digging it, did you scrape the black trim off or just paint over?

looks better than that random gold spray. the lip looks nice too, but i vote you put the vents back on.

color doesn't match, neither does the shine. i'll give you a B for effort though. would've been an A but the bungees holding the lip on is lame.

i just noticed the shine match since you mention it. Thats what makes me want to get mine professionally painted because the rest of your car that is white with clear coat looks nicer/shinier. Still a good rattle job but your fenders look much better imo. (and should attach lip and vents)

Edit: what made you decide to paint it? It looks good in your sig you could have just painted the lip.

ok well the one in my sig i sold that bumper, got the piggy bumper then traded not to long ago for the chuki, but i know it doesnt match thats why im doing my whole car like that, today im doing the hood and head lights, if i have enough cans fenders too,

but i have zipties holding it up because i believe if i dont have bumper extensions then it wont be tighten enough to hold up on its on, and i dont want it to sag,

Those zipties look halfassed.... idk what it is with kids with 240s thinking everything can be fixed with zipties.
