07-08 6.5 Front Lip.
The main thing is where is he? If he can come here and say he needs the lip this week or next, would be nice he provides his email, we paypal $10 each, then make a list on here as each make a deposit and when the amount we need has been met, we ask him to mae the purchase.
Any better ideas?
Where is Cali? Would be nice for him to come say something. I think he is the one that needs the lip.

Sorry guys let me sum it up for you in a time line to make it easier:
NOV 11- I start commuting to San Francisco M-F, Lip location Angry panda, still been worked on.
DEC-Lip is finished; I end up dropping off the “finished lip” at Growit3D, to get a quote for a polyurethane lip,
DEC-FEB- Discussion back and forward between Growit and me, about material selection and mold construction, I was told they had to some research to come up with the best material for the application, again all this cause I wanted a quality part and not a cheap looking polyurethane lip, since just because its urethane means that is better than other materials, (all this time I was basing my budget on a pre quote I got from them at SEMA, by Mid Jan price had gone up on the mold to twice of that from the original quote, but I was still pushing forward with them, again I was told to wait for them to do some more research, by Mid Feb and a couple days before we sealed the deal the price for the mold was 5 times more, and each part was triple the cost of the original quote, so that Idea was scrapped.
Feb 20,- I tried to pick up the lip from them this weekend to move the prototype back to angry panda to fix the gap problem some of you guys pointed out, I kept trying but could not get together with the guy that took the lip to his house as Growit is no open on the weekends, but could not get a hold of him for some reason.
Feb 25- I finally come back home to stay, and don’t go back to San Francisco, but I had schedule a vacation with my wife a month before, (I was supposed to come back home Feb 14th giving me more time to take care of the lip)
Feb 26- My wife and I drive down to Mexico and don’t come back until March 9th,
March 10- I pick up the lip from growit, and try to get a hold of angry panda, left a message but no one answers.
March 12 I get a chance to drive up to angry and they are closed for good, they kept my 07 front bumper and my 04 bumper, which I was using to make a hybrid bumper for 04-06 maximas and to assure good fit and finish on the lip,
Today, I’m waiting on a new front bumper to finish the lip’s upper part to make sure it sits closer to the bumper. and talking to another shop to finish the job, for the lip and the hybrid bumper.
I have been out of the org for a while, but thankfully I got friends who are pretty active around here and they got a hold of me via cell.
It has been rough and slow but I can assure you that I will not abandon all the guys how put their trust on me.
by the way this is the gap im talking about.

Yeah Im still going the Cali way. I don't like this lip and it sits under the bumper which wont work for me. If I was to get this lip, I would have to get side skirts and I don't want to do that. I think the Altima lip looks better anyway.
Well good, the ones that want the old lip then go to that thread. This thread is for a different lip. I don't want people confused. This thread is for the Altima or Mugen lip.
He hasn't been on the other forum either. My guess is that he went on vacation. He would have got in touch with me by now. As soon as I get a hold of him though, I will have him come back over here.
So is this the finished product or what, cause Sarona says its their kit.

They break the kit down and the lip is the most expensive piece. Say here they want $600 bucks

hey sorry i've been MIA just taking care of other things i need to finish....i dont naturally tend to come on here either so i apologize for not being on here more.
so where do we stand on this? have you guys come to an agreement on the design?

So what happened to people getting him the bumper to get this going. Did everybody bail. He shouldnt have to get bumper himself to do this. We are asking a favor so we need to pitch in and get a bumper for him so we can have this lip done. IMO.
Since he has not mentioned it, I can say he has not been reading the thread. But if he can read the thread he will see that some of us are willing to buy the bumper for him. I still have my $10 ready to contribute. I mean, I know giving up $10 is not going to make me go broke. Atleast, I know I am contributing for a cause that hopefully will yeild some good results.
Here is my $10. Waiting to be put towards this lip. Can he say something about this route? Or is he going to the junk yard first and if he cannot find it, then ask us to chip in? Cali, say something.
You are right. But guess what? I would think he has been reading the thread too. And if he had been reading the thread, he would have seen that we have talked time and again about buying this bumper and giving it to him. So, I don't understand why he is not mentioning the fact that people have talked and called his name on this thread asking him to come and say something about getting this bumper we wish to buy.

I know this guy and I brought him here for this favor so everyone need stop and chill with all these demands. If he gets the bumper, will just pay him what he paid for it. It's not like he is buying this out of his pocket. He's a nice and honest guy, lets not get all pushy and acting a fool, you know who you are. I care less, I can get the lip and make it for myself. I just talked to him to do this for everyone else here since he can mass produce a lot fastser then I could. This guy does great work, better the VIS or any companies out there. Even better then the other lip. I've see what he does. All I've seen so far is a lot of talk, some want it some dont. I'll give this a week to see where it's going and after that Im going to just do my own thing.
