Volvo Virgin Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 +100 for the rear flaps.They keep the car MUCH cleaner!I must say I really like the front view of your front lip fab.It looks sharp the way you didn't continue it across the center.Kinda emulates a splitter.Nice work! ........and I'd actually consider leaving it black if you're scraping it all the time.It matches your mud flaps and grill,and tho painted might look better when it's first painted,I'm thinkin black would look better than scraped up,chipped,flaking paint.

Oreo931 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I was scraping it all the time when the whole lip was there...after trimming it as seen in the pictures there is rarely scrapage...as for painting it, you have seen my car before, its two tone, part kevins color, part flat black, half of the bumper is flat black if you look closely so I plan on painting the lip/splitter to match the bumper ... pics with a real digi cam will come after I finish sanding and painting...Are you coming to either the York meet or VA meet Rob?

miniman342 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 it would look better if you didn't paint the bottom half of the front bumper flat black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
