Title: Need opinions on this lip.. (pics included)
Post by: jajou318 on February 03, 2007, 07:56:57 PM
What do y'all think about this... I was messing around with an i lip and a Reiger lip w/ splitter. Here's the outcome:

( I know maybe I should have washed the car before, but it's too cold for me :D ) In my personal opinion I'm not sure if I like it 100%, it is pretty low and I scrape it leaving my driveway. It won't stay on with regular clips, I'll have to drill some more just to get the lip(s) to stay on the valence.

Give me your honest opinions! Thanks.

looks ok, bit hard to see in those flics tho.

i reckon my rieger sat that low, and it shit me to tears. I love the street sweeper look, but it does get tiring.

Im just running an i lip at the moment, and love the extra clearance.

Yea, I'll probably throw my Rieger on by itself see if I like that, if not back to the i lip for now, cause god knows i can't afford anything else atm.

Honestly it looks to low to me.  Makes the front end look to big.

I dont think it looks right without sideskirts.

I think it is a good luck.  However, it would blend smoother with side skirts and a rear valence.  But then again, I plan to go iS lip, skirts and find a rear valence somewhere.

It does look good though.

Thanks, I was just experimenting to see how it would look with it on, I couldn't find any pics of it on any of the forums so I build my own :D

I have the skirts laying around too, budda, i am not going to drill, I rather use some glue to attach it. The brackets you need to drill the hole for look like one way installation so might as well use glue.

well le tme know what glue you are going to use lol... i don't want to have to drill into the rocker panels then tape everything off and spray it with primer to try and guarantee no rust will form on em.

I think there is too many joint lines, maybe if you did some fiberglass work and removed a couple of the joint lines it would look good. but its too busy, and missing side skirts. other then that go to it!

I have to agree, not a fan.

The 'is' lip looks best IMO.
