    please feel free to elaborate...

    you would do things differently on the procedure u used to extended the lip? The material you used? The Material of the lip you bought?

    Well, instead of just using the metal mesh, then fiberglassing over that, I would use some kind of metal rods or something to make a stiffer skeleton/frame. It was pretty hard to get the shape right with just the metal mesh so the extra skeleton would have made things much easier.

    mah bad dude, lol... I was checking out your lip and then I saw the white dress and all...hehehhe

    btw, why don't you take your lip to a body shop? it might be cheaper to get an extension, fix the crack and paint than getting a new one. depends if you know a cheap body shop..

    yea off course but as it is black.. no one will really know is there is a full lip or not.. u know what i mean until and unless some one really comes close and looks at it.. so.. black color is awsome but might get extension later after some one does a DIY for me..lol..

    Thats ghetto if you dont make the extension, You could spot it from a mile away. Just suck it up and go learn to fiberglass, its not hard at all! You will never get anywhere on your car if you never learn to do anything by yourself!
