It just so happens there is a body seam/pinch weld just above the new panel. I have the new panel butted right up against it. It does exactly what you image, kinda breaks the long nose. I think now that it is test fitted, I like the no more holes plan. I will paint the new piece dove blue same as the rest and then paint the splitter (the horizontal lip at the bottom) to match the wheels ( so it looks like a seperate carbon piece
).
