Is that Andrews old lip? Always liked that one. Nice work BTW.

Needs something more aggressive up front. Like the Bings lip.

Louis:
Yea man it is Andrews old lip, i have his side skirts too but im digging these FRP ones that i got offa Travis.
I love that bings lip, but the shipping is just as much as the lip itself!!!

I really wanna get this front bumper for my car, just a tad more expensive, but frp man!!

Josh:
I followed the instructions exactly to be honest :P (not trying to be a dick)
I sanded the cracks just to get that rough surface and applied the fibreglass sheet to the back of the lip with the resin/hardener mix
I did 3 layers of fibreglass to be sure that it wont crack again
When i was doing that i was making sure the cracks were as close as possible to each other so that it still retained its original shape.
Waiting like 30 mins for it to cure then on the outside part i filled tiny parts of the cracks with bondo then I, sanded and sanded and sanded till it was smooth! took me a good hour till i got the right smoothness with 80grit sandpaper
then i feathered it with 400 grit sandpaper to get that extra smoothness and primered it up :)

thats just the jist of it lol
