Does the lip line up to the side sills or is it lower? It looks like it mostly sticks out forward so I think I'll keep the stock sides and save the $ for other mods

no i sanded and painted it with duplicolor engine paint. i like the way it looks, it goes with the black theme.
Also the black theme saves me money

As far as scraping goes on the front end.. even with my ride height being so high i still scrape when i back into my driveway and i have to take certain dips sideways, but i like it.

You should paint the sides the same as you did the lip so that they'll match. How about your headlights? You do those or get them off eBay?

So does that mean the front hangs lower than the sides or no?

Better learn to angle once you drop it. Not much clearance from the ground on the front lip lol. Keep up the good work!

I don't think it fits very well, teh bottom of the 03-04 bumper IIRC is really rounded, this lip looks really flat on the back. There is a small gap between teh lip andt he bumper that's visible.

Nontheless, It looks a ton better than stock, good job with the theme! I'd say leave it as is, don't paint it.

Looks great actually!

What paint did you use on the grille? Looks kinda..... meh.

Why don't you get it wrapped in carbon fiber? Maybe cost $100, it will make is strong as hell and look great! Don't need to worry about colormatching.

Good work being the guinea pig! Blkonblk, that's the one man. ORDER IT.

really? because you just showed me a picture from the seller? Look at the oroginal picture in the OP...parts of his original underbody black parts and showing above the lip......that is clearly not representing of the "fitment" you just showed me. Unless he didnt install it right, it looks nothing like the picture you showed.

the OP might of installed it himself, considering the lip was never painted?

I truly grew to hate the stillen on most cars. It works on black cars, but that's it. I think this looks much better.

Are you going to paint it or just wait and see how it look with your paint? Do what I said, CF wrap!!! Look sick on your car, then do some more CF accents, maybe mirrors and even the roof
