+1 also on matching the shape of the Veilside lip. I'm going to take it out later today for some shots. Let's just hope I can make it out of my driveway

Now let's see some decent pics with that new front splitter!
Thanks

...... but seriously I have a long way to go to catch up to the top cars on this forum. Slowly but surely. As for more pix, I will try to get some up by tonight.

I haven't driven with it on yet, but I just measured that there's only 2.5" that separates my front end and the floor

Aside from its function, I think the adjustable support rods are stylish and add an aggressive demeanor. I angled it so that it follows the lines and direction of the headlights and flows smoothly.

Pic: not the final cut or pre-drill. I just took the pic because I noticed how cool the reflection was by accident.


I had second thoughts going into this mod, but after seeing the finished product I couldn't be more happier...now I need an ARC oil cooler to fill up that mouth.


Here's the carbon accents I left on my Veilside lip. The clear lining around the border is my clear bra. I recently applied it to protect my paint and its still in the curing stages.





BTW, I got a new look for my rear. It won't be until a few months that I'll receive it. I had to wait four months for my wheels, six months for my carbon lip, and now I have to wait again, lol. I guess good things are worth the wait
sick man , one question did u put something at the edge of the splitter like some sorta rubber or does it come like that thank u

I've been viewing this thread for quite some time now, your build is coming along really clean. I like how you thoroughly decide on yours parts.

Was super clean before. That front splitter just ruined it for me. Looks so out of place.

I definitely take my time in choosing parts. Since its my hobby, I'm in no rush and work on specific parts before moving on to the next.

I made it by 3mm If I misangle my approach it'll scrape......let's hope I'm accurate every time.

Hey what's up man. Long time no see I actually purposely used those bushes to mix it up a little.

Tell me about it. This color is not very popular, but I love how exotic it is. As far as the oil cooler, I know how to go that route, but ARC is...... well ARC
