Here's a follow up from this thread:

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:

hey got mine installed without the side gaps... what do u think i should do about the side gaps?.. i see u filled ur gaps??? wouldn't it look weird when u see it closee....??.... and by the way... keep it black.. makes it look JDM...LOL//

[pinoyesv6]

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.

[VegasMatt]

leave it black...like my coffee.

keep it black. it will match the headlights and wheels,,,,and if u ever get a cf hood it will match that too

[bglocc]

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...

Yea if I had the slightest of idea how to do it...a tutorial would be to awesome wanderingpinoy...

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.

[neel9]

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
