i saw her eon honda tech sme guys had he home made from a garden gutter of something a lip ...it acutally look nie any one has pics of than

 

lol don't do it

ghetto and doesn't look good

 

uhhh been awhile ill have to look around.it doesnt look horrible ghetto yes but not horrible

edit: im sure some of you may have seen this done before but heres a write up on it .


suplies i used .
3 7/8th x 20ft of garnde edging (yes im on da w3lfa1r)
25 pack of 3/16th aluminim rivets .
rivet gun
3/16th drill bit
used a heat gun (this is key but ill get to that in a min )

1. remove bumper (theres enough threads on here on how to do that )

2.layed out the edging and ran the heat gun over it to soften it up (its stuck in coil mode when i bought it )

3. cut out what you need (always cut alittle longer then you need just in case, it trim very easily )

4.start at one end (i used 2 rivets to keep it from flaring out)
hard to see here but i stated with the 2 rivets

5. i spaced mine out 4 inches and 1 2/3 down to get a good spot on the oem lip for the rivets .

6 when ready to drill heat up the area before drilling the holes , this expands the edgeing . once its softer and rises up abit drill and rivet . once it cools it will pull its self tight and you wont get ripples in the lip.

7.its important to do one rivet/drill at a time .

the side of the oem lip support the edging nicely but in the center i dassed some metal backstraping and bent it up so it puts a bit of pressure on the cent of the lip (i dont wan to by driving down the road and have it fold under the car .lol

thats basicly it . took about 1.5 hours to do


heres some pics

here it is after some paint on the rivets .


as you can see here the lip is strong enough to support the weight of the bumper on its own .


ill have some pics of it on the car in a few days . need to get the black housings wired up .

let me know what you think lol and i know how ghetto it is


sorry pics are gone but heres some other site

 

Too lazy to copy over the pics but here's a thread...

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1947598

Edit: fvck it, I have nothing better to do:

 

wow thanks nice pics man does look ncie...use info too

 

WTF!!!!! Looks so cheap. But it fits so perfectly. Hmmm.... I'll still stick with ABS plastic

 

Nice trick....it doesnt look too bad however, ill stick with my SiR lip

 

you can use garage door bottom seal, it works well and looks like a stock lip.

who the expletive are you callin noob. look at your avatar. HAHA and yes it was a factory option for accords. And yes it came stock on the SiR from the factory so back off aussie! ill call it whatever the expletive i want.

 

I still think you can not have a cleaner look than a 94/95 lip on a 96/97 bumper. I'm getting sick off the whole everything needs to be JDM fad( I know that is is not what the thread is about). Like I said clean and simple

 

yeah in fact i was going to do the 94/95 lip on my 96, untill i came across a really good deal on that JDM lip

also it it probably as cheap as doing the home depo special.......i saw the 94/95 lips going for like 30 bucks on ebay.

I really don't get the whole garden gutter lip thing. If there's an "abundance" of aftermarket/oem/jdm lips for the car, just buy one. Don't go ghetto on it.....

I wanna see that thing mounted

 

what is that glutter lip calle so i can go to homedepot and buy it ...

 

it's just garden edging...

You'll find it in the Garden Center &gt; Landscape Supplies area.

 

HA HA HA HA are you serious. The one on the civic doesn't look to bad, but that crap on the accord looks just plain nasty. But props on creativity though.
Stick with an aftermarket brand, if you really want that ricer look, get a stillen lip or "mugen" lip.
But I have to agree, the 94/95 lips are the sex. I actually like the whole package with the 94/95, front lipand rear lip.

 

whoa.. we calling people with "mugen" lips ricer now? eh oh, gotta put that on my list of "ricer"

That is one of the nicest accords ive every seen!!! Seriousally that is so sweet, where how hard was that to install? Can I use screws to attach it? but mad props.

Stillen lips are rice now? Dang... I guess that makes me a freakin ricer.

 

Hello Guys,

I am building a car for autox and later on the road track, but as far as practical goes, the gutter guard is best as it is cheap and serves a useful purpose. If you damage it, you still have more of the roll to put it in again. Im going to do this and post it when its done.
