Hey guys im new to 6GC just wondering what u thought of this front rubber lip:

Only cost me $40 (Au) to do, as its made from a rubber strip thats used on 4wd guards.
Also i got my rear wing carbon fibre coated what do u think:

Pics of the car zoomed back are here: http://www.6gc.net/members/10409
Cheers for any comments or ideas wink.gif

Can we get different angles of the front lip? It looks fine, reminds of some OEM type lip.

Not a fan of the spoiler, personal choice. I would prefer it to be the same as the rest of the body.

front lip kinda fits your name, no offense intended, just looks like something straight off a go cart. like the wing, but only if other parts of the car are carbon fibre, like the hood maybe.

It makes the car look like a Bumper Car... laugh.gif I'd be cooler if you had it on the side skirts and rear too so that it flowed... Reminds me of the BOOSTER style kit...

Nice CF wing though thumbsup.gif

If the lip was more subtle, and maybe painted black or body color, it might look better...but as of now, go-kart FTL. kindasad.gif

But that spoiler is awesome! biggrin.gif And those headlight covers look good too, for some reason...nice car.

EDIT: and also, sorry about your auto. I feel your pain. kindasad.gif

X2 Kind of a cool lip, I think.

Did you make it, or buy it that way already made to fit the front bumper?

front lip doesn't look to bad, only if there was a lil bit more design into it instead of it being plain. Also would like to see it painted.

The lip is just a rubber strip i bought from clark rubber for $40. The rubber strip is originaly designed to go around the guards on 4wd's, to extend the mud gaurds, all it took was cutting it to length and then drilling and screwing it in. I do think it would flow better with side skirts mabey oem ones painted in a sort of saturn black to match the colour of the lip, which is black just not gloss shown in the pics. Originaly i thought it would be difficult to make it work well but i think its turned out quite good and think its definalty a cheap improvement on the stock look. But thanks for the coments, really keen to make it flow more with skirts now wink.gif
