Well regardless of the swirl marks you wouldn't of seen them if I didn't include the one picture. I assume its from them washing it. Regardless its back to the body shop tomorrow.

I really wanted the FB with CF lip but apparently it wasn't offered anymore. Next step is CF wrapping my Oem spoiler and CF autokits rear lip.

Also, I noticed the same thing my tire did look low in the picture I checked them I think its just the combination of the gravel and my angle of taking the picture.

Looks great on the sides. Can you post some more pics similar to the above angle? I know nothing about bodywork but I had hoped the molding would be more seamless. I wanted it to look factory, but the above looks like one piece added to another with some filler to even them out. Maybe it's the pic or maybe I was expecting too much, but I would like to see some different angles if possible.

Thanks for posting pics!!

Question

Thanks for the fresh pic. First off, I was mistaken. The molding is awesome! What I thought was messy molding is actually a messy looking seam. I have attached a pic with a white line around my concern. It looks better in your second pic but the seam still seems a bit thick. Or is it just me???

That seam is just part of the lip It looks kinda weird in the pics too with the light and everything. In person it looks great though. I will take some more pics once I get it out of the body shop again. Also, my coils are on the way I just have to find a shop to put them on near here or Tampa then I will get some legit pics with the drop.

In Tampa I would go to S&R Performance, Cars and Concepts or maaaybe B2.

I thought maybe it was just me. I have never noticed the seams on other ones and I have looked at lots of them. The ONLY weakness I ever saw (IMO) was the lack of molding for a really clean look.
Love to see more pics when she is all cleaned up. This is a mod I am REALLY interested in for my car.

Thanks for posting pics!

Do you know what processes and materials were used to do the molding? How has it stood up to flexing, cracking etc.?
