RA Replica Lip Installed!

Courtesy my man zerocool here ....part arrived on time as promised and was tightly bubble wrapped...the rest i thought ill explain with pics

very excited to see it in person




took it to the bodyshop only to be a little disppointed...it doesnt fit all that well on the bumper








the bodyshop came up with a solution to sorta blend the lip with the bumper filling / sanding the gaps...but at a price!






finally all done...primed and ready for paint








getting my car tommorrow so will post final pics then

Decent because I feel like if you spend 300-400 on a lip it should fit alot better than this one did.

gotta remember he didnt just put it on with screws looks like he molded it. a molded body kit / lip cost ALOT to get installed versus just getting the lip painted and installed with screws and double sided tape.

Better be extremely careful having that molded. All it will take is one time catching in on a driveway or good bump and it will be cracked where they have it molded up if they used bondo.

Edit: But looks good

Looks good. However IMHO CF looks the best on black. Should have just waited for that.
