Ok..the deal: I want a front lip but i cant find one that really suits me. I want something clean and subtle that flush the front of the car with my OEM skirts but at the same time, i want something that is not too much.

The closest thing i found (in term of lip height) are the euro-spec front splitters:

..but still im not 100% into it and i want a "FULL" lip so my idea is to mod them by filling the middle. I made some photoshops to see what it might look like and im stunt with the results (ignore my poor skills):

im sure that any shop can do this easily....so i think my idea is realistic

now i have 2 questions:

1-I can have the OEM poly-rubber splitters or the replica fiberlgass one....which one do you think would be the easier to do this mod?

2-I plan later on to get a gt4 front bumper and hood....will my "custom" lip fill correctly the gt4 bumper? ( i know the splitters fit both...but maybe the shape/lenght/width of the gt4 bumper is different and might screw up the "full lip fitment)?

what do you guys think?


PS: hope the members which i use their car pic wont mind biggrin.gif

i think it would look pretty cool. I would say go with the fiberglass replicas to make the lip, jut because its easier to bind fiberglass with fiberglass. ill cut down on the hassel. Why dont u just go with a european style full front lip though??

or is that 2 big for you? I would say if you got one of thouse lips, and just shaved it down it would make your job alot easier.
