Yeah, one of those Q 'n E's again!

Since i posted in the other thread, the cats out of the bag, so i might as well share this with the rest of y'all.

A lot of you may already know about this "mod", but for those who don't, here are some teaser shots until i can get hold of automotive double-sided tape.

I've always wanted to get the OEM lip, and I know this is the cheap way out, but after having just paid for a new bumper, i'd hate to have to pay for a new lip again should someone decide to run into me again.

Anyhow, for the most part, i think it works well, but the sport bumper tapers lower at the ends so with this in place the sides will look lower.

Edit: Better pics on the next page.







Installation is fairly simple, so no DIY for this.

 

1-i like your rims
2-i like your brakes
3-first home depot lip i've seen on a 2nd gen very nice i know thr was someone asking for this a little while ago.

 

goes really well with the plasti-dipped grill

 

haha looks good!

 

Will the home depot lip lower my 06 sport bumper enough to put on Greddy sides!!??

 

props

 

cool!!

 

Looks great, Mike. And your new bumper is lookin dope as well. I kind of miss the blue band-aid on the old one tho.

 

Thanks guys, i can't take credit for this mod, but whoever originally came up with the idea was a genius!

It's not perfect though, even back when i had the Max, i couldn't find a package where the rubber didn't have any type of imperfection on it. (a fold, or some air pockets probably from not sticking to the mold properly, etc.) The folds or creases should be easy enough to smoothen out with some heat applied to it though.

What i've always wondered is how the darned thing looks when the vehicle is moving. These things aren't sturdy by any means, so i'm wondering if they flap or "fold in" from the wind pushing back on it.

Son, i still have an extra band-aid! Been thinking of placing it somewhere else on the car.

 

Thanks for showing the pics man!

It looks really good on a 2nd gen, i'm going to do this today for everyone. Pics will be up later

 

Looks great.

 

nice job, are you dropped?

 

Thanks guys. Yep, dropped on BC's.

 

Mine didn't flap around when I had it on my OEM. I think I even got some rolling shots of it on the highway.

 

Hmmm, interesting...does it work on "the other" bumper
