New and Improved Home Depot Lip! Version2. - Page 3 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*DreamN* · 11-22-2007, 03:51 AM

yeah, it looks pretty sweet. the price just makes it better. it's a cheap mod to pass some time on doing and improve the looks to one's car as a temporary solution.

Addicted2Kouki · 11-22-2007, 01:00 PM

exactly why i made it.

im glad you are appreciating it.

hustlervibes · 11-22-2007, 02:40 PM

As a temporary lip it's amazingly awesome. Just what a temporary lip should be... cheap, easy, replaceable, and look decently good. A couple people said "that's a home depot lip?!" haha I love that reaction.

sidewayz240 · 11-22-2007, 05:23 PM

somebody do it on an S13, I wanna see if it works on a chuki bumper. Maybe i'll go give it a try.

Looks awsome for a $15 lip.

projectb13 · 11-23-2007, 07:51 PM

i like it looks better than those rivet or bolt on ones!!!!

BillyTheChamp · 11-26-2007, 12:15 AM

nice thanks for contributing.

+1 rep for you

*DreamN* · 11-27-2007, 04:31 AM

I'll be going to Home Depot tomorrow and will be on the search for this stuff. Diamond Loc 8 ft. piece right? Curious, what size screws are you guys using?

MangoDorifto · 11-27-2007, 11:05 AM

yeah, look for the longer diamond-lok of the two. the home depot we went to only had the short one. I used #8 3/4" self tapping sheet metal screws that I also found at home depot. Eat your wheaties tomorrow cause using hand tools to screw it on was no fun at all!

yeah the home depot by me only had the 6ft one.. did yours still go all the way around the front bumper or did you have to use 2? any side shots?

bam698795 · 11-27-2007, 07:03 PM

nope, it didn't go all the way around and I only bought one... side shot looks terrible, not worth posting.

*deolio* · 11-29-2007, 12:34 AM

powersteeringless180sx · 11-30-2007, 02:46 AM

haha that doesn't look half bad. +1 for the effort.

It's an $8 strip of garden edging. Do you really need to find it online to make your decision? =P

haha.. well i already made my decsion.. i would buy it if they had the longer one.. short one is not worth it..

*DaPCWiz* · 11-30-2007, 09:40 AM

hmmm I may try this on my S13

carparthookup · 11-30-2007, 09:52 AM

best ive seen is Kdashy's V3.0 HD lip on kouki. You should ask him for a pic.

Im still on V1.0 very weak sauce, but the ones you guys have looks great. But too short IMO...would be dope if you can extend it more.

Addicted2Kouki · 12-13-2007, 12:38 AM

I'm resurrecting this thread because I FINALLY painted my bumper.

I gotta pick it up tomorrow because i painted it then left it in the booth.
So pictures tomorrow morning, .......on the car!

And yeah ill hit up Kdashy and ask him about his lip soon.

Addicted2Kouki · 12-13-2007, 01:59 PM

Finally some pics.

Too bad the lighting was the best. but it was all i could do with this cheap digital camera.

Installed after paint w/ turn signals, sidemarkers.

On car.

And another one.

Closeups.

Yeah, it is a lil short. I may extend it by adding something to the bottom.
But still clean, simple, and subtle.

If anyone would like to see it in person, I'll be at the Autobacs/Pipeline Pizza Thursday Nite Meet tonite.
