molding front lip to st205 bumper Options

[azian_advanced]

molding ain't easy.

if i could do it again, i'd use better materials and a better paint gun. but in the end, i was somewhat disappointed to have put so much work and still see little cracks and voids which i know will only get worse. anyway what's done is done. sigh*



this was taken from the yahoo japan auction page (3000 yen buy-it-now that's less than the cost of the sandpaper!)

i notice your car passing mine when i'm lined up on university cres. where do you park btw? still haven't gone up close to see your new ride.

i usually park on toonie lot. then when it comes close to 4:00 i pick it up to park it behind fletcher.

looks very very similar to the trd bumper, congrats!!!

I'm starting to get confused here. Supposedly this is a Aeromajic front lip. But I'm starting to think that this guy did what you did

yeah that's my car. As we know, the aeromagic lip is not for GT-four bumpers. Lines dont match the lower grill cause its for the pre-facelift bumper. I did mine a little differetly than azian. His is molded onto his bumper, whereas mine is just modded to fit the lines of the GT-four bumper.
