Slek Lip

Have you seen anyone paint this lip to match the car? I would love to see what AW lip would look like on that car.

Just curious, is there any significant advantage in aerodynamic by putting frond unter spoiler? or purely just for looks?

To me it looks dodgy .. not "blend" in with the car .... like the ACS much better ...

According to one of my customers who is also an engineer said there plenty of down force generated by this lip at speed and that is why the lip will not stay mounted on his car. I have no idea how fast he was going.

Hey guys, I've done some quick photoshopping of the lip on Powerbeast's AW 1m... sorry for not giving Powerbeast a heads up in using his pics! I think the lip looks great on BSM, but not so sure about the lip painted white on AW. Super sexy from the front, but if seen from profile seems like the lip drops a bit much if the line of the sideskirts were extended forward.

What do you guys think?

I think - thanks for taking the time. And Good job on the subtle fading treatment of the inlet areas.

Request: AW 1M, unpainted, but w/ red CRT stripe on the leading edge.
