OEM Front lip on a Sport bumper - PS

I guess being one of many who are wondering what the OEM lip spoiler would look like on a Sport model I decided to give it a shot with PS (I don't think I've seen it before). Hopefully Stassi and Johnblaz2000 won't mind I used their bumper and car respectively for this little experiment.

Mind you I took the spoiler off of one car and slapped it onto another. The different picture sizes, cars, lighting conditions, etc. made the process a bit tricky but I think the end result is somewhat decent and the avg. Sport owner can get a rough idea of what he/she can expect from the lip.

I kind'a like it.

dammm that looks really good.... i am not a fan of having the front look lower than the rest of the car.. but since the sport has the side sills and rear mud flaps it evens it out... cant wait to be able to buy this painted from infiniti

The difference in lighting conditions and levels between the two pictures made it a real PITA and practically impossible to keep it two pieces. Granted, the production lip (whenever it comes out ) will be a separate piece, this PS still gives you a general idea of the overall "structure" and look of the front end.

Those lips don't really minimize your ground clearance. They simply protrude outwards (forward). It may be somewhat of a problem if you have a very steep driveway (you'd need to come in in an angle), but otherwise, you are not sitting lower upfront.

No, I know you weren't questioning my skills cause quite honestly, I don't really have any.

I was just saying how I wish I could demonstrate the way it would look in a two piece set up to realize it more, but unfortunately, I'm not that good with PS.

Great PSing Speeed and link. I think that lip would look great on the Sport, it definitely adds a more muscular look to the car.
I'm workin on the Brownie points so I can get one on the X .
