Still working on molding it to sit at a lower angle, for it angles up pretty harshly right now. The maker is Benz vs BMW.

Here's how it looks right now, I'll have more photos of it soon. It'll probably be for sale once I buy the HTAuto front lip also. :P



And a quick video of how I get into my driveway everyday now.



And, here's the comparison video of the Hellas.

Good looking car man. I bought the same lip from benz vs bmw yeah the lip is sitting to high lol. Did you ever find a way to lower the lip down?

I put some black electric wire inbetween the bumper and the lip, which has lowered it down some.

Here's some photos to help explain a little what I've done. It's not perfect but I think it sits a little better. All I did was shove black 12g(I think) wire in the gap, and push it in with a screwdriver.



As you can see, most of the lip comes down flat now, looks a lot better. The only exception being the center. And that's why I leave wood on it when I garage it. Over time it'll bend the polyurethane out, and if you do it out in the hot sun it'll keep it bent down.

I will try this just waiting for the weather to be better. Its damn cold here. Yeah they said that if you sit it out in the sun it will bent down. When i installed the lip thats not the look that i want but i dont want to spend $ again for another lip so ill just take your advice.

Once I get my fitment more on point, I'm dropping this lip and buying a full HTAuto kit. So yes, I will be doing Sideskirts and rear spats, eventually. Most likely around March.

They are stock headlights/bulbs, haven't touched them. The fog lights are the Nigel-JDMParts basic $112 kit, with Nokya H11 yellow bulbs.

The lip is an eBay Benz vs BMW front lip, thanks!

Your car is going to look rad with some aero! I love your build, shits on point.

Where'd you get that shift knob? I've been looking for a red one like that.

Thanks man! That knob was a gift from an ex-gf lol. She got it from Itsproper.com, but I've seen them on ebay too. I looked the other day because I want a different color than purple.
