LOL... im with freekwonder.... if it was a chick... id do her

san jose huh?? thats kinda nifty... seein as how everyone that gets something spiffy done to their mp3/p5 is either in the northeast or florida... good to see that there are a few ppl out here in cali gettin the good shit done =) and the best thing about it... is that I live here too... so I got some more options... btw... what was the price for the lip?

Everytime I look at those pics I have to go to the bathroom to clean out my boxers. I think our secretary is starting to think I have diarea or something.

is it just me or the paint of the lip+grill doesnt match the body paint? :confused:

Yup, it looks like he's got the same paint problem I got. The front bumper is actually slightly off from the rest of the car. But, his new lip, and grill are the same color as his car, therefore making it seem they are are off, when their not.

Does that make sense?

I'm also assuming the lighting from the picture is exagerating the difference more as well.

It could be that the shop that painted it used to many clear coats. That can sometimes throw the paint off scheme. I wonder if you can notice it in person. Either way it still looks tight:)

So how much did it cost you for both pieces, painted, and installed?

Im guessing $600 or more...
