    What do you think of this front lip Im working on? Pics

    The cars about to get some paint and I have been toying around with a front lip idea, because I cant spray primer until some warmer weather comes this way. This lip here will be the mold for a fiberglass piece. What do you think of it? Its pretty hard to tell how low it is in the pics, but I assure you, its low.

    Doesnt look too bad, but that wont fit very well with your widebody. You need a whole removable front end...

        OK then. I think it needs to stick out more. More of a angle.

            Make 'em out of something slightly flexible - a fiberglass lip that big is gonna get the shit kicked out of it in a hurry.

              are you going to mold the finished one to the valance? looks good so far.
              reminds me of the one i had made.

                  Im not going to mold it to the bumper. I want it to be removeable. I like it because its simple and functional. Pretty race car ish.

                    Functional 'til something touches it at high speed.

                    Then it'll shatter. Very simply, I'm sure.

                        it looks good but it does need a little more angle to it

                          Thats why I am making a mold. So when I smash one up I will have a backup ready :)
                          I would say its about 4 inches off the ground. It looks to be about as low as my BMP.

                            I'm with jordan on this one. Looks ok now, but a wee bit of angle would help it.
