I'm not sure about that. Because the true Ralliart lip dose not stick out that much. If you look at the one on eBay it sticks out too much on the side fins and looks like ****.

I'm going to keep the fins as is. It's clean and simple and alot better looking than anything that's out there now.

If this is being done the way I would. Then you will probably see a 1/4" gain from body filler and glaze.

At the end even with body filler it's going to look way better than the eBay one. And I will keep up the good work man thanks.

Comparing that image to my mates genuine RA lip on his X, the sides look pretty much spot on.

Thanks I tried to get it as close as I could. I have tons of pictures I look at in the process of shaping it. Starting to put body filler on the foam now

I just meant forward, not outward. The wide shovel nose look is definitely awful, as we've all seen. I wasn't thinking about it much before, but like was mentioned before, I think youre right that with the body filler and extra layers that will be added on before the final outcome is completed, it'll probably add a little bit to it and come out spot-on.

yeah that's what I meant too

but I think it's mainly the only close shots. It's like looking at a turbo pictures and not realizing how f-ing big the inlet is until they put their phone in it (or how a dixie cup fits in the stock Ralliart turbo)
