Agreed. Hopefully, someone would do it for me at the next big meet.

Painted lip? Why not duplicate TexPhil's avatar?

well, I decided to go with the majority vote and painted it brown.

it looked amazing.... for 90 minutes. due to my forgetfulness and lack of driving skills, i drove down a driveway straight and cracked the lip

I guess i was not meant to have a lip... or need to move to a city without driveways..

the lip only fits the umnitza m5tech bumper. i'm debating whether to fix it and just paint it black, or not to bothering with it at all. i think the latter is winning.

i think i'll just crack the lip again if i put it back on. i don't know how people can possibly drive with these lips.
