del sol type-r urethane front lip
hey guys
i was looking at this dope lip at jdmcarboy.com and was thinking about ordering one online... i just wanted to make sure that urethane was the good kind of material for a lip... its plastic i want to stay away from right?
they have a couple of del sol lips, but i like the type r best because its the simplest... kind of an exagerated honda lip
http://www.jdmcarboy.com/index...d=210
only 79.99 too, well +45 shipping but im in LA so im just going to pick that bad girl up! urethane good yah?
thanks,
~styol
(p.s. i posted this exact message in automotiveforums but obviously this site gets more hits so i re-posted it here)

a happy customer tells 2 people and an angry customer tells 20
im gonna give them a try and ask them WTF all this non sense i hear about how shady they supposedly are... i talk to the owner on the phone and i definitely didint get the same vibe that people apparently got when they ordered
is it possible that they shaped up and got on top of their ****? or am i still missing something here... please dont tell me that its like a couple posts from 3 years ago or something lol, for all i know its some other shop trying to take away from their business by defaming them

I just bought JDM style 6-8 fogs, Mugen style lip(poly), and an OBD2a to obd1 conversion harness from them today... i hope i have good results... and Poly is WAY better than plastic... its really hard to break... its good if you plan on maybe scraping some speed bumps, I DO

Re: (Jmoto911)
is there anything i can do to prevent scraping? after i put the urethane lip on i was planning on re-painting my entire car including the lip, and i want to prevent future scrapage
i was thinking something along the lines of "skid plates" but after searching for like an hour i found out that skid plates are primarily offered for ATV's and bikes... any other ideas?

Re: (styol)
I had an idead for a steel skid late the riveted into the bumper and was fluted parrallel to the direction the car travels. THe flute would greatly reduce the chance of it folding under.
I thought it was ingenious, just enough to be hidden and prtect the lip/oilpan.

Re: (BackupNyou)
A flute is really a medieval armor making technique to make metal more rigid IE less prone to bend or dent.
It's the lines you see in armor
A buddy's Work
A helmet I made

I make a lot of armor, I haven't really done any non-armor fab work.
I haven't had time lately with work and all.
