Ask for Casey, hes the owner and one who does the installs. He did my dads Mustang as well as mine. Let him know I sent ya

Oh yea, he has two vinyls he can use. One like mine with the air channels that will give it a "CF" look, or a the one without channels that is smooth, but very hard to get flat without any bubbles.

Was yours 200? I want a black roof, not really sure if it would look good. I'm running windows 7 so I'm not sure if I can install my adobe on it yet, havent really tried.

so yea, I went to the ups store for the hell of it and asked for a price quote, 101 bucks to ship and 30 bucks for a custom box to ship the lip kit, crazy. When to ups and they said, make your own box to wrap around the lip and it will be 16 bucks. Spent about 15 bucks in shipping supplies and 30 mins later its crazy to ship, awesome!

I thought i did but i dont.

Even if i did though it would have been from when the printer didnt print a true black and it had a brown tinge to it.

Ill add it to my list of things to take pictures of.

may be that corner where lip meets the bumper on the second picture might need trimming but other than that, it seems like good layer of 3M tapes will be good enough

yea, i couldn't wait. taking off that typeS lip was bitch too.

now i know how much more to cut to fit it right, but i screwed it up on the sides by cutting it bit too much. wish i had one more base lip, than i can perfect it second time

but even though sides don't look perfect, i'm really loving the base lip look with angular corners. car looks much much cleaner and updated

will bondo stay on over the years? wonder how much and where i can get it done with polyurethane like jptl04's lip.

oh also my front-end feels lighter with bulky typeS lip gone




btw... how much can you go if you fill up your tl these days?
