Not another homemade lip..

c&c welcome.

Made it from a flat piece of polycarbonate. I used my heat gun to shape it, it will retain it's shape when removed.

I just spray bombed it for now to see how it looks.

Let the flaming begin.







Ps. The Goal is to achieve something that will flow nicely with the LS sport skirts.

Not bad, It could have been alot worse.
If I down a few PBRs and squint a little, it could pass for an LSS bumper.

Much better than that Home Depot crap... which isn't saying much, so I'll add, well done



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

If this is the same car, The bay is CLEAN.

I like it, very nice job shaping it! It's great how far a little poly and a heat gun can go!

I like it, but it would look even better with some sides and probably a rear lip IMO. All in all, good work.

i think how it rises up in the middle then back down is throwing it off for me. kinda like the lip slipped up out of place or something. seems to match up good on the sides but the front is just messing with it for me.

Not too shabby. A little touch up and it would be good.

that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.

Not a bad start. Needs a little fine tweaking here and there, but it works.

So I got bored tonight and made the skirts and rear lip.

I'm contemplating remaking the front lip as i found better material to start with.

Pics to follow!

teddy if you wouldn't mind, i think alot of us are still really curious about where you put all the reservoir's and lines and what not in your bay when you tucked it. care to share?

Sure, i'll have to wash the car this weekend and get some pictures!

The skirts and rear lip are made, there is little finishing i have to do to both of them so I am pleased.

I'm please to say my one off custom "aero" only cost me about $40.

the skirt end caps are an extra $15.

The Front lip will be remade to the same width as the rear valance.
