How much do you have to modify a rear lip to make it fit the CL. Also what would be easiest lip to modify. Thanks for the help.

97Black2.2CL

you should ask VXCL for that.. he has a 95 WW accord lip on it i think.

VXCL

you basically have to cut a section out of the middle.

anyways figure $150-250 for the lip
$400 to mold it
$300 to paint it


figure $800 to $1000 when its all said and done

Minch00

Man that's a lot of money to make your ass look bigger......

VXCL

i did the front also!

CLScotty97

you think thats a lot of money to make the ass look bigger, look at all those fake bitches with plastic surgery, were talkin $100,000

layedout95

Dam thats alot I bought a new WW front lip and got it painted for 225 total.

VXCL

molded is the key word

layedout95

That looks very clean man give you mad props because you put a lot work into it and you can tell by the pictures, but I am looking for a lip that I can modify and just add it to the bumper. First reason is that the car can't roll around without bumpers and second it would probably cost more that the lip and the side skirts put together to do all that. But yours looks real clean man. What do you think is the best lip to use to do what i am going to do?

roddymerritt

VX so it cost you 1000 to do the whole kit front and rear? Did you have to cut for the tag

ghost_masterCL

OMFG!!! That look sawesome. Can some one PLEASE tell me what you mean by "molded" lips. I'm (semi) new to the whole CAr scene, I've been a computer nerd who's shunned car enthusiasts until about 6 months ago, so give me a break.

VXCL

only thing that was cut was a section out fo the middle.


molded means making it all one piece. see how in my pic you cannot tell there is a lip on there. i had it molded to the bumper to make one nice clean piece.

roddymerritt

I know what molded means I am getting mine done I was just confirming the price. So your saying it was 1000 to get it molded and painted or just to get it molded?

VXCL

im saying a g note for everything

$200 for the lip
$300-400 to mold
$300-400 to paint
+ misc crap that tends to add up fast

Could paint it yourself.. at least there's no masking involved.

I just repainted the OEM rear bumper myself to fix peeling clear.. the paint was $107 and the booth rental was $80. Body shop would have been $600 job. That's a pretty slick setup VXCL has and striking in black. My paint job had more orange peel than his though.. If it's custom paint than the formulation could be made blacker than OEM blacks.. and glossier. There's people who know how to mold stuff like this just as a hobby.. like the ex body shop guy who helped me at the paint booth.

A grand doesn't sound bad for everything but thats just me

VXCL

there is no orange peel in my paint

layedout95

So what rear lip can I buy that will require the least modification? Looking for something that looks clean and not very extreme.

baka_t

Well the best way to do it structually, would be to mold it on. Basically, like the above a section out od the middle needs to be takin out, and the bumper pieced back together.

klepto

Molded means that the lip is well..molded into the bumper, so that Its one whole piece itself. As opposed to a lip that ist just attached on

97Acura3.0CL

ghost_masterCL

So do they use mold a third piece into the shape of the bumper with the lip, or do they just use some material to put over the crack between teh two, then it get's hard and they paint over it?

klepto

the use some sort or material...like a paste...and then paint over it

layedout95

So it seems like there is no rear lip out there that even comes close to fitting the CL with out major work being done to it. Isn't there someone that has a burgandy CL with a lip added to the rear with out molding it. Who is that and what kind of lip is it?

layedout95

His name is teamblurry what kind of lip is that?

acura1983

[QUOTE=VXCL]molded is the key word


i agree

ghost_masterCL

wow, is that your CL acura1983? What kind of lip is that? It looks awesome, but It woudl def look better if it were molded. Share the wealth man.

acura1983

it is molded to the stock rear lip....all fiberglass

ghost_masterCL

oh, yeah,well I meant the whole thing molded to the rear bumper, so it just looks like on big piece like VXCL's. Though I just noticed that hte corners don't line up very well with that rear lip, but it does let you ahve side skirts tht don't look too akward. I still need to find a stock spoiler for my car.

HyDrOpOnIkToKa

your rear lip looks perfect VXCL!

VXCL

THANKS

layedout95

Still no one has said what kind of rear lip they use I also seen one on a blue Cl with Lambo doors that looks clean. Might be the same one as teamblurry's CL does anyone what kind of lip that is? Thanks.

Dan3952

Doesn't sound like a bad deal, the paint for my rear bumper was $108 and I went through 75% of it in 40 minutes. If I got hit and was getting damage repaired I'd be making sure the body shop didn't use cheap paint, they aren't all created equal

acura1983 your car looks cleanNn..

lusciouzcherrie

ooups that doesn't sound right..

i meant clean as lookn nice..

CLpwner

So I searched bitches...

But, what lip is taht one because he said all he had to do was to cut a little piece out of the middle... And that sounds easy enough...

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

That's an accord wagon lip, had to cut a section out, just like klepto's honeycomb lip

klepto

its also molded

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

he still had to cut it, and molded it as well but

CLpwner

I understand that it's molded but if all he had to do was cut a small piece from the middle... I don't understand what is so hard about that?
