Photochop help - Stillen rear lip idea.

Can someone help me out and photochop the "slotted" section at the bottom of the Stillen lip to be black. I've done the crappy MSPaint version, but that does not give a good enough idea of how it would look.

Hopefully sickmax doesn't mind me using his pic as the test mule.




TIA.

Not quite what I had in mind....it needs to have the visible parts painted black as well. To make it look like that area is "empty".

So it would end up looking similar to this:



Thanks for the help!

I thought about that, but I am not sure how sturdy these pieces are? I am also not sure if they can fill in the holes? What is the Stillen piece made out of, polyurethane?

I'm a fan of the dual exhaust tips as well. Does any company make them, cause I've been searching and this is the closest thing I've seen so far:

i was lookin into the rear diffuser look also, but there no way you can use any other cars because they either have dual, dont fit, or the exhaust cut is on the left side. would be nice if stillen designed a rear diffuser version of the rear lip. shoots i even looked up an actual rear diffuser itself as an add on and they cost from like $800-4000!

It's not my car, it's sickmax's. I do not believe his drop is chopped, I think he actually rode around like that.
