alright another evening of work gone by. as of now we have one side mounted. the epoxy is to temporarily hold the lip on while it gets lined up. the epoxy will be cleaned up and fiberglass will be laid behind the lip for the real support.

Dirty Type-S

soo awesome.. once u fuly do this, i want to ask u a few questions. ahah cuz i plan on putting it on myself as well.. and just get the body shop to finish itup prep it and paint it.

cltypeSLOW

ya im gonna repaint the whole bumper once its done cause as you can see its pretty scuffed up.

cltypeSLOW

pretty much anyone can get by doing this with basic tools and about 100 dollars in supplies (not including the lip and tools) if you dont have these basic tools then you shouldnt be touching your car or anyone elses

kevin and i have never done any body work or any lip fabbing before, so we are essentially flying by the seat of our pants on this one. so far it has been WAY easier than we expected it to be.

Is that your original bumper? Or did you purchase an extra bumper?

cltypeSLOW

thats my original one. i currently rock the streets of austin texas bumperless

Atleast you don't have to worry about scraping the front end going in and out of driveways.

Time For Sleeep

lol, can we get some rolling shots? that's hot

cltypeSLOW

to top it off the car has not been washed since the big texas meet back in febuary! LOL. its a dirty beast. the gf says with no bumper the car looks like a spider/scorpion.

RYANGP

"spider/scorpion" out in texas apparently equates to here in CA.

cltypeSLOW

alright little update action. i remounted the first side we did and finally go the other one mounted. later today i will mount the center and post those pictures tomorrow.
took some time and measuring to insure that both sides stick out at the same angle and match in height.
go ole duct tape



center portion roughed up

both sides finally!

wow... that's it? the gap is super small! damn... looking good so far.

cltypeSLOW

the gap is extremely small, its barely more than 1/2 inch on each side. im lovin this thing already and its not even smoothed out yet. stay tuned for the real surprise

All Mine

Next thing is painting the car a "money" color?

cltypeSLOW

nah money is for gangsterz.

LIPPSTUH

iTrader: (2)

damnit! u beat me to it. luckily i got subtledreamer's lip kit =P. i don't think this will be a DIY for me since i gotta pop out dents, and repaint the car... rather do everything all at once. so much to do, so little time + money =P

distortedolskool

iTrader: (1)

did you get just a lip or the whole TL kit?

distortedolskool

iTrader: (1)

today i sit at about 95% complete, mounted and filled! only some minor sanding on the lip is left to complete. tomorrow i will sand the rest and then primer followed with yet more sanding.

due to the rain the living room has become the workshop











approved!

kyle77777

Are you planning on doing the rest of the car with the tl kit?

And is your car keyed down the side?

distortedolskool

iTrader: (1)

ya i know ross would like the rest of the kit but i can't find it except new, and that's around another $900 for both sides and rear. everyone PM lipstuh and tell him to sell me his TL kit. (JK LIPSTUH. nice score on that kit!!)

note: if anyone knows of any piece of the TL kit for sale please let myself or cltypeslow know. even another front lip!

kyle77777

yeah get the rest of the kit asap. if it was me doing this project i wouldn't have put any pieces on until i had the whole kit

cltypeSLOW

ya the car is keyed.

its pretty hard to find the whole kit, and i have been itching to do this so i just couldnt wait. if some sides and rear turn up ill get them, but for now this will do. i might just throw on some mudguards to make the side/rear profile look a little lower.

distortedolskool

iTrader: (1)

slow down speed racer; this is a project. can't always get everything at once. we would love to have the complete kit in hand but that could take up to two years to collect at a reasonable price. still it's a start

if anyone would like to see the rest get completed at a faster pace please send all donations to ME. i'll even throw in a nice DIY when it's complete. (i accept cash, checks, paypal, beer, gift certificates, food, chocolate, anything skateboard related, women, guitars or anything i can hock at the pawn shop) thank you!

All Mine

I didn't think that Pawn shops would hock beer.

Good work, guys. Looks more gooder now.

Haha damn that means that its going to be a fight to get a lip.. I need some kind of lip for my front end to get the lines right for my project..

gaping46and2

iTrader: (2)

At least you can put the bumper back on the car now. Looking good boys.

cltypeSLOW

EPS i still have the wheels, they will go back on when the car is finished next month.
