It was not to bad. A little trimming and cutting and some bolt hole relocating. it took us about 30 minutes to do it. We are thinking about making some carbon copies but have not decided yet.

My opinion (take it as only that ):

Neato...congrats on the work.

However, if you were going to produce copies, you need to address the issue of the corners...they hang over the lip...maybe a lil glass lay ontop for the mold piece?

Side 1/4 shot would be nice, as well as a side shot.

Photo shopped?? it would have taking me longer to photoshop it (not much of a computer guy) than it did to put it on, the owner of my shop got the 99 spec lip for his wife's car, and had the old lip lying around unused so after work we threw it on--

really bad bc the S5 bumper cover has little "fangs" on either side that extend down from the grille meaning the Ri lip would have a nice gap at that sectin, not good.
