LF: Opinions on custom lip ..

Hey guys, since I would like to do something different, I'm starting out on a custom lip for 'balt as warmer weather approaches. I just sort of 'test-fitted' it to see how it'd look. The second picture is photoshopped (really badly) to make it look how it'd look once it's on.

The first picture is it just sitting under my current HD lip. I'm not too sure of it yet. The lip does have a groove in the middle, its not just a straight line with no curves. Lemme' know your opinions because I do have another style of lip in mind if this one doesn't get a whole lot of support.

And if there is someone else out there(most obviously there is) who is better then me at photoshop, if you can change the colour of it to white? I would like to see if I should paint it white or keep it black (paint it same black as my grills)

i like it, but i think it would look better if it was more flush with the bumper where it connects, so it basically looked like an extension of the front bumper instead of an addon. hope that makes sense.

yes, I will paint it white, this was only a test fit in the picture to see how much work I'd have to do to make it fit.

The lip is not bolted onto the bumper. In the first pic you can see it just sitting ontop of my wax container. I will line it up right when I actually bolt it on after I modify it to fit my car.

Lol, like SS/SCKing said the 2nd pic is only a photoshop to give an idea of how it'd look when I do end up bolting it on.

I'm looking for someone with mad photoshop skills to colour it white for me please.

with those 2 vents on the extension you should make ducts to direct the air to the front brakes to cool them off and that would be bad ass.

also try to get it to be more flush. like if u were to use fiberglass and make it look smooth
