I think it flows just fine. It's always gonna look like a separate piece unless it's molded into the bumper.

The body line on the front side of the bumper isn't very defined. I noticed it didn't flow well with the design of the lip also when i mocked up one side to check fitment, but honestly, you won't even be able to notice. In boost lee's pic the light is hitting just right to create a reflection to really define that body line.

Anyways, it's going to look badass and i wouldn't have chosen ANY other front lip. Anxiously awaiting for tomorrow to come.

Hmm. Looking forward to seeing both painted and unpainted. Also hope someone will post pics with the center section removed -- I htink it might look good with just the two side pieces.

Here's a photoshop I did with the lip sides painted and the center fangs painted black. It was a quick chop to give everyone an idea.

If you a chance, would you mind doing one with the center section removed?

Personally guys if I end up getting the lip I'm just going to keep it flat black or cf whichever I decide. I think red car with black lip would look pretty nice.

Keep in mind, the lip started to sag in those pics. Tape started to give way...it was just a 5 min mock up to get pics for those wondering what it looks like

So when installed correctly it sits just a tad higher on the line of the bumper

I will take pictures without center peice in tomorrow when i do the install. Im not sure it will look that great. It's not going to look complete with the center section not installed. It will look exactly like what it is... something missing.

Damn that unparallel line is driving me nuts especially painted (photoshop) cause you know its there but its like you're trying to hide it.

Ill have to see other angles.

I don't see it being that big of a deal. Looked clean when I held it up .. But I do see where you are coming from. Maybe if it was made to ride that line up it would be better but I am a fan as is.

I think boost wants to do whole lip blue and the fangs black. That's my plan but it looks good all black in the middle as well.

Your making it drive you nuts. If you follow the line on the lip it gets smaller from the front to the back, to me that makes it balance out.
