Pic from underneath?

SeMaxima99 · 03-10-2008, 10:23 AM

hah nice scott. I never got back to you on aim but that loks nice i thought you had acctually gotten the limited lip or something.

OptiCon · 03-10-2008, 11:20 AM

Very good. Now work some side skirts...

Out of all the crazy crap I did to that car I think the Lowes Lip was the one I was most proud of. There is something inherently cool about taking something so utilitarian as garage door molding and using to make your car look cool.

lol thanks guys. theres only one small problem now....its gone so i cant take pics underneath. i guess the super heavy duty tape didn't like the cold weather and speeds of the turnpike last night cuz when i got home it was no longer on. guess ill have to try again and prep again and maybe some screws but i dont know if i feel like tappin into the bumper

Short self tapping sheet metal screws bite fairly well into plastic. Put some rtv on the back side of the screw for a "threadlock" effect.

LiquidNails ftw

lOOKS DAMN GOOD FOR $TEN COME DO MINE ILL GIVE YOU TWENTY TO DO IT!

What material is it made of? Foam? Rubber? Plastic?

I've seen people use garden edging before. Yours looks a lot better than those did.

garrettej8 · 03-21-2008, 06:38 PM

I'd like to do it to my ms3, here is what it would look like I guess...

This is like the 50$ paint job. Looks good in pics, until you see it in person and realize that people just shouldn't modify their car with home depot products.

Vypurr · 03-21-2008, 08:04 PM

The $50 paintjob looks great if they put in the proper time for massive prep work.

PaleDSM · 03-21-2008, 08:54 PM

It is almost embrassing to admit but in the pix it looks good.

Snoozie · 03-22-2008, 10:55 AM

Awesome. I love my home depot lip. But mine is screwed in, not taped.

lawdogg · 03-22-2008, 04:19 PM

Can anyone take some pics from underneath?

Nice looks great on the Spirit RT. You have any more pics?

YellowMSP · 03-23-2008, 12:56 PM

mine looked just as good as did on the car as it did in pics. its not hard to do...just take the time to prep and clean everything and use a heat gun to make sure the tape gets extra sticky. i'd use a few screws or something like liquid nails tho since mine fell off the day after on a trip on the turnpike
