Thinking about removing the lip
Here and my signature is what my car looks like now.
I'm seriously considering removing the lip and going back to the HD lip I had before in these shots
I am pretty sure I'm going back to HD. I think I like the cleaner, lower maintenance look. I have to keep touching up the paint on the fiberglass lip after any rock flies up and hits it, also I have to worry about curbs severely. Right now, I'm going to have to repaint the lip to make it show worthy. I'm more apt to just remove it.
Any oppinions?

I like my HD lip as much as I would any other lip, plus it's saved my paint on a couple of occasions where I miscalculated something's height.

you know i don't like those turby skirts. but as far as the front, i dislike anything that isn't one piece. this comes from my love for how rallycars look so badass on tarmac. for instance, these cars with one piece bumpers:
any front bumper from that era, all classics!
compared to this random thing, which just doesn't have that kind of passion or meaning behind it:

lol @ the last picture. When the aftermarket bumper isn't good enough... Add a lip, then give that lip a lip. And then put lips on the headlamps.
I'ma remove it for sure.

I really like the turby skirts. They are the only one that brings the rear bumper into the car. The rear bumper line does not match any body lines without the korean turby skirt.

im very anti lip kit I prefer one peice bumpers and the HD lip I have seen it done horribly on so many cars that it is just a huge turn off for me... personally with your front end how it is now, I think it is way too beefy for a simple HD lip I think you should def keep the lip kit you have now.

The lip was imported by importshark (from italy i think?). The part itself cost more then a new bumper from the dealership, or a e-bay body kit and paint. It would be a steal at this price.
