After patiently searching for a lip, Simon aka Nomis_nehc found someone who sold one to me. The lip though is not going to be installed just yet. It will be completely modified. I will keep you guys up to date and hopefully the lip will be ready by Wednesday. If it is not ready by Wednesday It wont be able to go on my car for another 2 weeks (Vacation) I hope you guys like it, most of all I hope I love it.

The wings have been cut off. Still need 2 more days of work. Tomorrow hopefully it can be shaped to fit as best as possible. If not then this wont be done till next week when my brother inlaw comes back into town. Here are some picture so far.

First coat of primer, this is to point out the imperfections and the "rough draft"(first test fit) of the lip. Tomorrow will be a a second test fit after some modifications are made. Hopefully this will be done Wednesday. I will keep you guys updated tomorrow with more pictures.

You were my inspiration. I talked to ranz and they told me they can do it for me. But they are a 2 hour+ drive from me. My brother inlaw is soon it for me. I have your picture that I gave him to work off of. It is much classier this way. I am now wondering if I can lower the car at all with the eibach sprigs and the Bilstein Sport shocks and struts. I am real excited though. Hopefully it fits much better today. And what ever needs to be perfected will be done tonight and perimered as well. Tomorrow morning he will paint it, and maybe install it tomorrow night.

Nothing like a couple buddies and a few beers to do this install on a 95 degree + day. My lip is finished and installed I love it, imo looks way better than the regular Hamann lip. I will get better pictures but here are a few for now.
