Spec B Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 ^^ You think the "lip" could be painted without the paint cracking? I guess it would have to be painted after it is installed tho.. do you have any pics from behind the front wheel..I am curious how the ends look from behind. Thanks again..

You would have to paint it with custom mixed paint that has "flex additive" that would allow it to flex a little without cracking off If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfxdave99 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I think it looks pretty good.. the funniest part was Quote: Originally Posted by lilneel12 so you installed it for $8, but you didn't get the lip for that much http://www.clubwrx.net/ubb/rolleyes.gif dude..that IS the lip http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/images/smilies/rotfl.gif If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfxdave99 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 do they sell that in a spray can form?? depends do you want it just to be darker? http://www.superiorcarcare.net/w8930190.html Or something that is designed for vinyl.. But if you use plain off the shelf spraypaint it will crack for sure If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yebbey Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 ok, I'm not sure if someone said this alraedy....and I also am not sure I remember what the bottom of the bumper looks like....but it seems like it goes up in the middle part. I think the lip would look better if it didn't follow the bumper going up and jsut stayed straight. I don't know...that's what I think when I look at the pic. I'm hoping someone makes it look a little better, so then I can go out do it myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdisco Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I scraped my chin pulling out of someone's driveway a couple of weeks ago and was looking at spliters. But $350 - $650 to rip off on curbs or parking lot stops was too much. This is looking just about right and would cover the scars already in place. Nice work. Also had a new driveway put in ths summer (from stone to blacktop) and garage doors need new seals now. So now I just get three instead of two. Great idea thanks for the post.

abakja1 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 ok,..raise your hands if you have did this mod and post more pictures of your install..Im sure in Hawaii, the same door moulding will cost $18 due to shipping/markup,.. Anyways,..before I step up and get ghetto on my car,..I would like to see more pics especially from underneath and how you cut it to length just for my curiousity,... $18 is a great savings compared to $250+ if its going to get munched by speedbumps/parking curbs/driveways,.. thanks!!! abakja1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abakja1 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Well as expected,..the same material was like $18 at Lowe's and a little cheaper at $15 at Home depot,.. At first, I wasnt sure how to mount it, then when I got to looking at the pictures,..I figured how far out the material was supposed to stick out,..I ended up using 3M adhesive and some screws to hold it it place,.. Overall Im satisfied even if it wont function as a front splitter,..it will protect the underside of my front bumper from high parking space bumps and low drive ways,...
