Default PICS: Vertex Lip Installed!

Had the Vertex lip put on the car yesterday. Took some shots with my iPhone. I also had the front reflectors smoked and the emblems painted magnetic black to match the car.

I've had a lot of requests for pics of this lip to see fitment so sorry for the barrage of pics ;p

Fitment pics...

Last one looks like the paint is messed up near the lip. It's just a reflection of the white lines in parking lots.

Looks good, you should do your headlight too to finish up the front, not smoke them but take them apart and paint the insides

Thanks. I keep debating whether or not I want to paint the headlights. I don't like the 06's when everything in the housing is painted. I've been trying to find pics of different styles to see if I like anything.

I'm also worried about resealing them incorrectly.

Those two problems are directly related.

I didn't want to get rims because I don't want to lower the car. I don't want to lower the car because the roads in Atlanta suck. Especially now with this lip, there's no way I have room to lower the car and not shatter it into a million pieces.

Honestly, I love the look of the stock rims. I may consider swapping them out, but at this point it's just not practical.

It's all good, no rush to do anything.

The roads are bad here as well but I just don't go into certain areas and try to plan out my routes. Once you get used to driving around with a lip on your car and feel comfortable with it you can start to think about getting wheels.

Best of luck

Had em powder coated. Still no problems with cracking after a year.

I guess if they crack, I'll HAVE to get rims ;p
