looks good...
what in home depot did you use?

[UnderPoweredRS]

garage door molding. I used the real stiff stuff so it wouldn't sag. but that made is a real pain to get around the curve of the bumper.

Yeah i was like home depot? What did he use there is no mesh grill? and a front lip from home depot? but i see it now. I didnt notice it wasnt a kit.

That's pretty neat! Anyway you want to try for a 97-99 bumper on a GSX =P

Well done...nice job. Did you use rivets/nut&bolts/tapping screws? Can you post up more of a how to? Thanks.

[UnderPoweredRS]

If you are willing to let me drill holes in the underside of your bumper then I can make it fit :-)

I used to nuts/washers/bolts to hold it on.

The molding comes as a softer compound and a harder compound. I used the harder stuff so it would sag and so it would hold it's shape better that made it harder to get the shape I wanted but I think it's better off.

I have some inprogress photos on my buddys camera so when I get them I'll make a how to.

I believe there are already holes for the plastic piece that goes under (which I had to take off for my FMIC). I would also think the holes are there for the lip kits that you can buy (for $120+). I have a spare black bumper just sitting in my apartment right now if you wanted to use that to mold.

[UnderPoweredRS]

it's more of a start on one side and hold the molding in place while you drill the next hole. I can't really mold it into shape and you need a bolt about every 2 inchs for the tight curves. the Less of a curve the easier and less bolts you need. we can fit it in the spare bumper and then if you like it we can bolt it up to your car :-)

Ah ok sounds good! lol

[Little G]

It does look pretty good..

[capaGC8]

wanna sell yours and make another one?

[UnderPoweredRS]

no because it's already on the car and thats the hard part but I'll go buy the molding and sell it to you as a front lip kit for 40 bucks. :-D
