hey can you post some pics close-up like you did before you got the fitment done. i want to see the difference from before and after with that one side that didn't fit too well. what did you end up doing to make it fit better?

btw, it looks really good.

Well, if you are getting your car painted silver, it's going to kinda look like this.....

Argh... I hate that color now... everyone and their mother has it, which is why my car is getting prepped right now for a color change (again

Come on...Tahitian is a cool color. Why would you want to change it? BTW, looks like your lip lines up cleanly...Haven't really seen that before, it actually looks nice. Also, I'd keep that lip black regardless of what color you do chose.

its simple, if you paint your side skirts then paint the lip. if you leave the skirts black leave the lip black.

Silver is so unoriginal. Leave it Tahitian Green Pearl, that's original.

Lip looks good

What do you thing?

hahaha...... I "thing" that you should leave it black.... I usually think of this one rule... function over form... On most of the race cars out there , all of the things that they do that serve a functional purpose, automaticallly look good.
