Make sure you really clean off the areas which the adhesive will be attaching to the bumper.

I used Windex then alcohol wipes on the bumper so that the 3M tape sticks better. Also make sure you are using the outdoor mounting tape. That stuff is much better. Don't go anything other than 3M.

I thought u would at least paint it in your garage !

ay ay now, no need to exclamation mark me :p there's a good explanation for that.... I was over at my friends house installing his lip as well and his garage wasn't available

that was the only time I painted it while on the car, it's not a good idea as spray paint gets literally everywhere.... it didnt really matter to me I was getting a new paintjob at that time anyway.....
I have my shop do it prior to installing on the car, that way they can add flex additive which spray cans don't have, that's the best way to do it.

i tried... lining them was alot harder than i thought....like someone said above, it looks good from far away but close not so much, but i will be re-doing it again since i kinda get the hang of it

adon is that a...lip-lip???

on older cars I can see this but I can't understand such a ghetto mod on a really nice car.

yea dude, my bumper is fiberglass and only a few inches off the ground, so I need protection.. and yea it may seem ghetto at first but there is undeniable genius in it you gotta admit... :thumbsup:
because there is nothing on the market quite like this, all the lips you can buy are fiberglass or carbon fiber... the closest thing would be polyurethane which can take a pounding as well, but these are all bigger style lips that fully attach themselves onto the lower portion of your bumper... the HD lip is something nice and subtle that still serves it's purpose really well, protects your kit and pretty easy on the eyes as well.

but yea my car at the end of the day is just a nissan, I drove that thing from Van to fckin Toronto bro, 4200km through rough terrain :haha:

i'll be definitely adding this when i get my front lip.

so i went to home depot today and didn't spot any garage door liner that matches what is posted here. can someone take a photo of the packaging so i know what i'm looking for? thanks!

Damn thats a sexy sonata. Never thought id say that.

I did this yesterday and turned out pretty good.... also its in the weatherstripping section. Here is the exact product i bought yesterday.

LOL that's so redneck
Whats next garden edging on your wheel wells for DIY wide body.

Wait till it comes off and gets sucked up into your pulleys or cv shafts.

i was actually quite worried that it might get stuck in my joints and stuff. but cheap vanity got the best of me

lol i hugged a curb today a bit on a parking stall and the home depot lip protected nicely! i was so proud of my self :D

It always does, damn cheap vanity. Always trumps sound judgment. Like three day old pizza when your high or drunk and its to late for delivery.

Had mine on for a good 3-4 years without any problems. :)
Go to Rona and grap yourself one.

Sick car J-Chow. So in terms of the front lip, was it hard to curve the plastic around the 2 points that jut out? I want to do this for my car as I've already touched the bottom on a curb...:(

not at all
the lip is made of foam, and it's very pliable so it can bend in

:haha:

^ haha yeah i read that too

^^ Reading that comment on Home Depot, A bunch of you guy are going to the Home Depot on Terminal, I went during lunch and there's only 2 packs left, one which somebody opened. :haha:

That being said, I'm wondering if this will hold @ hwy speeds or say when @ Mission Raceway for street legals

I hit 200kmh+ on some deserted highway in the Saskatchewan, held up just fine

LOL i thought they wouldnt allow my review up there cause theyre probably like "wtf is this guy talking about?"

LOL the opened package is still there?!?! it was there 1 and a half month ago and i was like wtf someone opened it and placed it back in there.
