Poll: NEW CF Lip

[enigM@]

just wanna hear people's comment

i photochopped this CF lip from a WRX to my Protege5

If a lot of people are interested maybe someone could make if for us after seeing the poll?

I like it for the fact that it's not another Autoexe replica. (thumb)

nice work, looks pretty good(on the car and the p-shop job)

bump

adds some much needed curves to the car, but, what is the point of putting cf on the front of the car where it is going to take the most rock damage. It's not like you can repaint cf

 

[NCMP3]

I like it. Like Nate said its not an autoexe replica. I would like to have it fiberglass or urethane to paint it one color.

what's the point of putting fiberglass on the front of the car? i see people on the boards w/ fiberglass lips and it can snap easier

but to answer you question it's to match cf grills and hoods

hey people do it.. there's a lot of lips out there made of carbon fiber.. it's for show purposes too

would like to have it fiberglass or urethane to paint it one color.

cf is paintable and more durable than fiberglass.. hey, people paint their cf hoods

[Subghetto]

I think it looks phat! But the price to buy it if it ever does come out is what concerns me.

point of having fiberglass is because you have paint over it, so the paint takes the damage, and you can always repaint it. CF is covered in resin, and if the finish ever gets scratched or messed up, there is nothing you can do about it, you can't just repaint it. If you are buying this lip just to paint it, then you should look into just getting a fiberglass one. Most CF pieces are just fiberglass covered in a vanity sheet of carbon fiber that does very little strength wise. Only sandwiched carbon fiber increases structural integrity.

I'm not talking about hitting a curb, cause then you screw up anything you have no matter what.

I'm just saying, Resin, in a repairable way, is like glass. Once you crack or chip it, there is nothing you can do, you just have to replace the entire thing. I'd rather have just a polyurethane lip like that shape, then I can paint it, and it will be repairable if I get any little rock chips, unlike CF

this is all from a daily driver standpoint, if your car is show only, then this lip is great, sure.

word. thats why i changed my mind on the autoexe front lip replica.
