07-08 maxima front lip prototyping.

Got Wood??????
Do we need to spay termite repliant on this front lip before painting???
Ha!!!
Looking good so far man!!!

no really it comes pre treated, but I do give you the option to use the stain of your choice
If I tell you I would have to kill you
,........ na its an RS style lip from a 95 civic, but by the time im done with it it'll be completely different. : D
anyways I couldn't work on it yesterday but today I glued the front pieces to the frame, I'll have to wait till tomorrow to take the tape of and start filling in the gaps,

Ok, yesterday I woke up to a big time bobo, Friday night I sprayed the inside of the lip with poly foam and left it so I could start trimming Saturday Morning, well let this be a lesson to all of us, don't ever over do it,


and stay with the part to make sure it doesn't screw up your part,
, the good news is that I was able to take all the foam out and return the lip to its original shape, im working on it today and doing the filling in with a different technique that wont compromise the shape of the thing :P, as always I will keep you guys posted.

get it anyway. i drove a slammed celica with a fully molded body kit for the longest time i couldnt have had more than 2.5"-3"'s and i was fine. i cant say i never scrapped. but i was careful with it.
4"!!!, wow, isn't a normal drop like 2" tops?, are you on coils?, right now im having problems trying to keep the lip under 2.75" anything smaller than that would probably look just like a small strip :P,so if we go by normal numbers, a car with a normal drop and this lip should be driving around about 4.5" - 5"
lol... yea im dropped 0n coilovers... if majority of ppl w/ the 6.5 gens that are dropped 2" on springs have 7" of clearence & im dropped on coilovers w/ 5" on clearence then yea im dropped 4".. it would look SICCCCCCK with the lip i know that for a fact!!! & i know i'd have to drive super careful but not in NY lol.. these roads suck... i have to drive super careful right now w/ the drop i have... maybe later if i move to FL i'd definatly be giving you my money MAX lol.. ima keep following the thread tho to see the progress... your doing great!!! as always -- im supporting MAX2DAMAX!!
guys, there were going to be more pictures posted yesterday but I had camera problem at the meet, the lip is still not at 100% but it has the final shape for the front, the good news is that the height was measured, so basically if you are lowered and you put the lip on you'll be sitting at ~5" off the ground which is pretty good, considering im sitting at 4.5 with the gtr kit, and I can still drive my car anywhere, carefully getting in and out of drive ways of course, and if you are not lowered you'll sit at around 8", depending on you wheels and tire set up. Also the shape of the lip matched perfectly with the shape of the bumper

How is the lip going to bolt on?
Do we have to remove the bottom plastic engine cover? (plastic flap under front end of car)
Do we have to drill into our factory bumper to get that bad boy on???

you wont have to remove that piece as for bolting on the lip, I do believe the safest way is to screw on to the bumper it self using screws, but im still trying to figure out what the best way is, you can't use the stock holes as the pins aren't long enough to go through both the lip the bumper and body of the car, maybe with bolts, we will see.
Ok, guys more pics, I know its taking more time than expected but I have not been able to work on the lip as often as I expected, with what I have done to it right now I should be able to take it in to a body shop so they can just finish it up by smoothing it out, let me know what you think of the lines im shooting for, lets make it clear the line on the side is not final but I do want to have a really subtle line there.








I did search on google as a matter of fact and like isaid before i would always find bigger body kits and nt just a simple lip like the prototype by ezconcepts. and next time unless ur gna help with the question dnt reply.
Thats Not cool!
First time I am even seeing this post. Excellent product and probably worth the wait. I have an 08 SE (OE 18's for now) with the 1.8" drop (front) & .08" (rear) Eibach Pro Sport Spring by itself keeping the original shock assembly. I'd be a little skeptic on putting this on even though I am sure I'd have the clearance. If there is a way to fab the top undercarriage lip to match the holes for that under engine flap someone described, they do make a longer 'plastic push pin' that might be able to hold it in. Just a thought. BTW, how much is this?
