Lucky! it will take a minute to get used to that low lip.

Be careful on driveways, speed bumps, going over big dips in the road (like at intersections) too fast, and d@mn near anything in the road. I ran over a piece of tire the first day I had the kit and u would have thought I hit a curb!! took the paint right off my front lip.

U might even thing about backing into spaces from now on.

Lastly, watch people (and urself) walking around the front of the car. it is easy to step on the darn thing. It takes a while to get used to there being something there.

You got any pictures of what you're thinkin' about for your car Juan? I've been thinking about this for awhile now and just can't seem to come up with anything tasteful for my car. Kinda frustrating.

well i really do like the coloring on mikes vinlys. I think that the chrome and black will go very well with my theme already. As you stated earlier though Kelly tasteful and gaudy are a fineline from one another ... so alot of thought has to go into it. I thought about staying with the Vortech emblem on each side only a little larger maybe the entire door? Hmm Im going to give it some thought..

dood it looks like they did a great job...is it me or the camera, the fender paint looks a lot brighter than the hood of the car...or maybe you need another car wash... looks like i'll give them a call to do my grill when it arrives...

Ok to explain it once and for all ... if you look closely at the cars position and the sunlight.. you will see that the front end is sticking out of the garage..therefore the only thing getting hit with the sun is the front end...what you are seeing is a reflection of the blue sky on the red paint..look closely at it.. on one of the last pics you can see the same light hitting the corner of the drivers side and the stock fenders glows the same color .. hopefully this will end the confusion of the odd reflection of color..
lol
