that kinda defeats the purpose of actually having a lip.

It looks weird. Too big to be a lip imo...

It at least needs a centerpiece. Maybe it might look a bit decent.

i like it. i would say cut out the center piece of your bumper and continue the lip across but your car is in too good of condition to cut up and also maybe some more aggressive side skirts to pull it off.

looks better in person lol

okay as far as the center piece, i was thinking one of two, have the piece lined up with the bumper, or having a flat pannel on the bottom lined up with the 2 pieces?

if you do anything to it, just make it go all the way across. really though, its kind of a ghetto solution and anybody who sees it will know what it is

just so you know i wasnt insulting you. i was just being dumb.

And its a good idea and definately will set you apart from people. But when you do something like this really plan it out and get a good solid idea measurements and possibly a mock-up and drawing or something. It will definately help. It will take more time , but you wont be going back over your work as much. Good luck

dont take it personally. this is an internet forum where users can and will share their feelings and be brutally honest. if you were looking for nothing but praise on it, honestly find some of your friends that think exactly like you and have them tell you they like it.

if you want honesty and constructive criticism, you came to the right place so dont get butthurt when someone tells you that it looks bad or compares it to a fat cat with a mustache.

really, if you have a kouki, its harder to get away with ghetto fabbed stuff like this where if you had a broke pos s13 in flat black nobody would really care. your car is nice stock, if you cant afford to put tasteful stuff on it, just leave it how it looked when it came from the factory.

thats my 2 cents.

honestly .. if you reallie like it.. (which i assume you do bc you made it) then why should it really matter what anyone else thinks. it's no one else's car but yours.

IMO .. the OEM lip fits the loook perfectly.. but if you want something different.. you're the artist and this is your canvas. do what you want to appease yourself and not others. it's not a beauty contest.

and anyway.. i would never intentionally bash another Kouki owner so dont take it personally. figure at least this is not "in-your-face" comments when you're in a parking lot somewhere. use it as a filtering system.. you get comments like that here online.. think about what ppl would say to you on the road.

my 2c .. you can take it or leave it .

good luck on your aero
