Bomex front lip on Z1 shop car.

Thanks for posting the pics. I don't think that looks as good as the photoshop drawing.

looks terrible. the front end of the bumper is mostly curves and adding a lip that is done mostly in angles doesn't flow well at all and really looks tacked on.

So smooth out the center, lose the gap in the very center between the lip and the bumper, lose the area right near the opening where it juts in and just make it one smooth flowing piece across there, smooth the radius's to match the contour of the front bumper and you have a winner in my book!

I think I said smooth 100 times!

Not sure if this is going to the final version.

Another tally for the "I don't think that looks as good as the photoshop drawing" camp.

It looks...okay.

Good job on the photos! I really like the three shown together...very nice.

i think im starting to like the lip.... lol i really think its cuz they didnt paint the fangs black... ummm how much is this lip going for anyways...

JoeD · 10-12-2009, 02:43 PM

LOL...now that I look at the two pics in detail, the final version looks no different than the rendering at all. This stresses the importance of multiple, real-world photos at different angles before final judgement, although I'm sure the paint-scheme on Bomex's car helps.

Not really...its different enough for all us to puke at.

The sides curve in alot sooner than in the illustration, and that early curve gives the sides that bulbus type of look to it. Also, the center piece didnt look as tacked on as it does now. I dont know, it just looks kind-of big, and needs to be more low profile to look as smooth as it did with the factory sides. I feel this lip would need some sort of sides and rear spats to complete it more...

I rather have something like this...

If someone could develope their interpretation of this little lip kit all around for our cars and make it looks clean and functional, I would buy it.

Who knows, hopefully Bomex decides to flatten out the side and make it look less chunky.

I thought it looked pretty good when I saw it in person.
