Nice work!

Looks ten times better than a normal Hamann lip.

Thank you for all your support. I was nervous messing up a hamann splitter, but I was confident in my brother in law. Now I just don't think I can lower my car. I wanted to but now I don't think it is a good idea. I scrape when I go into my driveway. I am going to get my car detailed and take some pictures. I will make sure I post.

Glad everything worked out!

Well since I can't lower my car, I may as well get it wrapped.

I have a Hamann lip and car is lowered. You can try going in/out of your drive way at an angle to avoid/minimize scraping your lip. Once my rear wheels are cleared from the drive way, I first turn my steering wheel fully to one side and then slowly reverse. If I were to reverse out straight, I would significantly scrape it otherwise.

Hope my explanation makes sense.

+1 same with me. EXACTLY what I have to do. You just kind of "dog walk" it up. I am lowered on Dinan suspension. Very moderate drop. You scrape on a lot of stuff. Haven't had it long but starting to get used to it.
