Bomex front lip on Z1 shop car.

John@Z1 · 10-08-2009, 12:36 PM

This is the first Bomex lip in the US. We had a day to have it installed but it still lined up pretty good (please ignore the rivets). Also the center under the fangs is carbon fiber. Ok on to the pics.

Thanks for posting the pics. I don't think that looks as good as the photoshop drawing.

looks terrible. the front end of the bumper is mostly curves and adding a lip that is done mostly in angles doesn't flow well at all and really looks tacked on.

So smooth out the center, lose the gap in the very center between the lip and the bumper, lose the area right near the opening where it juts in and just make it one smooth flowing piece across there, smooth the radius's to match the contour of the front bumper and you have a winner in my book!

I think I said smooth 100 times!

^^ I agree as well. I looked better in the illustration. But it's ok. There are other worse looking lips out there. I looks nice looking at it from the front (last pic). The other angles are so so.

Not sure if this is going to the final version.

Another tally for the "I don't think that looks as good as the photoshop drawing" camp.

It looks...okay.

I thought it looked pretty good when I saw it in person.
