Ok So. I will post the built-up of my EK.

Cons:
- Front Bumper jobber and not paint
- Trunk has been hit

haha... there was more. thought that is all you had done so far. The paint will def. make you stand out of the crowd. Good work so far though. I myself am gonna start restoring my car this winter then probably gonna swap the engine out next spring. Still not totally sure yet.

 

looks nice

probably should have taken the front and rear lips off before painting, so lets say you crack your lip, and the next one doesnt fit just exactly the same you wont have an unpainted piece of the bumper exposed.

i know, ive been though 7 front lips

I didn't think about that when we did it.

We wanted to make sure that we don't scratch the front/rear bumper while installing lip

 

Pretty damn nice, Why not the OEM lip?
