ABS Rear Lip Fitment *PICS*

I got my abs rear lip installed the other week and finally got some pics to shown the fitment. The pics aren't that great...camera must have been on a weird setting....especially for the full rear shot. Here they are......

Yeah, the lip is straight and the wheelwell curves. I saved $158 though. Good enough for me.

Yup I saved $158 my self by purchasing the same kind of lip. Good for me!!!
And yes on those pics the lip looks the same as the Stillen, and if you wouldn't tell me that it's not Stillen, I wouldn't believe you. That's how similar it looks. Awsome.

Couple things. How do you have yours attached in the rear? Just the two way tape? I have been hearing that the tape might not hold it that long. One local mentioned
"epoxy'n it" to the rear bumper, which then it would never come off. Also, did you get the whole rear bumper painted or just the lip?
Lastly, that lip looks like where the 3 slits are in the back that they are just straight open. On the Stillen one they have material back about 3-4 inches so you can't see through the slits. Does it look like the slits are open in person?

Hey Eric I bought the same kind of rear lip, and it looks just like Stillen, only made of a different material. Those slots are not just open they are the same 3-4 inches inside. Well I need to put mine on now.

I ordered mine from www.tomato-racing.com I paid $150 shipped.

Concerning the front fitment, you will need to drememl a little but other than that it fits nice and tight.

you'll have to email... no phone number. Also email them first to make sure they have it in stock... every other distributor of ABS Dynamics ran out of the front and rear lips.

for people that order the front and/or rear lips from tomato-racing, are they as good as ones from absdynamics? the ones from tomato are they also made from plastic? i'm thinking of ordering both front and rear lips myself...

They are distributors from absdynamics. You have to be a dealer to buy from the absdynamics site unfortunately.

So you had them painted and installed them yourself?

If so, did you use self-tapping screws into your lip & bumper or did you drill holes in the lip & bumper and used bolts, nuts and washers?

i wonder if the rear slots would crack easy? There are stupid people out there nowadays that likes to ruin people's car. I'm thinking about this kit versus the stillen urethane kit. These actually look good with the OEM side sills that comes w/ the 5.5 genners.

I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago and received the rear lip last week. I had a Nissan body shop paint it and will put it on the car this weekend. I had no problems with the company.
