Vodka,

Will you post up a few good shots of your car with that lip on it. I am trying to decide if I want to try this or not.

Thanks!
Tim

Vodka, What about the holes in the front bumper where the lip was?

That has to look terrible. :/

Do you really think I'd leave them unfilled?

Front bumper goes in for repaint on Monday.

Wow that is going to sit low. I don't know if I am going to try it or not. I wonder if I could find one around here to try on for size.

Not as low as you think- it wraps around your existing bumper- it'll probably be .5-.75" lower than you are now.

I scrape on some driveways as it is now. I need to look a little more and see what I think. Maybe Chad will ship me one to look at and let me return it if I'm not happy.

I also need to talk to my friend who has the body shop and see what it would cost to mold it onto my Nismo bumper and re paint the whole thing.

I'm not sure how much different it would look...?

TTrank, i dont think it will look too different because we already have the integrated lip. I think the sides will just flare out just a tad bit more. too bad they dont have my color for 05-06 anyway. desert platinum makes me feel so special My GF scraped my nismo front on a curb already, and it is on the lower side lip so its not really noticeable until you bend down to the ground. nontheless she is now banned from driving this car until further notice lol. I wish you would've taken pix of the nismo with the 05+ lip vodka, I'm interested to see how it will look

It would be a very good idea to install it the same way with drilling holes. You could use the 3M automotive double sided tape but I would not trust it for this.

I am pretty sure it comes painted like the aero kit does. I was just waiting for a confirmation.

Vodka, you're not my friend anymore.

Regardless, I think the lip would look quite nice on cheryl's sport bumper.

Oh, off topic, but I stopped by a shop that does vynil last week to get an idea on a black overlay for the roof. They wanted over $200. Booo.
