Ya. I guess it's the lighting as the lip is slighty darker than the factory plastic.

Looks good. Especially for $40.

I'm fine with the textured black, but would like some more input on the trimming! Here's some better shots of the color differences and the side.
Also, I tried to take some pictures for a write-up but the camera died.

You could try plasti-dipping it to see if it matches better and smooths out the texture, and that way if it turns out like **** you can just tear it off.

I, for one, don't think it needs trimming. It looks really good as it is.

so what did you make it out of? and where did you get the material from? I'm on a DIY kick right now and I'm looking to do kinda the same thing.
