Did a bit more work on the lip - Some updated pics:
I plan to fill in the side gap with some fiberglass.
I've been thinking - should I keep it black or colormatch it to my bumper?
Here's a quick PS of what the final product should look like:

i say keep it black. if you had the CTR aka the CSI lip, i'd color match it. but since it looks like u have a mugren replica, which is a lil bit more agressive than the CTR lip, the black would look good.

leave it black...like my coffee.

paint it silver 8)
keep it black. it will match the headlights and wheels,,,,and if u ever get a cf hood it will match that too
I say keep it black, black and silver combo. Can you take a shot from the front to see how it looks.

Hey Wanderingpinoy you down to make a lip like that for me? If I knew the first thing about custom fabricating something like this I would go outside and start right now. Of course I would compensate you generously for your efforts....let me know...

Don't worry, I'll take plenty of pics. Heck if it turns out okay, I might make a mold of the whole lip.

I'm sure a shop would be able to do it - most kits aren't really "direct fit" anyway.
hey wanderpiny.. but see i wanna learn so.. wanna do it myself so i am asking for help.. i know shops do it.lol.. i would not have asked otherwise..lol

i think the easiest way would be do put something behind the empty part....like a flat piece of plastic and tape it to each side at the back....kinda making like something to hold the 2 pieces together.........when u got that flat piece attatched to both lip pieces,,,u will have to lay fiberglass on that piece,,therefore bringing both pieces of the lip together as one.....keep laying fiberglass until u made it strong anough and reached a good point,,,,then u have to send it down and blend it in
