Any word yet? I am really excited to see this.
If it looks as good as I hope it will, this will probably be the thing that pushes me into actually buying it.
My only concern is how it will hold up. I.E Will I see a crack or any kind of separation after a year.

update

I'm out of town down in Tampa right now until Sunday but I can't wait to see it either. He was pretty convincing with its durability as well as FG being able to be fixed pretty much no matter how it breaks It should be fine. However, I did have my doubts and thought of getting the JP molded instead. Anyways once I get back I'll post picks up on Monday.

I was in the same boat with my AutoKitsX front lip that I bought a few weeks back. Finally decided to not mold it, and I actually just had it installed today, my body guy said that on black the lines really flow much better then he thought they would and are much less noticable than they would be on say a red G. I didn't want to mold because I didn't want to lose the option of changing things up down the road etc.

My autokits cf lip is on its way. I've decided not to mold it on though. But I do have a colormatch paint scheme in mind.

JP will look good molded but word of advice.. JP sits lower than any other kits out there and there's a good chance u will scrape it up (bad)... wouldn't be a good idea u think?

Anyone have any updates on this? I got my autokits lip in this week and am trying to decide what to do. The fitment on the lip is a little off and is going to need some work to make it look right so I am trying to decide if I should just go ahead and mold the whole thing or not.
