just put on my new home depot front lip and my snowsss, o yeah and the eyelids from rcvinyl

also for the lip i didnt just screw in the rubber right into the bumper i used pvc plastic and fabricated it so that there is more support then just a small screw here and there

Looks pretty good. Just what did you use?

 

[Tungsten6]

Garge door sealant..

 

[hat1018]

Interesting.

 

[Tungsten6]

yea its a pretty popular mod and if you take your time with it, it looks pretty damn good

(not my car)

 

[09WhiteBlackAzz]

i may do that i wonder how it would hold up to a little white paint

 

[Tungsten6]

Im glad you made me search painted home depot lip... ive never seen anyone do it.

to me its really not worth it.

to me it looks better unpainted and you will probably go threw like 3 of the lips while you have the car.

and i would think that the paint would crack easily

 

[09WhiteBlackAzz]

probably...might look better black anyways

 

[cclngthr]

Paint won't stick to soft plastic or rubber without the correct additives. There are dyes available, but again, they are not designed to hold up to weather.

yeah i didnt just screw it into my bumper cuz little screws will not hold up against that soft rubbery foam, i took pvc fensing and cut it down to size so that i could bend it i then measured out equally about 14 holes for the front lip to be secured, drilled them, marked the bumper then drilled smaller holes got screws and then just put the door sealer between the pcv and the lower bumper and screwed it on. its better to have a bigger surface holding the sealer on then just a screw.

nice tip, maybe I will give it a shot come springtime

i just used 2 sided sticky tape and mine held strong for 2 years before i took it off to put the accord lip on haha

 

[05maz3subd]

how much did you get that lip for and where? if it was a junk yard ill just go local


also a quick question... how do i fix front camber with the stock struts, do i have to slide the wedge some how?

 

[Chefsp0t]

I'm pretty sure I have seen a few of those year accords at Harry's you pull it in Pennsburg. Their price is $8 for small ground effects and that should fall into that category. I LOVE junk yarding in the summer with my brother.

 

[09WhiteBlackAzz]

bump

 

[Chefsp0t]

You got it!

SNOW! You can barely see it in these pictures. The "big snow storm" just started here so maybe there will be snow pictures later today or tomorrow. Both cars are filthy but 'tis the season.

 

[xMazdax]

Where did you get your window visors? ^

 

[bbrich57]

Those look like AVS, Vent Visor. If so, I got mine from Amazon.com... around $50/set.
