New EXTENDED 3.5 msp front lip

[icespeed]

Ok, so those of you that have been reading the florida section already know my sad story about the fact that no one makes an extension for the 3.5 msp lip. For those of you that don't, I decided to make my own fiberglass extension. Well, working 2 hours here, three hours there, it took a little over a month to complete. It took another month to have it painted (thread "what paint is my car?") But finally, after long delay, it is finally on the car.

What does everyone think???????


P.S. That's me!!!!! trying... to .... get... those.... stupid...f$#%@@ foglights to work!!

we attempted a "photoshoot", but I think it was too dark out. anyways, here they are... the third is my absolute favorite picture I have of my car. Good job to Kr33per for helping me put the lip on and take these pics.

sorry man... i know you put alot of work into that bad it looks really bad. Needs to be blended a little more and some sanding.

Yeah, there's three things I noticed (don't know if you can tell from the pics), 1) the silver is a little lighter on the extended lip (I think it has something to do with the white base, instead of the stock lip's black base) 2) the lines are too well defined. Luckily it has to go back to paint, so I'm tossing around the idea of just molding both together to get rid of that line. The third thing is when I made it, I didn't account for space for the double sided tape. That causes a gap, maybe 1mm wide which helps the line stick out more. 2 and 3 would both be taken care of, if I go back and mold the two pieces together.

It looks like a DG Motorsports lip that was smashed into a curb...repeatedly.

DG sells the lip for the 3.5 msp??? I wish I would've known, could have saved me a lot of future bashing!!!!!

I think that it still looks a bit rough. However, with some more work it will look killer.

The third pic in this series is f__kin' sick brother. It is an amazing, amazing picture. It looks like it came straight out of a magazine. Keep up the good work.

ya the dg lip is made for the 03 and 03.5...with the 03.5 just unscrew like 2 screws and the front lip comes off and then the dg fits right on there like a glove.... either have it molded or use the doubled sided tape it comes with

I'm sorry, I was trying to be funny.... I won't do it again.

I don't like the fact that I would have to take of the 3.5 lip in order to put the DG one on. That's the whole reason why I decided to take on this project. That and I really don't like the huge P5/2003 msp fog lights, IMO they're way to big and unproportional to our front ends.

Just keep working on it little by little....

Good Try not my cup of tea, but something that will sprak some intrest hopefully I would love to see some diffrent styles we just need better body kits for these cars something clean and smooth not to "ricer looking" that gives the car more agressive style
