Front bumper finally done

heres a few pictures, the front lip is very low (about 3.5"), the last picture of the side vent, thats the texture of the floor reflecting up on the car.

Very sharp! Now you just need a silver Porsche crest to complete the look.

Do you have any shots of the entire car? I would love to see them if you do.

The silver crest will probably be next

I will drive around with the lip on, or at least untill it breaks . it was kind a tight comming up my drive way.. the lip is fiberglass not CF, CF would be cool but i dont think the lip will last very long

Sweet, you would be one of the few that drive with the front lip on...I think the front end looks that much better with it on...without the front lip the lines dont seem to flow well to me.

it's all fiberglass, I did help my buddy (the mechanic) with the install so I got a break on the install price but with painting and purchase i spent $2700 (USD)

That looks really nice, but I don't think I could even get into my driveway with that lip. I would love to see a pic of the entire car with the new front bumper.
Car is beatiful.
