home depot lip? - Page 3

Yeah... I would be embarrassed to have it.

Don't do it man. Either buy an oem/authentic lip or don't put one on your car at all. Think about this scenario.

"Hey man is that the WiseSports front lip?"

"Nah bro, it's a HomeDepot front lip."

LOL

Well, if you could get the material at Home Depot to make a lip that fits perfect w/out any gaps, and is durable, as well as aesthetically nice looking. I don't see a problem with it. People will ask, "where'd you get that lip", you can then say "I made it myself". That's pretty impressive and that's essentially what tuning is all about.

i dont think it looks all that bad...mabey if it didnt hang so low...match the dimensions of the oem lip with the home depot material and i think it would look ok...i may give it a shot this weekend on my 92..

haha wow im sorry i started all this commotion but my bumper is unpainted at the moment but it doesnt hurt to see how it looks right? its a cheap mod and maybe it wont look that bad. i know the clean look and everything but as a college student money is tight! but ill keep you guys updated if i dont like it i can always take it off haha im only gonna use a double sided tape try to test fit it, see how it looks take some pics and let the pic be the judge. i have been lookign for a wisesport lip however but those are so rare

wish me luck!

No this is not bad at all. I just might pick this up tonight to see how it looks with a 92 bumper. If it looks bad, then i'm out of, what, $15...who cares.

well im glad there is some support! imma try to make it like the g35 i dont want too much lip just something subtle that you can notice. imma work on it today since i have nothing better to do till summer school but lets try to get some pics up for this! thanks for the support i know its not high end stuff but eh you gotta do what you gotta do to get by right?

balutsc300 · 06-10-08, 11:12 AM

i think tire shine might work and i have some lying around well see how it goes!

that g35 (garage sealer) one doesn't look bad at all,

the garden one with the rivets or whatever, definetly looks a little ghetto for a clean street car, i don't have a problem seeing it on a track car though..

balutsc300 · 06-09-08, 11:38 PM

i was thinking of cutting it to give more clearance and make it close to the 93 lip as much as possible! well see how it goes

That one on the G35 actually looks pretty cool.
I personally don't see what's wrong with making your own parts as long as they are done well. One of my friends who drives a Tacoma showed me a thread on his forum where a guy made his own light bar for the front of his truck with piping he bought from Home Depot. It looks very nicely done and positively adds to the look of the truck.

I dunno wtf u guys are talking about but that looks pretty decent to me....I bet you if i didnt tell you it was a Gardening product from home depot, and that it was some big name company, you guys would be all over it. Just cause its not some big name company and doesn't cost an arm and a leg, doesnt mean it cant look good. This is not the first time ive seen this mod before as they have been doing this on maxima.org for like 10 years now....
