Going in for plastic surgery.... I know, the guys who've seen me couldn't be happier but it's actually the car that's getting the surgery.

Lip surgery to be exact! After I found out that I couldn't get the TOTalon lip any longer I've picked this one up as the supplies appear to be drying up. I'll be looking to have it painted to match the car, with the underside to remain black (helps me feel slightly less worse when I touch the lip to the ground).

I even have an idea of what it will look like :: :sneaky: ::

NO!!! I like it the way it is.... But your car so enjoy and I hope it turns out nice.
 
My Fiance is going for Jaw surgery tuesday. Its going to be the quietest couple of weeks in my life!
 
Lip augmentation is for Hollywood! J/P.. is it going to be molded? What material is it FG, or ABS palstic?

ABS plastic, not going to be molded but don't think it needs to be ... in my mind it ties it in with the ground effects on the rest of the car meaning door caps / side skirts. See what I mean from the lip to door in the pictures attached.?.?

Ultimately, it was this DSMtuner's car (sorry, forgot which member) that made me decide to go with it:

I just don't like how that corner sticks out. That's usually what makes body kits look like crap IMO. It would look better like this...

It's cool, but it sits too low for the rest of the body.

Ditto, the way it sticks out reminds me of cheap ricer kits.
 
So I guess you guys don't like it. Fair enough...

I had thought of the RMDSM lip but I've had one in the past, on another GSX, and managed to rip clean off on a dip in one of the streets -- that thing was like a shovel it picked up everything until it broke.

Well, I'm gonna give it try .. might as well I already purchased it. But honestly, thanks for everyone's feedback.
 
Damn you Pete!! You never call a homie anymore. And also try trimming the bottom of the lip so its even all the way across. That might look better.:thumb:
 
I don't really like it. I have the Cupra lip (nice and stealth). I think the one you chose makes your car look like a catfish. I think it would be MUCH better molded, but still not my style. I will wait to see the finshied product before I pass harsh judgment, everything else on your car looks great!
