That New Non-R Lip

Many of you are aware that I am not normally a fan of the conventional. Many of you also know that I have never been excited about the lack of available front spoilers for our cars. I've been running homebrew, improvised junkyard lips for some time now. After running the lastest rendition for a few years I decided it was time to change it up a bit. So made some plans and purchased some raw materials to see what I could come up with. Some will love it and some will hate it.
 
Sorry for some of the potatoe pics in advance.
 
Started with this:

And ended up with this after Day 1 in my garage:

I was happy overall with the outcome but upon mounting to the car I decided that it did not sit low enough for my tastes. So I took yet another trip to the hardware store and grabbed one of my many junkyard lips and went to town for a second day. The end results:

I have had some inquiries about producing the lip for the masses but have yet to work out the logistics. In the next few weeks I will be making prototypes for the 850R, non-R X70 and S60R.
