I have thought about it! Just wondering how much of a PITA getting the dip out of the "O"'s and "P" would be... Is there a trick?
I thought the same thing which is why I held off doing it for a while but when I did it, it was really easy. Just used a tooth pic. Took 20 mins to get it all off.

Looks good, but you may want to consider OEM front mudguards. Your going to get a lot of material off those front tires, and it is going to coat the side of the car. The rear ones help also, but are not as critical.
Not so much that I did anything, but I did order a lot of things I will need for up coming projects...
Ordered replacement fittings and hoses for my OCC.
Ordered a muffler for the mid pipe to help cut down some vibrations and noise. Also ordered a 3" V band and clamp for some modifications to my exhaust, and DEI exhaust wrap for the DP and exhaust. I'll be installing my 3" downpipe soon, then fitting a full 3" inch exhaust. Right now it goes 2.5" out the turbo to 3" from just behind the transmission all the way out.
Waiting on delivery of my 50mm K04. I already have the aluminum 2.5" cold side pipe, I will need to make an attachment for a recirculation valve on the pipe and block off the one on the turbo. I already have a plug that will cancel out the signal for the OEM diverter valve.
My Satin Black 17x8.5" wheels just arrived last week, they weigh 17 lbs each. Ordered a wheel stud kit to make wheel rotations, etc easier. I still need to order 245/45/17 tires, rear adjustable control arms and coilovers.
Once all that is done... I'm going to wrap the car in Matte Black and add a few Matte Bronze accents to make the car pop.
Most of this is for my own pleasure, the wrap is sort of 50/50. I'm starting up a new company and I want my car to be reflect our brand as to what my company represents without having any names/websites on the car.
Thanks for that but what about the removal of the stock lip?
under the front fender trims are two riverts you have to pop off. Use some plastic pry bars to peel the front fenders about halfway or enough to get to them. Then work your way down and through the rest of the front spoiler. It helps to have those plastic prybars because you'll be prying against the front clip and stock spoiler to pop it off.
I got my KW V3 coilovers and hotchkis rear lower control arms in. Sitting right at 2" lower. Pic is bad, but I don't really care until I get my new wheels on. Drives so much better now. Weird thing is that the drive train feels tighter, now... less laggy. Not sure why. Maybe the taller suspension introduces some squat induced slack feeling?

Finally finished my 3" exhaust. Running the ATP 3" downpipe and a full custom exhaust from the DP back. No cats, 14" MangaFlow muffler in the mid pipe and a Magnaflow Race muffler on each 2.5" exit pipe.
Low end spool is a lot smoother, a little power did shift to the mid range, but it's feels great. A better flowing manifold and head will help a lot. Mid range hit hard and top end keeps on pulling.
