Okay So Thanks To roggeezy for bringing this into the picture:

This is a cheap alternative to a lip kit that could provide protection for your front bumper...and hey...it doesnt look that bad at all.

What You Need:
1. Garage Deal Bottom Seal From Home Depot
2. 3m double sided tape
3. Scissors or a Razor
4. Your Car

Its Pretty Self Explanatory.... Cut The Seal To The Length You Would Like Stick on some 3m Tape And Put It On Your Bumper







on roggeezy's car:


Just thought id make a write up in case other people would like to try this out.... i may give it a shot when i get my car back from the shop... let me know what you think about it.

 

awesome thread.

exactly what i was looking for. thank you.

 

everytime i see a cheap lip kit i always know its HD lip...and everytime i see it...it looks cheesy...but dang...this looks good

like to see this on a 5th gen

 

hey good job man

 

Not bad! I'd like to see it on a black car.

 

yea it cant go all the way across the 4th gen lip because its not even but id like to see it on stillen kit and also on other generations

 

dang man! actually looks pretty good. very creative!

does it stay on if you go pretty fast down the freeway?

 

yes its very durable.... it hold up through snow...

 

great job, might have to try this myself.

 

Sometimes the cool little things are the more simplistic. Nice.

 

def will try in soon =)

 

maybe this should be moved to general maxima disscusion by a moderator so everyone could see this

 

Maybe i'll will try this on my Stillen kit...

 

too bad the 4th gens arent flat across the bottom!

 

How about you give me your stillen kit, and then do this mod. I see this as win win....for me.

 

you arent the first person to do this.....

 

First person to post it on maxima.org?

 

nope

 

oh damn! thanks for reminding me!

i have to stop by lowes and pick some up for the bottom of my front door!

 

thread = epic fail?

 

what was that one were they took the plastic flowerbed walls and made the lip out of that

that was dumb too

 

fixed

 

i gave it a shot...i mean i think its a nice little cheap mod...but hey thats just my opinion!

 

found it

they call it a "luda lip"

 

that looks better than most who do that kind of lip..they use rivets and all kinds of nasty fastening apparatus

 

I guess I don't see the problem with it. Looks good to me. Rubber sturdier than foam. 3M pretty sticky but I have a tough time thinking it's gonna stay on there. You had it the snow? How long have you had it on the car?

 

heres more detail on it

that actually looks really good. i might do this myself.
how much was that guard stuff anyways?

 

The luda lip, to me anyways looks completely different than what this guy did. Might be the same product used, but not the same effect. I agree with the luda lip not looking good, but this ones different

 

Man that looks really neat, I wonder what it would look like on a 5th gen?

 

lets test it out it really cant hurt

 

LOL at "your car" as being one of the things you 'need' to do this mod!

Home Depot Motorsports, what will they think of next?

That G actually looks pretty decent.

 

Just got back from Rona, they didnt have it and had no idea what I was talking about. Well looks like tommorrow I gotta hit up Home Depot on the other side of the city, but itll all be worth it.

 

yea on the g site alot of the users use them.....and im young and stupid so i figured i try a little joke in the what u need section

 

btw it comes with nails (see packing) if u didnt wanna buy the 3m double sided tape

=p

 

I was bored one day, and I decided to try it out since I dont have the money to shell out on a lip kit. To me it didnt turn out too bad, it looked alot better than just having the sharp cut-off of the stock 4th gen front bumper. I'll admit, it doesnt really serve my car (or rather ex-car) any purpose, but to some lowered cars or cars with low ground clearance because of their kits, then it would protect the their bumpers/kits around the edges. The material is very durable, and the 3m double sided automotive adhesive holds like no other. I know this is a public forum and everyone is entitled to your own opinions, but yall dont have to be such sarcastic a55holes about it.

 

Ludalip....I wish I never did it.

 

lol dont hate on the e thugs man

 

omg its on ur car i never noticed that

 

from 2004 :meanwhile i'm working on my 97+ convertion i wanna add a lip to make it stand out more. originally i was gonna go with stillen lip and just get it painted... but ionic CF lip looks nice too, plus i don't need to paint it, and CF lip will match with my car body color really well. (IMO). then lately ludacris has his "luda lip" (aka home depot lip)... it's cheap but IMO it looks pretty good...
so which lip should i purchase?
