My new JDM lip for Mazda6 06-08

[hurricane]

My project is finally done! A front lip for 2006-2008 Mazda6.
It’s an adaptation of original Mazda JDM lip that doesn't fit our bumpers. Started from SCRATCH, a custom hand made design from pictures of the JDM Atenza. I spent more than 200h of work on that. I'm really happy with the results. It fits like a glove and even if I’m lowered with Mazdaspeed springs, I can drive in the snow without any concern since it's only 1/2 inch lower than stock.

The latest pictures of it, painted and installed on the car:

No doubt a very high quality lip...Once again, well done Stephane! (2thumbs)

NOTE: hurricane (Stephane) must first become an AMM before offering these lips for sale. At this time, Stephane has decided to only post about his project and withhold from becoming an AMM and offering these lips for sale...Thank you.

+ 1 million on that. I hate that theres only about 2 styles for lips on the speed... AE and HD lol. Even if bumper flares were available I think I'd buy them.
