Custom Front Lip

I Bought A Plastic Sliding Door Trim At Home Depot For Six Bucks
Matched The Color At Pepboys For 4 Bucks Mounted And Sealed It
What Do You Think? ALSO CHECK OUT THE CUSTOM GUTTER GAURD GRILL.
I CUT OUT THAT BAR THAT RUN ACROSS AND SPRAYED EVERYTHING FLAT BLACK. YOUR THUOGHTS ON ALL OF THIS!

Congrats on the creativity. I'm iffy on the look of it, but you have a one of a kind looking front max. I like the idea that you have a kit look for about $10.

i screwd it but that way it wont ever fall off... i have hit,scraped on it and it hasent scratched loosend or bent.. screws are painted over and it still looks good in my opinion(alson i sealed around the top of the lip with the strongest caulk you can get. its for marble counter tops

umm i dont like it. looks like a plastic sliding door trim, painted, and drilled to a bumper.

reminds me of the time when i saw a guy trying to make a wing out of wood, and drilling it to the trunk.

but whatever floats your boat.

[QUOTE=MDeezy]Congrats on the creativity.QUOTE]


uhhh... were you not around for the Ludalip incident? the first time this exact thing happened? that thread was almost a dozen pages long, IIRC.

it looks alright. it would have been nice if the screws weren't there. doublesided tape? drill in the fenderwell? good luck with it. a big issue was that it bent and began to sag under the weight. although, that may have been without screws. don't do it around the sides. i don't think it will work. but whatever.

maybe i'll try it for haloween. i'll run around as a big box of uncle ben's and my car will match with all the home depot mods imaginable. including full kit and i'll take out my fogs and put mesh in there, and all three grills.


sorry, just had to be said

I'm shaking behind this inpenetrable protective wall we call the internet. Stop scaring me you big bad internet tough guy you.

Learn to take a joke. For a tough guy, you're quite sensitive and emotionally fragile.
