here are some pics of the lip right before i dropped it off to paint. The previous owner wore a hole through the carbon so a while back i had a body shop fiberglass the lip and apply undercoat to the bottom portion of the lip and leave the carbon exposed on top.

the lexan isn't perfectly clear, it's almost has a smoked look. don't know if the previous owner tinted it or not, but i'll probably leave it like that. you can see from the rear view picture that the view through the rear window and through the front window has a slight darkness to it.
