Looking mean! I love it. Can't wait to see the price on the front lip kit (as I took a healthy gouge out of my OEM lip kip)

rear still looks kind of funky.. the front lip looks good, sideskirts are okay.

i think overall imho.. the front lip is worth getting.

Wow, excellent looking car. However, the wheels now looks small and ill-sized for the car. 20-21" sizing will fix that.

That's interesting because I think those wheels are 20's.

Yup - those are 20's. I've got the same ones.

Seeing the harrows next to the legend II's, the legends look bigger because the spokes go out to the end of the wheel, and there is no lip.

Yikes, that sucks... But, that design isn't my taste anyway. I'm a fan of the concave look with a bit of a shiny lip. I think that would work better for the design, IMHO.

Will the price still the same as listed on your website? What about individual piece? Since the 2012 rear bumper is different.

Ok, so we have to revised a small section on the front lip where it ataches to the bumper, we got a little sagging that needs to be addressed. However we came up with a solution. The rear will require either silicone adhesive for those who dojn't want to drill holes, but we will have to use holes for those who want it on properlly. Just too much material to rely on 3M tape. Either way we are making a mounting point that can be used or not with the front and rear. Also have to build the mold for the front splitter. So I am guessing with all these adjustments and production time as well as in between production for our other products, about 3 weeks till they are shipping out to everybody.
I'll be finishing the rest of the pics and uploading while I call everybody.

Hey Ron, it would be awesome if you can make a splitter piece to cover up notch in the 2nd gen RL's front bumper I think it'll look hot with your work.

Hey Ron,
I think you should take a vacation to Ohio and turn my car into that car. Man that looks good!

I can't wait. Also, I'm thinking about stealing potmilkz idea and ordering the RJ grill all blacked out, to go with a blacked out lip kit, should look mean.

It's like that to continue the bumper profile downward. It's a solid piece. We also needed a pocket in there to attach the mounting point for those who choose to drill. One more pic of the rear coming soon to give a better idea.
