LOL I dont remember.... we were in such a rush to get it on I just stuck it on. The red backing was blank, I dont recall it being printed with the 3M logo. Doesnt mean its not 3M, I just am not 100% certain.

As far as speeds, well youve driven so much without me. Me personally driving your car I think I tested about 80 with that lip. On Thursday Ill test higher speeds, especially after the added downforce.

I think one of you should go to Big Willow and test it. For science of course. Slap a tune and you should be able to hit 140 down the straight away.

I just finished install yesterday so I will try to get those pics today for you.

[Drillslinger]

Yeah, that's what I was looking to see, the flow from the lip to the underbody panels, just couldn't figure out how to phrase it

Thanks

[Papethova]

Pics... hope I got what you wanted. I didnt resize them so you could see whatever details you were curious about. The side pictures werent working, I couldnt get the camera angle right to see anything.

[Drillslinger]

Wow dude, thanks for the extra effort (we're not worthy ).
Just what I was looking for

[EINSER M]

wow paps u really got down and dirty for those pics! you're the man!

[///M1]

Good job on this entire project, Paps! Looks great, like your choice of matt with the painted lip, very nice yet subtle touches.

That is exactly what I was after (and more) THX man! Laying on a blanket on the street and using the curb as studio equipment: PRICELESS! You gotta love the forum.

Your the No1 moderator (person that is a passionate advocate about his mods) in my book!

PS love the matte finish.

PS love the matte finish.

For some reason I just cant get the pics to be representative of what the piece looks like in person.

The matte did come out very nicely and balances all the shiny orange really well.

Thanks...quite a bit of mods still to come, both cosmetic and performance I prefer to fulfill my vision not load my car with what is available in the marketplace. If the market already offers what I had envisioned or wanted then I add it otherwise I try to make it myself. The passion is linked to the work that goes into getting it done. I see all the alternatives that failed or didnt look as I had envisioned so the final product that works has a different level of appreciation.

[Mr_M]

This is defectively car porn with all of this pics... and i love it. :-)

[Drillslinger]

GB is ending VERY SOON!

Lol, this kinda thing shouldn't be an impulse buy but after waffling back and forth on it I just said screw it and ordered (15 minutes before Midnight EST)

Thanks for pushing me over the edge Papethova

[Drillslinger]

Make that 3 hrs and 15 minutes before Midnight EST. (Damn I'm tired, lol)

I think youll be more pleased once you actually see the piece. it just doesnt look the same in the pics. Keep us updated.

FYI we are going with Pacific time so i think there is still over 24hrs left to order. I thought it expired on the 26th.

[Powerbeast]

Very nice!

Same here, yet while pioneering, you provide us with the luxury of being just a tad less adventurous, Big THX.

I know it's probably cliché by now, but i saw Einser M's lip in person yesterday and the pics DO NOT do the lip justice. The lip looks a lot less bulky in person than in the pics and compliments the front end nicely IMHO.

Now I was one of the members who signed up for the group buy and was dissapointed after seeing pics of the lip. I was actually planning to pass on the CRT lip and purchase the original Slek lip instead, but after seeing the lip in person yesterday i was sold, placed my order last night...
