Never really liked the Stillen lip for 97-99s bc the design stuck out too much and didnt look like it belonged on our cars. I always figured that a japanese vip style lip like this would look better on our cars



So a trip to home depot, $3, some double-sided tape and some screws later I have a lip Got the idea from some drifter 240s and rx7s at my school and im not complaining. It wont ever break, I dont have to worry about scraping it and it looks damn good for $3. All of my friends couldnt believe how good it looked and how cheap it was..




call it all you want...im happy with it =)

 

cr*ppy pic but you can see how low the front of my car is to the ground with this pic

 

It would probably look better if it was painted. But props on the creativity.

 

yea but then i would have to worry about scraping, etc. Besides plenty of cars come with flat black front lips (skyline gt-r, 240sx, etc.)

 

wat did u make the lip out of? i like how it looks.

 

sorry dont know what its called...its in the flooring department on rolls and you have to call the guy to cut how much of it you want.

 

What material did you make the lip from, Luda? I think it looks pretty clean.

 

hey that's pretty innovative. im glad this guy is on the .org

 

that looks super sick, if its under 50 bux (painted i hope) id get that as a temp lip untill i get a "M" bumper. that looks very clean luda. i give you props. do you think some sides could be added? that would be sick. who needs stillen when you can have home depot kit lol. luda if you come up with some nice sides and a write up you will be one of the few people left that brings forth creative s#it for us Org'ers.

 

looks really nice... i like

 

wow !!nice, very unique.u gotta 2 bring ur car 2 the bbq meet on the 12th i wanna check out the lip in person

kev

 

wth is the lip? plastic?

 

thats ghettofabulous. :O it looks alright in the pics, but i wonder how it looks in person... if it looks good, props to you!

ps, you should meet up with this guy and form a club or something.
heh jokes man.

 

I LIKEEEEEEEEE I LIKEEEEE!.....Always wanted a lip but never had the $250 for a Stillen one. MY NEXT MOD AND I'M DOING IT TOMMOROW AFTER SCHOOL!! Can't wait! (I would do it tonight but too dark outside, hehe).....Can you please find out what that stuff is called, is it like wall molding (trim)or something?

 

Is it that wall boundary stuff? Like youd see at a school? Very bottom of a wall glued to it?

Looks sweet

 

I am so doing this tomorrow.

 

Thanks a lot guys...

Well it was like $3.50 out the door for my "lip" and it only took like 20 min of fitting and installing. I think if you use this stuff for the sides or rear that would look really ghetto. The front you can pull off without looking ghetto bc there are a bunch of these style lips out on the market. I'll be saving for stillen sides and rears.

 

Damn your car looks sick as usual in ur sig...ill try to make it out to that meet

 

I wonder how it would look on a '96 bumper. Hmmm...

 

Looks good... I like!

 

oh btw those orange corners are hella hot~!!!

 

Yeah...real flexible plastic.

yeah it is pretty ghetto but it looks a lot better than that lol...it looks good in person imo and several of my friends.

hahaha i have no idea what its called but its real easy to find. Just go to the carpeting section and look through the aisles for rolls of plastic moulding. They come in different colors..

yeah I'm pretty sure it is.

 

socal style baby!

ahh rpm said itd be like 150-200$ to get my seat brackets made...do you know any place that might give a cheaper price?

 

looks good for $3 and thumbs up on beeing creative
See if you could "mold" it just a bit more - around fogs etc....
some "custom" dremel action might make look even better.

 

did you talk to frank? or did you just call rpm?

 

How you guys think it would look on a dark green max? Can we even paint that material?

 

nice going luda. What going to happen to the rest of the car? Thinking about doing a full body kit?

 

yea he told me he had no time and he lost the brackets...he told me to call rpm and thats the price. damn the brackets are gonna cost waaaaaaaaay over how much I spent on teh seat itself

 

Can I have a lil write-up? I'll maybe try it off for a few bucks. You said you need some screws...does that mean you made holes in the bumper to put this thing on?

 

Not sure of how THIS is gonna look on a green max but this is a pic of a flat black lip on a green 240sx..



You can probably paint it...its plastic.

 

wow i must admit that do look really good especially for the amount of money you paid for it. it would look alot better if you painted it though

 

yeah definetly dude...my main problem with the way the car looks has always been that the rear and sides look naked. The front always looked good to me...but it only costed $3 so i just tried it

 

I thought about it a bit and there must be a way to make the bottom part be further the the upper part no? What I mean is making the "lip" look like the one in the top of the first page, making it look even more like if it's a lip or maybe would that make it too noticeable maybe?

 

If someone calls this clean, someone else should put a pad lock on this site. Yes, you do get the credit for creativity thou. Not too shabby if your very short on the cashflow.

 

i learned from when i painted my wheels and got tons of pms...i made a write-up in the how-tos

 

My definition of clean is subtlety...if this isn't subtle I don't know what is. Part of my influence was the way the Integra Type-R lip looks like it was part of the car originally...I wanted a lip that would do the same for the Max but no one has come out with one yet. But yea its real ghetto...im a jobless college student what can i say?

 

hmmm...i know that if you mount the lip higher onto the little ledge that is in the lower bumper airdam then the lip tilts out like the lip on the 1st page. Dont drill into your bumper unless your sure you like how it looks...

 

Very interesting mod..since I'm a bit short on cash but always want to make the car look better

 

I just wanna know how much the guy who owns the Nissan Pulsar on pg.1 paid for his kit???

 

you're a salvage...looks excellent
