A new EX lip is cheaper than those hood pins.

Here is the car in full show-off trim. With all the work being done to it right now, I'm rocking the winter wheels and whatnots to facilitate stuff.



I used to have a spoon style lip, but it's cracked to many times and I just got tired of repairing it. In an effort to have something more functional and original I decided to create my own lip. It's also easier to repair if it cracks.

For now yes...the bottlecaps are my beater set and the lug nuts lock in fine. I also running extended studs up front and I don't have any other open ended lugnuts to use.

Which I found out is extremely tough to do. It'll take more fiberglass projects for me to get that aspect perfect...but I don't think that will happen.

I wanted a lip that really works and with an addition of a splitter it will be an effective means of getting downforce at the track.
