Imma do this on mines
I will post pics when I'm done.
It also protects my bumper from getting scratch, extra cushion is always cool!
haha-

K, I finished it took me like 10 mins, this lip is for those who are IN A BUDGET LIKE ME
I'm not baller enough to get those 500 dollars ones such as Vertex.

I did the HD lip on my zenki s14, then I got into a wreck after that, even though the front end was smashed up, the HD lip made it through it.



Yeah if you do decide to do it, go ahead and use the five dollar 3m double stick tape

Thanks guys!!
My friend also like it much, and he wanted it on his g35 coupe, so i stuck one on his G -lol-
I drove it on the freeway at high speed speed to test for any sign if weakness for adhesion, everything is hella cool. I also made small 5 plates to hold it just incase.
I will post pics soon for day shot.

By the way, I'm doing this custom lip. I was thinking about going with the sc400 lip, and extending it so that it fits my 97 bumper. Come to think of it, I think this so-called home depot lip looks way better. Also, what is this called?

That's right huh? At first I thought that was a JIC front bumper. Also, black is so hard to see in the dark.

^ yes it is hard to tell with night shots. I demand day time shots..!! I think I'm gonna do this mod for now at least until I am able to get the kit I want. Did you use any 3m double stick tape or did you just use the screws and brackets? Could you also post some pics of the under side as well? Thanks..!!
