Well i just got done working on the car for a weekend, when it decided to snow. The reason i put the lip on and did all the DIY's is because weather has been BEAUTIFUL in northern michigan, but then it decided to snow when i went back to grand rapids. i now plow any snow above 2 inches :D


Let me know what you think!

I painted the fog light covers body color, as well as the middle taillight. Had the lip painted gloss black, Cleared out the headlights (the orange went bye bye), and de badged it as well.

I also de-mud flapped it :sneaky:

Great looking car man. Some advice, lose the lip till spring. Its not worth getting it cracked or caught on a curb, ice...whatever. I took on my whole entire front bumper wiht RmLip for the winter and replaced it with an old talon bumper, and I still have only driven it like 4 times haha. Car looks great
 
That's pretty clean. I'm pending on doing this as well. Does it look good from a side view?
 
Great looking DSM........I am debating on buyin the RM lip or the believe the P2 lip. Looks great....I would take the advice and take it off till spring but hey, to each their own........right? Drive it like you stole it!!!!!
 
Looking good! Your car looks super low with the lip + snow. I agree with taking it off for the winter, unless you have something else to drive when it snows.
 
thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated!

I do not drive the car due to college, everythingi have/need is on campus. I recieved the car with 2 brand new fully custom car covers, one i sold, and 1 i keep. It stays locked up under the car cover while im at school, so i dont really drive it unless we get random beautiful sunny days!

Id like to get it back home to get some shots with my canon digital rebel, ill post them up here when i get my carbon fiber hood on!

as for the lip, i love it. im very pleased that i went with the rmdsm, but the p2 does look great as well!
 
I noticed your from Traverse City..........nice. Have you ever been up to St.Ignace car show in June? I met a guy up there last year that drove a Dodge Avenger with lambo doors and other things from Traverse. Its a blast up there. Thought I'd say hey.....I am right by you........might see you some time. ;)
 
yeah thats jeff! black avenger with lambo doors :D no i havent gone up there yet, hoping to this year. heres my old whip, along with some other traverse city ricers:

def take the lip off. i live in louisville,ky so we don't get much snow so i kept my new rmdsm lip on. it's funny that you did those little DIY's. i did the exact same ones at diff time periods minus the clearing ot the taillights. the lip :rocks: , however i think a couple of improvements could be made:
1) on each side if the actual lip didn't flare out so far and kinda met with the body on the sides
2) if there was an actual rear or sideskirt lip. reason being is the car has an excellent stance from the front and slight side front view but, looking from behind forward and the direct side view doesn't do a whole lot for me b/c the front is much lower then the body and ruins the nice downward sloping angle.
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST, JUST HAD ALOT OF OPINIONS! :thumb:
 
ya.........JEFF......with red hair, hahahahah. He was sooo funny. those cars look nice.......we have a couple cars round our little town. www. streetdreamscustoms.tk........check it out. We all go up to Ignace. You should go up there this year with Jeff and stay next to our camp site with Jeff. And you say you are in GR for the winter.....GVSU? My GF goes there.
