lip looked good! I also agree why not just get the FPR lip if you would paint it ?

I agree with you chuck, the stock chin spoiler is out of place on aftermarket front lips!

Lots of cars have air dams that stick down below the line of the front bumper. Corvettes are a good example of this. Plus, the black spoiler acts as sort of a rub strip to protect the rest of the bumper. I'd rather have some cheap plastic part occasionally grind on a driveway that a painted fiberglass part.

Def the correct answer, my installer & I both agreed that the plastic front air dam would protect the lip from dips & speed bumps.
