    Default Made a lip.....TAKE A LOOK!------------56K warning!

    I just made this lip on a $15 budget. I kinda made it in a hurry...but you can make it look much better and it can be made pretty easily. Here is the link...

    The first one is photoshopped a lil bit.

    It's actually pretty strong. Probably the strongest lip you will ever come across....every other lip just gets cracked and its not THAT low. Plus its only like 5 dollars to replace. Next time I do it, I will do it much nicer with no cracks.

    HD Lip FTMFW. I love my lip. I have enough left over to make like 3 more if i have to, but this thing just bends and flexes if you hit something. I wish it was a litter stiffer, cause i dnt believe it is actually serving a porpose besides makin the front look a lil lower.

    Very nice...my bumper wont let me do it like that tho... I just wanted to make mine look lower cause of these big a$$ tires. But I couldn't find a lip anywhere for my car.

    There's ALWAYS a way, it's a measure twice cut once kinda of thing...or review the options and figure out which one is the cleanest and most practical.

    i don't like your craftsmanship. lol. looks good on the cobalt and s14. you're going to redo it anyways so essentially this was for practice. a smoother cut and black rivets would make a huge difference. as far as being for or against the hp lip, i'd put it on a <$5k car anyday.

    Absolutely ugly. If you put it on for looks it failed, but they actually perform.
