So, for the longest time I searched for a lip for my eh3 that wasn't the same as all the usuals i.e. Spoon, Mugen, etc. Those lips just never appealed to me.

I always wanted a lip that resembled a stock car's front air dam; something that was the same width all the way around. The only thing that offered that was the Invidia carbon fiber lip, but that lip was way too expensive for something that would just end up scraping the ground everyday.

edit: more pics on pg 2

Comments, criticism, "haterz" and the like welcomed

Here are the results:

love the ingenuity and originality with making your own lip... i myself have one too... just expect more haters than people liking it...

 

looks good

have you thought to paint the screws?

 

not bad for what it is

 

not bad

 

if you got some black screws... that would make it look a lot nicer. but good job on diy lip!

 

not bad.. more lit up pics to show more contrast and conture of lip would be nice.. and black carpentry screws.

Thanks! You may think i'm strange, but i actually like how the rivets show. Looks more agressive in my eyes. Like i said, i just have a thing with stock car looking front air dams.

Thanks, and i will...haha

Thanks for all the positive compliments so far.

 

neat. whats it made of?

 

i would have tried using doubleback 3m tape instead of screws... you just lay it on the back of the lip heat it with a heat gun (or hair drier) and place it on, because now if you ever not want a lip or sell the car you will have holes

looks cheap. or only appropriate for a track-only car. on a daily driven or street car, it looks like a cheapo homemade crap lip.... IMO.

 

Looks cheap.

 

Looks different than the hardparkers!!!

3m tape is underneath. didn't seem to want to stay. i wanted the rivets anyway. if i need to sell the car, i'll just buy another bumper. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by RVD &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">looks cheap. or only appropriate for a track-only car. on a daily driven or street car, it looks like a cheapo homemade crap lip....

nicee!! more pics tho

 

 

actually doesn't look so bad on that car.
I'm guessing you cut it shorter... that's probably why it doesn't look so bad.

 

paint the screws black then it will be pimp

 

imo it looks tacky

 

very industrial looking.

 

BLEH , i would of just gone with a cheap EX lip. Personally looks like crap to me...

looks good. what trim did you use. i made one for my car also. but i rolled part of the lip under my bumper so i didnt need to show the exposed screws..
