that its on and painted I don't mind it at all. There is no way of getting rid of it unless I add about 3 or more mounting points in that area. Even then it would give the lip an awkward wavy look. Because of its flat splitter design its supposed to be like that anyways. The more and more I look at it the more and more it grows on me.

Its just the height of the lip, which I believe is around 1.25"

Thanx mang and I don't blame you, in some angles it just doesn't look right. But like I said before, in person the more I look at it the more I like it.

i cant really get past the fact that it resembles a fiberglass version of the home depot lip...

other than that, what percent tint do you have on your driver & passenger side windows?

Well thanks for looking, but I honestly wasn't expecting everyone to like it. Its all cake though, I like it and I love how the car stands now and am finally "done" with it. Adding a front lip was really the last thing I wanted to do for the car.

I think its something like 30% in the fronts and 20% in the back? I honestly can't remember, the tint was the first thing I had done in the car over two years ago. You can't let those haters catch you riding with fish!
