    thats a damn nice looking front bumper! the 'lip' is simply the top of another OEM bumper that was hacked off and reattached. pretty sweet IMO. It looks even better in real life.

    I think you do

    Besides, just consider it protection for the bottom of the Xenon Kit :cool2:

    yes he is right. it does look much better in person, and now that I have a clean bumper and a clean lip it looks 10X better. and for anybody wondering I have not trimmed the ends off to butt up with the bumper. that is why its hanging out towards the back of the bumper.


    for my next picture, I will show off the new Brembo slotted rotors. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Nice, Mario, nice. Keep it up, man. I've always liked your taste...well, except for the cut springs when you first joined 3geez, but that's another story.

    it takes great speed shots though! hahaha. as for making those lips I suppose I could. its just hard to find a decent junk yard bumper. i looked for a couple months for mine and I still had to clean it up a bit.

    I just got the rear bumper today and put it back on. its looks so sexy! I will probably work on the rear lip tonight and take pictures and have them up tomorrow!

    Im a little disappointed with the cowl because the damn carb box hits the underside of the hood and it stress cracked some bondo. ERRR anyway so Im kinda looking for a CF hood now? anybody got one or know where I could get one ??

    thanks for the comments

    hahaha.

    thanks Caleb. sorry the picture is horrible, but right now all I have is my camera phone because my digital camera and card reader arent working. none the less.

    the lip is off an 88 rear bumper. it is the bottom trim piece cut, flipped upside down, bolted back to the stock bumper using stock bolts and a few drilled holes, then cut and trimmed for dual exhaust. (later on) Hopefully better pictures will be coming soon!!!

    Damn dude I was actually thinking of doing the exact same thing today!!! I was like hmm how would that look if I cut the bottom piece off the back bumper and flipped it up side down. I think that looks better than the lip I was going to put on the rear bumper. Thanks for confirming my idea I had today. Too bad I wasn't the first to think of it. Great minds think a like! It's just mines a little slower since I am constantly around brake cleaner and crap like that everyday.
