Just finished a while ago. Wasn't too hard, but I'll be redoing soon probably because I messed up some parts of the tape and you can see it from the side of the car. No biggie, though. I don't feel the need to get a front lip anymore either :chuckle:

It looks good, I was thinking about doing this! Can you take some head on pictures or straight ones from the side?

Because all the manufactured lips for 08-09 are bulky, cumbersome, and ruin every single line on the car.

The front, and the whole body, is very tight and smooth. Lips that, inevitably, poke out on either side of the fascia ruin the smooth look.

I would have to disagree with that but it is a matter of preference
