my custom front lip concept, need your inputs Options

[HaRv3sTeR]

Ok..the deal: I want a front lip but i cant find one that really suits me. I want something clean and subtle that flush the front of the car with my OEM skirts but at the same time, i want something that is not too much.

The closest thing i found (in term of lip height) are the euro-spec front splitters:



..but still im not 100% into it and i want a "FULL" lip so my idea is to mod them by filling the middle. I made some photoshops to see what it might look like and im stunt with the results (ignore my poor skills):












im sure that any shop can do this easily....so i think my idea is realistic

now i have 2 questions:

1-I can have the OEM poly-rubber splitters or the replica fiberlgass one....which one do you think would be the easier to do this mod?

2-I plan later on to get a gt4 front bumper and hood....will my "custom" lip fill correctly the gt4 bumper? ( i know the splitters fit both...but maybe the shape/lenght/width of the gt4 bumper is different and might screw up the "full lip fitment)?

what do you guys think?


PS: hope the members which i use their car pic wont mind

HaRv3sTeR, I have the same problem, I'll be finally owner of a Celica in these days and I want a different front but I'm not happy of that ones I've seen till now.
However I don't think to reach best result with a lip, instead with an entire bumper....
But this bring cost higher..
For example I have the idea to start from a C-ONE bumper (and to start from the real C-ONE, and not replicas, for me in Italy is very expensive) and simplify it (I don't like too many holes in the bumper, I think they aren't .. how to say...modern).
My idea is this one (I hope it can help you or suggest something),
they are not perfect photoshopped but I think they communicate the idea:
