      you need to have that paint color sanded and buffed really good. can see a ton of orangepeel in it in the pics,
      but it still does look really nice and clean.

        Looks much better...

        As far as a splitter, I don't think they look right without being lowered.

          i just actually noticed that. do you have to sand it to get rid of it or can you just super buff it out.

              It's looking a lot better. It would look great if you would paint the lip red and the rockers black again. Goodjob.

                i think my car would look amazing with a red lip but i got so many rock chips in my old lip that was painted, i decided to go black with a billion layers of rustoleum paint. someday either the rockers will be black or ill repaint the lip red, i cant find a color that matches the car, because in direct light the red turns orange but with my red paint the red either turns purple or pink in direct light.

                  I would paint the rockers black because it should be a breeze since the rock guard will hide any imperfections. I haven't done this myself, but friends of mine have used barbeque paint and brushed it on, and it looks great.
