New Camera, Window Tint, and updated 626 lip! :)
Hey guys,
Been a little while since I've had something new but here's something for now. I got my front lip back from my friend that has been working on it for some time now. I've hung out while he was doing some of it but for the most part he molded it into one piece where they split in the middle and extended the ends to sit flush w/ FC fenders. I paint matched it and mounted it up. It's not perfect but it looks exactly how I wanted it.
I also got my windows tinted the other day @ 15% and they look very good in my opinion. Definitely helps w/ the suns heat and compliments the wheels and white paint I think. I'm really happy w/ them.
Also went back to my old Sony ways and bought a new camera today to play around with and have fun taking pictures again rather than worry about lenses, lugging a big dslr around, and settings/etc. I just wanna have fun shooting on the fly again and having nice colors. This camera has some pretty sick features and I can't wait for some nice weather to get out more and shoot w/ it. It started getting dark and it's new to me so they aren't the best but here you go.
1.
2. Headed up to my local run to cruise in the mountains for a bit... started getting dark.
3. Panoramic like WHAAA?
4. View from Caesar's Head... sunset!
5. Headed back down the mountain...
6. Close up of the right side of the 626 lip...
Comments welcome!

Thanks for the compliments guys! The lip is a 90's Mazda 626 lip that has had a **** ton of work done to it... they originally don't line up w/ FC fenders and have a split in the middle. I bought the lip from the local pick and pull junk yard for $6 including the $2 to get in... So it was $4. lol. About $60 worth of fiberglass, resin, kitty hair putty, etc. and lots of time got it looking the way it does. Still not perfect but it's what in my eyes, what an S4 lip should be. I have a friend of mine to thank for doing all the work for me. I simply painted it and installed it.
Suspension... Bilstein coilovers. Yeah I don't like rubber band tires. I drive the mountains really hard and want to have some meat on there to soak up bumps and not destroy my wheels.

No I know... I want it gone. But my friend removed his and completely fucked his car up. haha. I will have to get a professional to do it. I know just the guy tho... When I take my car to him to have him polish my lips out I'll have him remove them. I want them done honestly. We will see tho. They aren't hurting anything for the time being.
Next things on the agenda are JDM window visors and OEM mudflaps (a complete set).

Thats EXACTLY how a lip should look!. I going to the junk yard tommarow and see if i can pick one up. I have a few questions about it. You said it dont line up with the fenders. Do you mean the curve is off or is it to long? i just want to get an idea of how the sides are. I also have a s5 bumper IDK how this would work but....
