damn, your car is nice and clean

 

I would of molded mine, but my car is too low. I eventually would crack it. I'm currently DIY-ing my rear bumper. If I had a garage, I'd be painting it all myself.

 

fuck d5c5b...u are fuckin DIY king... you must got alot of time on your hands?? where did you learn how to do all that shit??? man i wish i stayed by u... i'd be learning all kinds of shit!!!

 

if you dont mold it is it just bolt on?

 

Actually, you screw it and use adheasive tape.

 

nice work david

what parts are needed for molding it?

did you drop it lower and then mold it to make it even if you were to put on skirts since the lip and the skirts for AM wont line up

nice work, how much for all the parts to mold? and what all do you need? take lots of pics

 

you use tape...i usally use a condom

 

97acura3.0cl....what does AM mean?! i just learned this stuff doing it......this is my first time molding anything....i used a product that was recommended to me by ross...rmstoico....and its working great! its around 20 bucks a can...i bought two, but i dont think i'll need more than one.....then im just using body filler to smooth everything out....im not doin any side skirts or anything else...so i just stuck it where it looked good......its not much lower than stock...it justs ticks out more....im happy with that considering my cars low enough.....stay tuned for more pics!

 

baka_t.....how lows your car? mines 2" drop on nuespeed sports.....i dont think ill have a problem....this stuff im using will not crack...and urathane is pretty flexible.....i think youre just too chicken!

 

hey umm....when we talked about this the other day...i told you that you had to cut the lip in half right lol....that still looks like its all there, whats the deal big dave

 

the deal is you dont have to cut shit......youre just wack!

 

^^the deal is, yes you do, beeeotch!

 

the lip wont crack or the molding. its the fuckin paint! i already got stress cracks everywhere. as soon as it starts flacking ill repaint it. now that i got the konis set much firmer i havent really bottomed out in a while. im dropped bout 2.25" in the front.

 

do you know what kinda primer base your paint shop used? if its a laquer based primer thats your prob...also, they shoulda dded flex agent to the base coat to allow it to flex a bit...therefore no stress cracks.....

 

damn dave, it looks like shit.......just kidding. looks fly, i cant wait till i become a rich white dude. wha bout that tampa meet? maybee at clearwater beach or redneck beach. sorry to higjack.

 

I'm about 2.75-3".

What type of product are you using?? Is it a plastic type product?? Most glass products bondo, duraglass ect will crack if flexed.

I'm very interested in the product you are using. Pm me and let me know.

 

some guys will cut steps you gotta keep an eye on them.

 

no need to PM....first i use an epoxy primer to give a good strong base for the paint to hold to, second...when i spray the base coat i add an adjent called "bulldog" its the flex adgent and works great....i used it on my side skirts and mud guards...no probs yet... two years in the runnin!


willie....thanks for the shitty compliment! haha....lets have a meet later this summer.....clearwater would be awsome...ive always wanted to do a meet there...ummm...eraly july sound good? keep in touch!

 

im goin to ohio on july 2nd. but the end of june im free.

ur lip really looks good. im gonna have to get me 1. after i get some rims.

 

I meant the product that you were using to mold it to the bumper. Haven't heard of a flexing body filler.

 

test fit

primered

temp. custom front end!!!!


will.....i get back from africa june 24th...so maybe somewhere around the 30th?! anyway, keep posted...ima do the base coat and clear tomorrow guys!! hopefully its back on the car tomorrow night......

 

thats a rmstioco secret....i dontknow if he'd want it getting out....maybe you should become a member of his forum...www.importtunerforum.com! that might help you find wha youre looking for!

 

ohhh, and there is a flexing body filler...theres plenty of em.....the product i used to fill after i molded the two is called
flex-epoxy....made by rubber-seal....works great!

 

looks nice man good job

nice work

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

Search and you shall find. Thanks dave I found what I was looking for. Learned something new today.

 

word

 

Looks nice. I would have cut it and then molded up the rest to the bumper light. I wish that i knew how to do all the work.

 

i tell you one thing i have smashed the hell out of my molded lip several times and no damage other then the paint. ross did it for me. My girl curbed my shit at least twice that i know of and i've hit some nasty pot holes and bottomed out like a mofo.

 

got the base coat on this afternoon....gonna clear it tomorrow.... here some pics


my exclusive one off custom paint booth

had to do a lil fixin on the car too...had a lil run in with a semi a while back

a lil redo of the mudflap too, but i got that semi back....i got $5000 from that sucka!...check out that molded lip!


let me know what you guys think

 

dave...you're off the chain bro. lotta props over here. no one on this board is a DIY'er like you are. Looks great!

 

what the hell u doin in africa?

 

visiting family....i was born there....

 

You got a nice car Dave. Nice work too. Yet another car that makes me wish I had got a white CL.
