Based on that photo, the shop that painted it for you did a great job wetsanding and polishing it out after painting - I see zero orange peel, buffer trails, etc. You might want to let everyone know who did the work so others in your area can use them as well.

I haven't really decided on which lip to get and this one isn't too expensive just to try out. I got some questions if you guys can help out:
1. Do you guys think this lip will look good on SGM?
2. How about installation, is it pretty straight forward?
3. One last thing, will there be an issue if I'm lowered on F-Sport springs?

2. Mount the same location as OEM, 2 snap screws and 9 screws.
3. Mine is actually already lowered that's why I was on the curve to see if it clears and yes it does clear. I have an eibach lower springs, see my signature.

I like the OEM accessories for the back but I also like to have quad exhuast, NOT the ISF one, I like two on each sides. Anyways, short on funds at the moment since I'm also spending my money currently on my 2006 corvette. I will probably do something for the back next year, I still to like to have quad and hopefully by then somebody makes the bumper to accomodate.

The shop acutally messed up because they did not sand off the gel coat and things started bubbling when they cured it at their oven. It came out nice because they had to redo it four times. The painter thought it was already prep and the service manager forgot to tell him to sand off the gell coat. The paint job is warrantied for as long as I own the car. The shop is sterling something in McQueen and Guadalupe in Gilbert, AZ.
wow that looks better than i thought it would
