Default my new HOMEMADE front lip!!! (Not a HomeDepot lip)








What do you guys think???

The lip is actually the filler piece between the bumper and the headlights of an old Maxima. Wasn't that hard to fit either. Just minor cutting drilling and sanding. Only took about an hour. I'll post a how-to with more pics later(if anyone is interested) cuz I didn't use a digicam to take pics while I was fitting it. So I'll have to develop them first then scan them for the write-up.

Please excuse the huge whell gap. I had to have a brake and lamp inspection so they had to be 24" off the ground

That looks really good, better than Home Depot lips. How did you come to use a Maxima part?

I'll get some day shots tomorrow.

Redline130, I was walking around at pick-a-part and this piece was lying on the ground. I thought it would make a good chin spoiler so I found an EF in the junkyard and did a test fit right there.


AND THE BEST PART IS IT ONLY COST ME $10!!!

Oh yeah and the headlight standard here in Cali is 24"

Thanks for all the compliments.
I looked it up and the piece is from an 87 Nissan Maxima.
This this piece right here

I'll have day shots later today. I'm going to go take some pics here in a few minutes. And Hopefully I'll be able to develop the pics for the how-to this weekend so I can put it up.
