Before you say "search" I did, and didn't find what I was looking for after searching the 42 threads that came up. Also, I don't care that it's "junky looking" or "was done along time ago" just to clear all that up.

I have a question regarding the Home Depot DIY lip. I know many used screws to rivet the lip on. Do you screw the new lip on top of your existing oem lip? Or where do you screw through?
Also, did you guys put anything on the back of the screws to keep them from falling out, the last thing I want is a flat tire going down the road... I know people suggesting using L brackets to keep the lip from folding/warping at higher speeds, where did you screw those in, and how far apart (and/or how many brackets?)
TIA

 

Okay surely someone in here has done this and could point me in the right direction.

 

"L" brakets

 

That's what you use on the backs of the screws?

And one more... do you screw the lip through your existing oem lip?

 

no, i would use L braker and like 15 of em or so. Screw them into the bumper, and put a lip on with bolts, washers and some nuts in behind. More screws looks better than les for that lip.

 

So on the bumper above my oem lip.
Thanks man!

 

no no no. NO oem lip. take it off

 

Thanks, sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

thats ok, If you use oem lip with this it will look like a total mess

 

lol @ home depot lips

 

The lip won't match your performance unless you put vtec fluid in your gas tank don't forget that!!

well take that black rubber stuff that goes on the bottom of the wall adn connects it to the carpet in the cheap office buildings. Wrap it around your bumper, you got yourself a lip.

Well it actually looks kinda like a racing lip deal but still. To fabed up for me...

 

am i crazy or there was a quick edit?

No, lol @ paying too much money for something that cracks etc. when I go over a speedbump and is not worth that much money, when I can just have some cheap lip that it doesn't matter if it scrapes or not and I can make 3 or 4 lips out of a $6 roll of the stuff. That's whats lol.

 

i think the only reason people put those lips on their cars is for track days...

if you plan on rocking a home depot lip around town keep the stock lip. it usually looks 10x better than any aftermarket lip anyway

 

 

yeah i wanna see a pic of this home depot lip

 

5 posts and you already got strike one...good job!

 

 

Which is why it's MY car and not yours, I'll do w/e I want with it.

 

good answer
