Not feelin' the HD lip on the 2nd Gen Sedan at all. I think it only works on flat bumpers, like the Coupe Nismo bumper. It doesn't work with the curvy lines of the 2nd Gen Sedan IMO. If you like it though, rock it!

I am still not 100% sure about it. But it looks nice, but knowing that is garage door stuff makes it not nice.

sorry but the HD lip is a big NO NO. Looks tacky. Save that ish for the hondas. You drive an infiniti. Put a legit lip on or nothing.

I think it looks 2x as good as stock, and 10x better then the chin.. but thats just me. Im not really a fan of aftermarket lips on any cars.

Got bored and was in homedepot, and they did not sell the right one any how.

I think people are finding these in the north. Not going to run it if anyone is wondering lol just looking.

I think your being a little harsh! haha. Alot a guys with 1st gens (sedans/coupes) have done this for years!

You may not like it and thats your right, however saying you drive a Infiniti and it doesn't belong, thats going a little far I think. Thats just like saying you drive a Infiniti so nothing but Work/Volks/Forged should be on all our cars, but in all actuality most guys on this form are running lower end wheels and they look great!


I think it looks great by the way!! especially for $20 haha

and theres nothing wrong with hondas hahaha

I like it, adds to the sporty appeal.

thescreensavers, they're available in the Houston area

I hit a chunk of dried up clay on a country road yesterday - the lip actually stayed intact and protected the bottom-side of the bumper. The sound and feel of the impact freaked me out.

As for the infiniti/tacky/honda comment, to each his own. Back in the day, there used to be lips that look exactly like this but made with Poly or FG -- people bought it for $$$. I'll bet if this same HD lip was stiffer, rebranded and sold for the same amount, people wouldn't mind it. But just because it's $15 and sold as a garage door weatherstrip, people think otherwise. This is America, manufacturers will charge more for any item that people will buy, regardless of how much it costs them to produce it.

IMHO, it doesn't matter what kind of car it goes in. At the end of the day it's about personal preference, much like every other mod done to a vehicle.
