07-08 maxima front lip prototyping.
Guys, sorry to keep you waiting longer than expected, this week I was stuck with getting my silver maxima ready cause I sold it, but had to do a lot of thing to it, like swap the suspension brakes and wheels, etc 
, I did do some research and decided on a shop that will do the finishing layer on the lip, Jsmith knows who they are and in fact they are the ones doing his bumpers ,

i spoke with max2damax earliar this week guys and here's the update.
"I tried to drop off the lip last week at AIT, so they can finish it up but my contact there was in vacation,
"
anyways mrmurphyz, you have any more pics of your grille? if you do, do you mind posting some up? i'm planning to get one, but just wanted to see it from other angles than the pics they have posted on ebay.

I talked to the guy already, Im droping off the lip next monday, I'll work on it some more this weekend but they will finish it off, pics to come, Im actually buying an 07 front bumper to make sure everything lines up just the way I want it, and that front bumper will also help me for some future projects 
I couldn't get graymax's bumper last week, so no pics yet, I didn't drop off the lip cause I needed the bumper to either finish the lip my self or have the manufacturer finish it, good news is that I just picked up the bumper yesterday , so do expect an updated pic sunday.

IM HOPING I WON'T DISAPPOINT ANYONE WITH THIS UPDATE, BUT HERE IT GOES,
sooooorry guys, Big update, and big change, as you may know the lip was going to end up been almost 3" high, well last weekend I had to make a choice do I fix it or do I start all over again, as as you may see I did just that, this new lip is 2" high (what I was shooting for since the beginning) it'll end up flatter more oem like, just like on the first photoshop, as you can see is not done yet but its actually closer to a finish look than what the older was.
I do want to apologize to all of you who have been waiting so patiently for this, but I want to make sure this comes out looking as good as possible, when I look at the finish product I want to be able to say, "If it wasn't my product I would definitely buy one" and I can expect anything different from you guys, on to the pics.
I like this new design better, hope you guys do to, keep in mind there is still work to be done, just try to picture in your head a nice clean lip. :P

If you look at the lines on this lip, it better design to flow with your bumper's oem lines which are already sexy. so this lip will just pretty much finish those lines that right don't seem to go anywhere.
well as you may know the original date won't happen, (late summer), I can asure you I'll be working on this new lip every afternoon this week, its though to say how long since I have been moving finish dates back and forward, so I'll just post 1 update every two days this following week and we will go from there
Thanks for the update man....
can't wait to see the progress in the next couple of weeks.
so it looks like the lip actually attaches to the bottom of the bumper? So it makes the bumper longer in height...???

here is the update as promised, not much cause I couldn't work on it Monday and today I only had a couple of hours, I cut and trim the other side's hole outline, and prepped the lip for cutting but got dark so no more noise for the neighbors,
