This is the best i can do in photoshop, so dont make fun of my skills.
Use a lil imagination and squint your eyes so it wont look so bad.

a couple of things:
its really nice that you are designing this new lip, but maybe a brand new design will be nice.. since that current design exists already, this is just a suggestion
as for the photoshop above... why not simply put that photo of your car as a background in the program you use to render the lip, position the lip so that it fits the shape, and render it
if it doesnt work out for you, let me know, i'm modeling and rendering in 3ds max for almost 4 years now, so i can help you out with that, even appllying a matching paint, so let me know.. maybe we can do something about this

Thanks... I was going to use a pic to do the final model, but I didnt have a front view when I did it. As for the non-original design, I like the dg lip design, I just thought it needed so minor modifications. If you or anyone else can come up with a new design that looks good on our car, by all means, send it this way.

You are gonna have to explain yourself better cause I cant picture what you mean.altspace said:
When looking at the actual side profile of the car the front bumper lower edge travels down as it goes toward the back of the car. If a lip doesn't compensate for this and is just the same thickness all the way back, it exaggerates that look and it's funny looking. The AutoEXE lip countered this by just totally covering up that part of the bumper and doing their own thing to sorta make it flow to the front edge of the sideskirt, though they didn't really do that good of a job with it.. only looks normal on the hatchback, makes the sedans look funny from the side.
