that is a carbon fiber top fuel lip!! i'm not about to paint it... lol... i got hit by a 00(style) gmc sierra on the highway. he was goin about 90 - 100 and switched lanes too fast and clipped my front (side sorta).. sent me into a 540 and then i hit a bmw 540 on his driver side door and the door behind that one.. caused him 5400 in damage that he was able to claim as uninsured motorist so i only had to pay 250 for his deductable. and the guy that hit me ran.. and since i had the bmw as a witness i was able to claim uninsured motorist and only had to pay 250 for my deductable.. after all was said and done i got a check for $2800. got the front end from a local jdm supplier JHOT. and did the conversion myself. had it painted at a local shop called autosport. and got the vis carbon fiber hood from cali and lip from a friend.

I think it looks good now, it'll look great with the 5lug/ITR wheels also.

It's a win/win situation.
