normally i'd say this is a cock tease, but i know you guys and ross will do it one way or the other. good luck, it'll look sharp. i like that lip a lot better than the 02-03 TL-S lip kit. just make sure you find a good way to support the middle.

I was wondering when this project would get started. Now, get to work!

actually we are almost done! we bought 5 gallons of bondo so we're just going to keep smearing that shit on till it holds.

i know i know. just started this afternoon and i need to go tomorrow to pick up some more goodies. it has been difficult to get our schedules to mesh and kick this off. this thread will be ongoing, hence the tags at the bottom for my searches. sit back and crack a beer!

Nice project! How about a DIY for this. I am sure I could do it but it would be nice to see how you do it and what the final product looks like.

is the TL lip wider?

CleanCL

iTrader: (4)

opposite.

Dirty Type-S

No, the TL lip i have is much wider. by at least 2inches.

CleanCL

iTrader: (4)

No, the CL is wider than the TL.

distortedolskool

iTrader: (1)

kids, Clean is correct!! the TL lip is to short and must be widened in order to fit properly (at least in my case).

mattg

sounds like a plan...

good luck guys

Looking good, guys. Are you really just holding it on with Bondo? Either way, I know you'll do a clean job.

Dirty Type-S

well then why is the lip i got, wider then the CL? LOL.???

ill take pics tomorew morning....

cltypeSLOW

haha no there will be little to no bondo applied. that was a joke ;-)

cltypeSLOW

i can assure you that there is no TL lip for the 99-01 or 02-03 that is wider than the CL. you got the wrong part or you are blind. you can tell it needs to be wider just by holding it up to the car.

Dirty Type-S

the lip is OEM TL Lip. says inside it. with the parts number. if u hole itup it sticks out a good 2 1/2 inches. thats why im confused.... maybe its a 3g lip?

kyle77777

Take some pics, i wanna see this!

cltypeslow: how do you plan on mounting this to the car??

Dirty Type-S

but yea ill get pics tommorew.. and theres no need to get angry at me?

fiberglass epoxy and 3M abs plastic compound.

cltypeSLOW

im not angry sweet cheeks. im trying to educate you and bring you out of your newbness. there have been more than 1 TL lip fabbed to fit our cars, and not a single one was too wide.

Dirty Type-S

would fiber glass crack easily if u curbed or hit something slightly?

cltypeSLOW

it depends on how well you lay the glass, the quality of the glass, and how much glass you use. fiberglass can take a pretty good beating, but yes it can crack. the glass is only going to be reinforcing the lip at the mounting points and where it was cut. i think its going to be OK. there are other options like carbon kevlar, or carbonfiber reinforced fiberglass, but im not interested in doing all that.

anyone that knows me knows that i am super careful driving my car and avoid bumps and dips at all costs.

EPS CL

Man, its crazy that you're getting the lip considering how low your car is already. With some of the driveways in Austin I'm afraid I'll take my lip off, and my car isn't even close to dumped. Big ups, though. It's gonna look really, really nice when all is said and done.

cltypeSLOW

thanks man! its all about the angles. as low as my car is i have only found one driveway in 2-3 years that i cant get into.

ps theres more to come on the body besides just a lip. stay tuned till august

EPS CL

Sweet deal, man. Who are you getting to paint the bumper, or are you painting it yourself? My front lip needs repainting after some idiot dropped a ton of moving blankets onto the highway.

Dirty Type-S

i think the RJ kit with tl lip would look sexy

cltypeSLOW

or the full tl kit

Dirty Type-S

haha taht works too.

cltypeSLOW

i just dont like sideskirts or rear lips that reach up the side of the car. it looks tacky and ricey to me. just reminds me of the old bodykits fromt he 90s that used to mount like that:

if the RJ sides/rear was molded it would look pretty cool. i remember someone on the forums here had it done, but i dont think they post anymore.

Dirty Type-S
