I want to see this on a White Max. I'm sure the contrast of colors would be nice!

Since the stock tips are integral with the mufflers he would have had to cut them off.

lip is pretty cool, but u can see the imperfections once you put some sheen clear coat on it.

darn I wish there was a front bumper spoiler option that was not as aggressive as the stillen version. Something to close up the gap without having to keep lowering the car more.

something like this:

Agreed. If you look at the Sarona kit, that would actually look pretty good slammed. Might be worth a look for people that want to go that route.

Ya I might consider the front sarona lip. It's decent and might work for what I want. I wish the sides would not flare out as much though.

That's a great idea and relatively harmless. Plus you get some protection from the odd high curb. My Max is black so this will work nice.

Since you're in Houston I can help you do it. I bought the stillen lip so I basically just ripped the other lip off. It held up pretty good I must say.

Make sure the screws you use are stainless steel. Don't over tighten or you will distort the lip.

That's good to hear. I'm liking this mod. I too, am not a fan of the stillen lip. I would prefer something a little smaller. I'll give this a try.

After reading this thread I swung by Home Depot to check out the garage seal. Everything that I saw there was a very soft and spongy foam strip. It seems that they have changed the way they make this stuff. I remember it being more of a rigid rubber material. Anyone else seeing this?

I think it's an ok option for the back/crimson black car colors.

It's okay but the standard Stillen lip still looks substantially better
