If the lip fits, wear it!

I feel the same way.....doesnt flow very well. Guess we'll see how this custom one is going to look like. The DG lip flows very well the car though, i just wish there were some sideskirts and rear lip to flow with it. Front end seems to aggresive for the rest of the car from any other view than straight on.

This is probably because the AutoEXE lip was designed and used on the AutoEXE Protege5, not a sedan. With the lip on the sedan, you're right the front end overpowers the rest of the car from the side profile view. On the P5 you have the whole.. hatch thing so it kinda works.

The issue I found with the Carbon Creations lip is that it accentuates the taper downward from front to rear. If it was cut to run parallel with the ground then maybe it would work better with the flow.

Keep the comments coming... I'm considering every idea, as long as it goes with my overall concept.

it looksss freaken awesome!!!!!!!!

Should've designed it to look different than the DG lip. At least it'll stand out instead of having a bunch or replicas.

It will look a lil different when I do the final model, but the DG design was pretty good to begin with so it will resemble it.

You mean the AutoEXE lip.. it was DG who didn't make something different

Precisely! This is its major flaw imo.

From looking at that new design.....why dont u create a rear diffuser?? I have yet to see one fitted on a P5 or 3rd Gen protege. Justa thought.

 

[02PROTEGE2.0]

wanna work on makin a sedan lip? i bet there would be alot of interest... =)

It would be alot harder to make a rear lip in CAD cause I would have to model the bumper first and that's not easy cause of all the curves. The front lip is alot easier to make cause the bottom of the front bumper is almost flat.
