its never "done" 
Current stuff should be complete sometime next week... I'm doing a few other "unique" things - clear corners will be dusted body color, I went by to check out a test spray on the broken lens, and it looks like it might work... I ordered an extra set of side-markers to be smoked though, just in case the body color thing doesn’t quite work (but I think it will), I'll have choices.
Also, I'm having some stuff under the hood painted and the shop is trying to create a black chrome color... I need to go back to look once they test spray - if its not right, I think I'm going to try titanium color and have the spray chrome effect...
They are also painting the radiator core support body color...
Plus of course the trunk and bumper.
So glad I busted up my bumper

Hey mike, remember I was talking about getting the spoiler molded into trunk with some carbon exposed? Here is a picture i came across in the OT kinda like what I'm talknig about....HAWT!!!!
the aston is probably not molded.......but its a good look with that contrast.

^^^ yep - there's a car @ AE right now (that we all know) that is having some CF stuff molded in to certain areas... I'll keep it at that since I don’t know if he wants it known or not.
The lip I'm doing is too small though - there wouldn’t really be enough to show any CF after the material to mold it in was applied.

Mike, if I'm understanding you right, you'd like for the lip to follow this line? (see pic and beautiful red arrow)?
If you move it back towards the rear bumper, so that the front edges meet the line, it will hang over the trunk too much..if you move it ahead of the line (towards the rear window) so the back line follows the line pointed out in the pick, I think it will just look off. Maybe if it was more squared at the ends you could move it out more but it rounds off on the edges when looking at it from the back. Hard to explain.
I forget who but the one integrated spoiler that was done on the DG in socal is hands down the best lip. Integrated all the way if you have the cash to spend. Love the CLS style lips/trunks
