The lip thread...
Out of all other things ive notcied there is only a small selection when it comes to lips for a maxima. Well today while i was at the junkyard i was wondering if any other lip would fit my maxima. I ended up purchasing a integra da front lip for a dollar, and to my surprise fits pretty good. Its wider than the 97 style maxima bumper but with some stretching out it fits nice. I will have pictures up soon camera sucks/broken. If you know of any other lips that would fit a maxima post them here, and pics would be nice if possible.

I think that when looking at 'Non-Maxima' lips to fit our cars we need a measurement of 'overall length' from wheel opening, around front, to wheel opening. Then when at a salvage yard a simple measurement could be made to know if a particular cars lip is going to reach all the way around.

Oh! This is irrelevant but I noticed that the shape of the 97 Altima's fog lights are very similar to the shape of my Maxima which is also a 97.
But yeah just throwing that out there!

Appreciated. And what im trying to portray with my car is something different even maxima.org people havent seen. Im trying to be one of a kind instead of following the crowd. But anyways yeah the lip does not fit completly but the reason for the thread was to help find other lips that fit our cars instead of paying 100+ for an aftermarket one. I tryed the da one and im going to complete it if anyone else is up post what you find fits on this thread.

Ok, I'm still thinking on this .. what if you cut the ends to a angle up to the car - so it wouldn't just jut down from some 'random' place in front of the tire, but rather smoothly become the lip for the front of the car?

i actually think it looks great from the front. i'm very impressed. its just a problem from the side. hopefully your home depot run can make it a little smoother of a transition at the ends. and unless your close you cant even really see the screw so i dont see it as a huge problem unless your inspecting it

+1 for angling up to the car, if possible. cuz it might be pretty hard to blend with the new home depot lip. and my friend kiyo had a 94 toyota corolla and did the whole lip home depot style and it turned out nice. like really nice. he faded it up tho i think.. haha. but seriously tho.. looks decent.. oh and if u were lookin 4 new fogs, look at these. Theyre a lil pricey but u can probly find them cheaper somewhere else.

Damn why is everyone hating on my fogs starting to **** me off. Idc what others think dont judge from a couple pics they look nice in person....god. And no im dude not looking for stock fogs i choose the s14 ones for a reason. But anyways thanks to those who acutally said good things about lip again ill keep yall posted once im done.

The front is bolted on underneath, because it was an oem lip it has mounting points. So i used those, and the side screw is pulling the lip back to mold to the 4th gen bumper the da is wider than the maxima believe it or not. The lip is a hard rubber so it will bend and stretch.

Thanks and theres no way tape will hold this lip on. Anyone who attempts it will soon figure out why that screw is there. Its not a halfa** lazy way of putting my lip on. There is nothing, and trust me nothing else that will get the lip to curve to the form of the maxima bumper. 3m tape didnt even work on my home depot lip it kept falling off. Imo tape should not be used on any car.
