New and Improved Home Depot Lip! Version2. - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Addicted2Kouki · 11-18-2007, 10:36 PM

the big one... actually looks a lil different.

notice the picture thats labeled "under."

the tabs have the weird H hole and a circle hole. The whole tab sticks out farther than the regular diamond loc tabs.

hustlervibes · 11-18-2007, 11:56 PM

Ok, thanks. I'll look out for it.

But if it's not low enough for anyone (maybe it's just me) I'm gonna work on modifying it so that it hangs down farther. Should have pics up next week if anyone is interested.

xtreme_s14 · 11-19-2007, 12:40 AM

i'm still a lil' lost how you made the lip.. you should do a write-up! i could definitely use a replacement for my OEM lip! i use the damn thing as warning as to how much i need to angle my car to clear obstacles! (i.e. - driveways, speedbumps) haha anyways.. VERY NICE!

hustlervibes · 11-19-2007, 02:08 AM

It's really simple. Buy the piece, there are already holes in the diamond lok and use the screws to make holes to mount it in your bumper. it bends easier with heat (used the hot sun today) and that's it.

kouki_kouki · 11-19-2007, 02:12 AM

its funny its my job to stock those at home depot and everytime i see that product i think about ways to make a lip.

Addicted2Kouki · 11-19-2007, 03:11 AM

lol someone posirepped me and said,
"LoL,you are ghetto...... but lip looks ok"

hahaha duh... long beach.
eastside!

Tom Ngan · 11-19-2007, 09:19 PM

Lets see some better pictures, roadkill just owned my Greddy lip this weekend

hustlervibes · 11-19-2007, 09:52 PM

I'll go take pics of the lip I installed over the weekend. Then I'm gonna take it off and modify it to make maybe version 2.5? Anyway I just picked up more diamond lok and grass liner stuff. So we'll see how everything turns out.

Addicted2Kouki · 11-19-2007, 09:59 PM

hrm i wanna see it on a kouki.

i just took mine off the bumper. should buy paint sometime this week.

hopefully ill paint it either this week or next monday.

hustlervibes · 11-19-2007, 11:26 PM

So I was messing around with my idea and it didn't work out all too well. I'm going to keep thinking of other ways to make it hang down lower, but I'll post pics of the diamond lok alone. As soon as I can find the cord for the camera....

hustlervibes · 11-19-2007, 11:58 PM

Here is my car with the diamond lok lip which ISN'T the big one, and this is before I put the 2nd piece on to make it look complete.

UfoZ8myCow · 11-20-2007, 10:37 AM

I love how people on this site get bored and end up doing these little DIY projects like making Home Depot lips, or Scooby Doo dash kits, or that one guy who tried to stuff R32 headlights into his S14 LOL.

I just beat off when I get bored. Thats why god invented free internet porn.

The lip doesnt look all that bad though, and for $12 I cant complain.

94_240sx · 11-20-2007, 11:59 AM

I did some search and found this. It's good stuff and brilliant!

i get it now.. i was under the impression that you were still using the OG home depot garden lip w/ the use of this diamond lok thing! now the issue with this diamond lok is it's too short? why don't you guys use the diamond lok as a guide for the OG garden lip? rivet the OG garden lip onto the diamond lok considering that the garden lip is a lot larger in height! just a thought!

Thats what I'm trying to do. It doesn't seem to want to cooperate so give it until this weekend and I might have something worked out.

Addicted2Kouki · 11-21-2007, 05:19 AM

Buy a premie membership and you can see who.

I like the diamond loc lip. It looks better than my stock one and it would probably last longer. Mine is hanging off on one side right now and it's bugging the shit out of me.

95silvia240sx · 11-21-2007, 12:03 PM

great post looks good +1 rep

hustlervibes · 11-21-2007, 04:13 PM

Addicted2Kouki · 11-21-2007, 05:06 PM

haters.. ehhh fuck em.

I've already stated where I stand on this matter, but as far as the -rep thing goes, its just gay to not leave your name. Too often its used to show off "e-penis power" and not for its intended purpose. Just for that here's some +rep....yeah I kinda just contradicted myself, but if you like you can look at my face to see the genuine concern that I have on it<------sarcasm(sp?)

kandyflip445 · 11-21-2007, 11:48 PM

^I'm lost. lol

Should that have been a PM? lol

Naw man, I was just stating that I hate when ppl leave stupid comments in -rep and don't leave their name. Like I stated above, I would never do this to my car, but its his car, time, and money, and he's free to spend it how he wants. In the same manner, I'm entitled to tell him that its dumb....see how that works?.?.

Gnnr · 11-22-2007, 12:18 AM

I can't really see the "lip" all that well from all these blurry/dark pics....

*Jbma327* · 11-22-2007, 12:21 AM

Wow not bad at all.

exactly. everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

*DreamN* · 11-22-2007, 02:21 AM

Hmm... I'll probably try this for a temp look till I can get either a s13 zenki lip or a Silvia Aero bumper.

hustlervibes · 11-22-2007, 03:04 AM

Sorry for the dark and blurry pics, I'll try to get some better ones soon and some ver 2.5 pics as well...

DreamN saw the lip in person the past 2 days and he can vouge for how good it looks, especially for $10
