Thumbs up G35 D-spec Front lip

This is a d-spec lip I justt got for my car.

I had the bumper recently repainted by ppgfreak and he did a great job. It was really bad before and he saved it. The paint match isn't exact because I handed him a bumper and told him to paint it wv2 and come to find out my car is darker... The paint he did matches my friends wv2 g35 so I know its not his fault. He is def a good guy to deal with and we are talking about either repainting the whole car or just doing the bumper/lip/fenders blended to match.
Heres the lip lmk what you think.
The lip just came in a few hours ago, my other friend put it on and didnt mount the holes perfectly so thats the only reason there is gap of about 1/8th inch on the back on both sides. It is unpainted poly and will be either black or painted the same as the car... I kinda like it in black.

nope... i have lowering springs on tokico d-specs. It used to be slammed. I would like to lower the back more but I have to drive over this nasty speed table to leave my house and it will destroy my exhaust(it already hits)
i measured my rear next to ppgfreaks car and my rear is about 1/8th inch higher(looks high now because I have small tires on back). Ill be cutting the rears down about 1/2 inch after winter. YES I WILL CUT MY SPRINGS AND I LOVE IT> I did it b4 and it was great for 2YEARS! I used lowering springs to raise it for the winter.

I dont really like molded parts. I would also break it in 5 mins. Its easier this way and looks fine to me. I would go out of my driveway hit the speed table and it would all be over.

I replaced the stock lights with 55watt hid ballasts and bulbs. Lights are way brighter I have 8000k bulbs. I had a issue with stock ballasts (repaced many times and decided this was the way to go). It doesn't change the color at all. I have 3000k fog and high beams so my lighting is overkill.

Looks good man Yes moulding does look much better, but if you all ready scrape now then you dont want to spend the money because your just going to crack it.

Now hurry up and give me the car to paint a different color
