What do you guys think about the fitment

I got a front lip installed , the lip is from turner motorsports f30 m performance style front lip spoiler/splitter for $250. I just wanted to see your guys opinion on the fitment . IDK how to post pics on here but heres a link on my flickr account. I had the splitter pained alpine white and left the lip matte black

To me it just looks like the splitter is new and clean and your car looks a little dirty. Give it a wash and then compare, other than that looks good.

Fitment isn't bad. I see the area where you're questioning. But that's really minor. It's probably amplified because you didn't paint the whole thing the same color.

I also think the color or maybe the finish is a little different. But that could be the lighting or the fact that the surface of the lip under the paint is different than the surface of the bumper. This is very very minor and it looks great. I wouldn't let it bother you.

maybe its the angle of the camera flash? I think in some pictures it matches and some don't. But yeah, I think its a minor thing, probably can only tell the difference if you constantly look at it that close

I say it looks good

Thanks bro
If you look at it in the day time, the color is actually off. Im kind of pissed, my shop usually does a good job but they screwed this one up. Although it is minor, still lol. Im going to probably take it off after winter is over and OEM front lip

I think it actually looks better on the left side, fitment wise. But maybe your right. Regardless I am not happy with how it came out, will take it off and get OEM front lip

Definitely the wrong shade of white. White is one of the hardest colors to color match. They went too bright.

not necessarily. That all depends on what you want to do. My first lip was all matte black left it unpainted . Some people paint there lip and leave the splitters black or vice versa. Some even paint both lip and splitter to color match their car. So it all depends on what look your going for .

Well, I definitely want that best look, but i haven't really seems good pictures to compare those options. I have matte black diffuser and the matte black vinyl to match with. But, I also went color match rear spoiler and still have silver 403 wheels. And I'm not thinking to put the side skirts also.

you can google pics , front lip for white f30 and you will see how each look. If I was you I would just keep my front lip matte black. That's what I'm going to do next

i think it looks decent, but I'm leaning towards buying the Selma MTECH front bumper with the pre-installed lip, and will probably get the whole thing painted alpine white.
