Default Nia auto design front splitter

Hey haven't been on the forum in a while but here's a look at a front lip that I finished working on with nia auto design. It's not available and ready for the public

The Skipper front lip seems to be the only one that molds into the front bumper (which I like). I don't understand why all of the other companies make their front lips look detached and add a small space in between the lip and the bumper. Makes the car loop like it has an under bite.

Skipper lip is by far the best. It's really not even close.

Yea, I'm digging the overall look of the Skipper. That's a nice choice and touch. I also really like the look of the surrounding chrome around the grill and lip in that black finish. On the IS 250's, the bottom lip that is below the spindle grill is finished in matching color as the RC is a defaulted grey finish and plastic looking...not sure if anyone has noticed that.

I think if I do the Skipper lip I will have to paint or wrap the chrome so that it doesn't clash.

For sure. I was thinking about wrapping the surrounding chrome and lip in gloss black at one point, but I never went through with it for some reason. I don't want anyone touching my RC hahaha
