I'd be very hesitant to mold a front lip, they scrape/break so easily.....

Looks good though.

i dont know what style it is, i got it from the same guy that was selling the front lip. neither fit real clean, thats why i ended up molding them.

The interior is kind of cheesey, but other than that, it looks good

it actualy looks pretty good, all the blue in the interior was primed, painted and cleared when i painted the body. its not a spray can job.
the floor mats a little ricey, but i work for a sheet metal shop and made them for free.
