Default Should i do this?

Here is a crappy photoshopped picture i did last night.

I shaved the reflectors and molded the front lip. i also did a ****ty job paintin the spokes on the wheels.. lol. Anyhow.. the main focus here is shaving the reflectors and molding the lip to the stock bumper... what are your thoughts??

yeah it looks tight there was a PPW Z that did that in the Modified mag a few months ago. He also shaved the rear turn signal. It looked hella good. You might wanna think about getting the Aerosync bumper and just shaving the reflectors

i got the hookup on bodywork. so it would cost me next to nothing.

also.. the aerosync bumper's lip doesnt extend out as far as mine does

I think that looks good, What do you think of Molding the Varis Air Duct into the bumper as well, leaving the outside painted silver and the inside in CF still?
