just the front. I didnt want to do the sides because i have to drill into metal, aka rust in a month. I fixed the drivers side, now no gaps, and everything is flush.

It doesnt look bad, but you need to re mount your license plate. Why is it ghetto rigged to your fog light instead of in the factory location? I could understand if the factory mounting was smooth and covered up, but your paint is all destroyed where the plate should be.

it looks a lot nicer. im getting the whole car repainted in the summer. the lip is so sick, you guys should def do it. I secured it with heavy duty zipties using the holes for the JDM lip, and drilling my own in the plastic underguard. Cost $7 each. diamond-lok.

Not bad.

I guess you would have to check every once in awhile to make sure the zips are intact. I had a shield on a Jeep that I had "ghetto fixed" with zip ties, after a few weeks of highway driving I had to replace ties. There was some shearing going on with the zips.

Once the gaps are smoothed out, it should look half decent. I'm assuming that's plastic...you should try hitting it with a heat gun and slowly bending it to the shape it needs to be.Just a thought...

I can barely see the lip Nala...

But it still looks good. Did you get that idea from Project Car?

You get a 8.5/10

What he could do about the tag is put up a custom tag to cover it up (i.e. a generic Infiniti tag). As long as the 5-0 can see the front & rear tags on a car, I don't think they'll get upset about a custom one located somewhere else on the exterior.

...or just mount your license plate there. Two plates would look roughly as dumb as bad paint where the license plate goes and a license plate zip-tied right next to where it's supposed to be.
