any other option for the garage door seal lip ?

[04pwptehsex]

i was wondering if there was another alternative to the garage door seal lip i had it on my tsx and like with 2-3 days of having it it broke/ripped so im trying to figure out if theres another option i know the guy w the fa coupe has some lip he made and it sort of looks like a lip I've seen on a few WRXs

anyways if you guys have any idea of another/more durable option to the garage door seal lip let me know

well this is just me, but you could try take a strip of metal about 1/4 inch wide and bend it to shape and contour the front bumper. and then glue the garage seal lip on top of it, idk if you're down to drill holes. But 4 holes will do. one on each and and two more following somewhat towards the middle. and then get 4 bolts and nuts and basically sandwich the lip between the metal strip and the bumper. That's how i had mine, when i did that lip on the lincoln. it holds it on solid and doesnt deform or rip, other than it being more sturdy. idk what you would use, because its just foam lol

yea see it ripped vertically and then went to shit from there so i dont know if the metal strip holding it to the bumper would really help :/

Hmmm, my lincoln was never low lol so i never had to worry about it :p
Hmm, idk what else you could use that gives the same look :/

They don't make replica lips?

I love my hd lip. But your right, it is easily ripped. This is the second time i replaced it. I want that polyurethane lip too.

looks like one of those wrx ebay lips, but I'm not sure which model (bugeye, peanut, or hawkeye). similiar to this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-07-IMPREZA-STI-URETHANE-FRONT-PU-LIP-V-LIMITED-S204-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZSubmodelQ3aWRXQ20STIQQhash Zitem2a08a023c3QQitemZ180533339075QQptZMotorsQ5fCa rQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories)
i thought about getting one and trying it out, but my car's front bumper isnt as squared off as the wrx.

^^^ thats the same thing i was thinking. ive been on the search for something else that can replace mine. hopefully i can figure something out.

that ebay suby lip may work on your lip since the corners stick out more than the bumper line.

[ThisGuyRett]

Thanks for the suggestion bro. I'm gonna look into it and if itworks then I'll give you the props lol :D

[gearshifter]

im planing to make a mold out of one so ill let you guys know how it turn out..

[04pwptehsex]

whats the width on the wrx bumpers? i dont wanna order that poly lip and it be way to narrow and look retarded lol

[2004nhbptsx]

hmmm that is yes the wrx lip. wasnt suppose to get out but you kow ppl can recognize it haha thats my buddy phamos car, ive hang out w him pretty often and the wrx lip wont fit under the aspec lip, we tried =X

[04pwptehsex]

damnit :( , yea i knew it was wrx lip when i saw it but when i asked dude said he made it i didnt too much believe that one lol

[ncis300]

everyone has to find their own thing to work. since the bumpers are different. im still on the search for mine!

Question...related to lips..

I have a fiberglass lip right now at my current lowering spring status ride height...however that will change next month or so when the coilovers come, which means it will be nearly on the floor...I believe. Either way, is there a way to ensure or protect a fiberglass lip? (Like something to put under the lip?)....I wish it was ABS or Polyurethane, cause just means it wont crack. But, if there is nothing to do...then I just need to obviously drive more careful and angle more than I do at this height, and hope for the best.

[7ender]

There are those universal lips on ebay that look just like the garage door seal lips...dont' recall what they're made of. Maybe they're the same thing :p

[04pwptehsex]

Shaw you could add a fiberglass/wood/aluminum splitter on the bottom side of the lip, thats what ive been considering makin since i bought another garage door seal and fucked it up on the second day havin it on :thumbsdown:

7ender, the ones are ebay is same as garage door seal but like 2-3 times the price of garage door seal at H-D/lowes

[VitzotaZilla]

Interesting... a suby lip. Never thought about that, but i've always wondered what i could find to fit my car instead of getting the over priced lip for my car. As long as it gives a some length to the front im sold.
Rockin a Yaris with a hood less then two feet in length it can use all the extra chin i can give it.
LOL
