haha sorry! since it was an accord lip, i had to cut it into 2 peices and remove approx. 2 inches from the middle. i painted it and put it on, but sometime in the next few weeks i should be molding it and re spraying over that part. its hideous so i didnt want to get so detailed. but heres what i got.

yeah definately never said these pics were good haha

it as my first time using this cam, and i set the exposure way high becasue i was worried about everything showing up at night, but i made the mistake of setting it too high, but i couldnt tell on the LCD. i didnt know until i got home. so im trying to get used to the cam, and as i do, the pics will get better.

i knew there was a reason haha.. still looks good, once it's finished it'll definitely look like a clean lip made for the car..
