In all seriousness, lip looks pretty good, I might do this to the RS.

THat's not that bad for a DIY project. Much sanding is required but the end result looks like a B+

Not to shabby

yea, it really doesn't look bad honestly. karma for attempting it AND using my old post

**UnDeR_FLiP** · 5-28-08, 12:40

wow, that doesn't look bad at all. I think I may try this.

What kind of door seal was it? did you get it from home depot?

Only thing I would change is the way you bonded it to the bumper...3M tape won't hold for that long.

mrfmx6 Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: , USA Age: 29 iTrader: (0)	Yeah I used garage door seal from home depot .. item number 03749 .. its 16 ft .. cuz unlike the ones who did before me .. i made a potruding design ... so needed more door seal ... and the 3M tape is indoor/outdoor type. The lip kit is very light ... cuz its a spongy material .. not solid rubber .. but does the job pretty well ... Additional info: you cannot sand this stuff, its kinda sot rubbery .. so its a direct primer,paint gloss ... or maybe only paint and gloss .. if primer cracks up ... http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_19_full.jpg double sided 3m tape ... http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_20_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_21_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_22_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_23_full.jpg This is how i attached the lip kit to the car .. http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_24_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_25_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_26_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_27_full.jpg photoshoot of the new lip during daylight .... http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_28_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_29_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_30_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_31_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_32_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_33_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...98_34_full.jpg
