i've seen and heard of a few people using some type of plastic available at home depot for homemade front lips. what is it that they are using?? i live in an area with alot of bad roads so id like to have a lip i dont have to worry about. any info would be nice. thanks!!

 

garage door moulding?

 

i think its something like that. but im not positive it has to be somethin pretty flexible so it can bend without kinking ya know

 

I have heard of this. It's some kind of garden edging that's just stapled/zip tied to the front bumper or something.

 

If you're looking for a typical "front lip" like a street car would run, then you're SOL. Learning to fiberglass is what will allow you to make a street car front lip.

The Home Depot racer uses an alumilite (aluminum and plastic sandwiched, sign material), plywood, or sheet metal splitter, with door molding, rubber weather trim, etc. to bridge the gap from the bumper to the splitter, all taped up in body colored tape to hide the seams from the airstream. Its ugly, ghetto, and effective.

 

bump...

I used garden border, and cut the barbed edge off.

 

lol. yup. garden edging with a bunch of screws.

 

I think you're going to need to wait to be able to post a thread. You might get better responses by posting in the appropriate section for your car.

I'm a body guy, so I couldn't tell you a real answer, but sounds like something might be flooded with oil, preventing it from starting.

 

If you know what your doing and you take your time doing it then it will actually look good. But just dont half *** it cuz then it looks rediculous.

 

Jason, your **** looks proper. I wanna do mine when I get my new wheels.

 

it is vinyl base, the type of base you see in a commercial bathroom. It comes in roles of like 25 to 50 feet I believe or maybe it's 100 feet. I looks rather ghetto IMO

 

thats what i made mine out of

 

Wow, this never would have occured to me! Nice Job.

 

i just did this the other day to my hatch

 

i want to do this just like he did his. really nice job.

 

that is a pretty good job.

 

Everytime I see things like this it gets my head a thinking. Just may try it.

 

i've seen this done with garage door molding also. it looks pretty good

 

bump for the home depot diy lip

 

gross,

 

he should've added astroturf or flowers... since he's using home and gardening equiptment
