Break out your pens, pencils, and photoshop programs children...S4 front lip

...another project I'm going to try and offer...

S4 front lip.

I want to find a design that looks good with the stock Zenki front bumper. So far, I've not seen an S4 lip that I like...most of them seem to be fitted from other cars or something. So please paint me a mental picture with a nicce description of what you'd like....or flat out draw me a picture. This is something I'd like to be able to take on in the next couple of months...

I think this and the sleek headlams will be my winter projects....

I could do that one, but I'm not a big fan of it. I've only seen it in that one picture, though...

makenzie u know u love my lip on my car =) oh yah i fixed it a lil and aligned it more. but heres what i learned for s4 bumpers to have a nice looking lip, it needs more horizontal lines and must be bold sorta, not too much curves, make it look like its from the 80's and not futuristic. get what im saying?

Something I was thinking about...I'll come back later with a rendering...was almost like bolting up the lower couple inches of a stock bumper. Something that would have the exact same lines as the stock bumper, included the middle feed, but minus the side openings. Anyone with photoshop get what I'm talking about? Wanna try to stick something up?

lol....great rendering ....... dont like the r1 lip too much though... the fc is more angled than curved (the fd is curved)... so that lip looks out of place..... but i give you props for trying something different though!! try the s5 t2 oem lip... see how that looks.... basically a "body extension".... but still classy

I think vice wins hands down, we need something better than the standard oem lip, something with a little bit of style but not to much or rediculous, again vices stands out in this fasion.

yeah dont make something as thick as mine....i thought an 3 inches thick would be fine and then when i put it together i realised how rediculous it looked from the front so i had to scrap it and make it 2 inches which was still too big going as far foward and agressive as i was. So dont make the vertical depth more than 1.5 inches. Use balsa as a frame and go from there. For now I am in the middle of a sleek headlight kit, and when my supplies get in I can finally start to produce that dash kit....
