I've been reading up on some of these things. Just wondering if anyone has done it locally.

I was planning to do something like this for a friend and start fiberglassing it as well. Any pointers or tips will be great

majority of the stuff i read, were not very informative.

I've seen a DIY job on a 1986 Cressida on the sideskirts, replacing the chrome trim there with some rubber material. The car was a dark blue, so it meshed pretty well with the car.

If my OEM lip goes (it's pretty beat but still standing), I'm doing a home Depot job or getting one from a Volvo.

[toyota86]

i lost the oem lip of the car and didnt feel like paying a few hundred bucks to get one from the dealer and get it painted. here is the one i did. i cut some extra pieces and used double sided mounting tape to double layer the corners so it wont fold in on itself.

I've seen it done a few times... and it looks good from far, but it's far from good.

But I'd rather see it done right than on the cheap...

[LenovoTurbo]

that is actually pretty as hell, what is it exactly?

That's garage door liner.

[8thcivic]

that is actually pretty as hell, what is it exactly?

What you need:

- Bottom Garage Door Seal (Home Depot is the cheapest.. $14 + tax)
- 3M double sided tape (From Home Depot as well..$5 +tax)
- Sissors
- Super Glue (optional if u dont want the foam lip ripping off the tape)

First you would stick double sided tape on the short side of the foam or glue the foam onto the tape. (optional for glue) then just peel off the other side of the tape and stick it onto your bumper. and u MIGHT need to trim the foam to make it fit. Pretty easy and simple. takes about 20 mins if u do it carefully.

If you really enjoy it, u can also screw it on after u taped it. Personally for me its a temporary lip until i find a perfect one. But if i cant, i might just drill it in..

here's a full quote with directions for those interested.... gimme some thanks'ss bitzhess

Lowered my car, and dislike bumper scrapes as you all do so I went to Home Depot and got a rubber garage door strip I cut it, and used 3M tape to stick it on. There is a few different ways to do this, and I did it my way. Pics below.

UPDATED PICTURES FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN THIS MOD

this is what you buy at home depot, it's a garage door liner that goes on the bottom of your garage door to soften the hit when your garage door hits the floor, so if you can't find it in the garage accessories section, ask a HD employee

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z75/Adon604/032108210503.jpg
http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z75/Adon604/032108210530.jpg


this is the tape you buy at Lordco or Napa

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z75/Adon604/041808172848.jpg




And this is how you install it onto the bumper

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z75/Adon604/050308203523.jpg
http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z75/Adon604/050308203555.jpg


and here's a picture from a few months ago the first day I installed it

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z75/Adon604/G35/IMG_2452.jpg


and as you can see it survived being a snow plow through winter, so it's very tough and can definitely take a beating
http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z75/Adon604/Snow2.jpg
http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z75/Adon604/Snow4.jpg

and here it is now, you can see it sags slightly, but like I said I used it as a snow plow so a little has to give

[G-spec]

a few pics showing a different way of doing it as well


added new pic of a reversed section of the lip so you can attach the lip 3 different ways which is even better.

once you paint it to match your car it also gives the appearance of your car being lower than it actually is, while still protecting it.

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z75/Adon604/062508205855.jpg
http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z75/Adon604/IMG_0023.jpg


and this is how it looks once you reverse it and do install it with the rear side facing frontwards, and as you can see by looking at the middle section of the bumper, since it's very flexible you can curve it to fit and contour to pretty much every front bumper, but it's hard enough not to sag

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z75/Adon604/Lambo%20White/IMG_9631.jpg



you can paint it before or after it's on the car, prior painting with flex additive in the paint is a good thing, but you can't go wrong with the chinese newspaper method either, lol

just did mine the other week

just put the tape further back and depending on where you put the tape the lip curves differently

[hk20000]

I'm not sure fiberglassing it does anything because the beauty of this lip is that it shrugs off light curbing and bruises because it's soft rubber....

fiberglassing it only makes it lose its merits.

[death_blossom]

wow, this is the first I've heard of this Home Depot lip thing. I've seen other DIY lips, but this one is amazing! totally looks like an actual lip that was molded for the car.

you know it bro! the 3M tape is super sticky, and the lip is very tough and yet flexible, winning combo... and this picture says more than words can :D

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z75/Adon604/Snow4.jpg

[Levitron]

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.

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

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:

so i was at home depot, i found some of the liner. it looks better in the pictures than in person. i was expected something that looked closer to a hard plastic/rubber. this is just super soft foam that looks like pipe insulation. i will be using some under the lip to provide some scrape protection, but i won't be making the lip.

Even OEM plastic lips will do this. I ripped a GTX lip spoiler off one of my Jettas while rolling over a gigantic speed bump and one of the corners got caught in the lower control arm, just half an inch away from the axle. The 3M tape mentioned earlier in this thread is just as strong as most of the plastic/rusted metal screws that the majority of manufacturers use to put on their lip spoilers.

Im doing this for my car since my aftermarket front bumper got fucked, and im puting the OEM back in. Putting the lip on so it looks lower to match the aftermarket sideskirts / rear bumper

Is the TAGO garage seal the one that has the most width to make the bumper lower? or would that be the frost king brand? Thanks

that's the same type of stuff I ended up using but mine was from Rona.
This stuff is super tough and has saved my front bumper a couple of times!

^wow that looks very good !
i might try it myself.. i expected the lip to be much smaller..

[!Aznboi128]

LOL, every time I put one on it lasts no more then a week before it scrapes off

What specific brand garage seal did you use? D:

I'm looking for the garage seal your using.. looks lower than the rest.. any chance you still have the packaging? Thanks

^ it's the same thing, it looks lower because there's different ways to install it, go back to page 1 and take a look at the pictures you'll see what I mean.

Have looked at the pictures over many times, not really sure by the different ways to install to look different >_<!

Any chance you could explain? I'm looking to install my lip make my OEM bumper look lower to match my VS side/rear

Thanks

[G-spec]

I don't know how much clearer it could be explained, the pictures show you exactly how you can install it.


this is the typical way

and it looks like this

and if you just install it backwards to the other side it will be more subtle like this

and if you put the tape on the other side of the lip it will look like Leopolds lip which is the most noticeable.

either way you install it, they all look pretty good and more importantly serves it's true purpose of protecting your bumper

[TOPoftheworld]

Ah, I understand now.. so whatever side you are applying to the bumper.. you would cover that WHOLE side with tape? I noticed that the red stripe only overed a small ammount on the table one

[G-spec]

no that's the wrong size tape I ran out the proper one, the tape you wanna buy is at Lordco, and it's PF 956 as pictured below, it's like twice as wide as in the pic you see, sticks a lot better

I used 3M red double-sided tape on my uncle's Accord, and the lips held up since we put it on in april.

probably dont' need to use the thicker type but it's probably safer.

thing is when mine ripped off, i was quite glad i used the thinner one,

just try to buy the black tape, which i have a lot of trouble finding btw. so i bout what G-Spec bought, but the thinner type.

[!e.lo_]

how about this onto my existing spoon lip?
lol maybe that's overkill... but I wanted to add something to just help from scraping the lip all the time. Probably install in a way it's not so noticeable.
And I still have to do this for my dad's BMW. Hell, might as well do it for my sis' too.

[Okitnam]

just curious how much is a set of that garage door bottoms?!

Rona is selling theirs for 17.99 and homedepot is like 16 or 15 something.

[Redlines_Daily]

^ + $15-20ish for the double sided tape.

[spoon.ek9]

curious, has anyone tried this for a rear lip yet?

i ended buying a EF Si lip new from honda, so i won't be doing this on the front.

[Redlines_Daily]

I think it would look funny on the back because of the angle of the lip.

Do you just fold it to get that angle?

I think its just applying a different side to your bumper that makes it look different @@

That looks pretty good, maybe I'll do my Celica coon.

[Brianrietta]

I wish I'd had more room to fit another lip or something else onto my car, I was spraycanning the bottom of my oem lip every spring. Pain in the ass.

then you're looking at the wrong fckin tape, cuz I already posted it's 3M PF-956 tape that you should be buying, and it costs about $15 at Lordco.

[FerrariEnzo]

i tried to look for it at the richmond home depot.. they only have the black vinyl thing and not this rubber liner..

maybe i was looking in the wrong department... but anyone else know which home depot is this?

I just asked the store associates and found them. I bought a long roll for 15.xx plus tax, and also the 3m double sided tape for 15.xx as well at the home depot across from bellis fair. Went to richmond lordco to see if the tape was any cheaper but it was 17.xx if I remember correctly
