im guessing your new to the forums. it was purposely custom lowered by a body shop, im to lazy to go get a pic but just look in Rodney's build thread and you'll see it. the reason the line is still there i believe the body shop forgot to fill it in..

Nah, don't think so LOL

The lip is meant to fit around the bumper like a glove.

To be able to make the lip lower, you'd have to customise the lip; a lot of body work.

I'm not too sure, his ride has some crazy custom bodywork.

EDIT: Yup. Custom work done on front lip.
