hey i was just wondering have any of you ever tried putting a thin piece of sheet metal on the bottom of your carbon or abs lips..the only reason i ask is cause i'm scraping the hell out of my carbon lip and i raised the **** out of it...but the hight looks really nasty..looks like i'm 4x4 and ****, so i was thinking about putting a thin piece of sheet metal on the parts that hit the most and dropping it back down...it's a ej coupe by the way...so wat do u think?

 

not a bad idea and I don't see why it wouldn't work.

 

yeah i'm thinking the same thing

 

yeah, sounds like a good idea

 

i think it should work.
btw, how do u plan to fit the sheet metal under the cf lip?

well i was thinking putting some screws but then i thought i dont want too many screws going into the lip...then i also have this glue it's way stronger than crazy glue so i was thinking about using that

 

Give us some pics when you're done. Might be something a lot of us would be interested in.

thanks

 

you've just opened a whole new chapter on saving car parts from scraping... props

 

 

going to go get some sheet metal today...wish me luck..i'll let u guys know how it turns out

 

The only problem is, when you scrape hard, instead of a small portion of the lip cracking or giving way, with a metal plate underneath, the entire lip will push upward, against the bumper, which in turn will push up into the hood headlights corners (if it's a scrape on either side), causing possibly worse damage.
Maybe if you could cut the metal into 3 sections, one for each side, and one in the middle, with a .5-1in gap in between each plate to allow room for it to give.

 

double sided tape..itll prolly hold it ..
