very nice. I wanted to do this a while back to avoid buying the lip kit...

twistedwedge

thanks man!

appreciated!

Preciate it...Rims arent changing-kthxbye

Thanks! I agree-they flow with the car now-not stick out like a sore thumb

oh yeah? Cool. Thought I was the only one who did it. Thanks!

Yup-thats one of the main reasons for doing this. I want a lip kit eventually, but its just not financially feasible right now. Preciate the comment!

1000x better painted ssm looks good

niju321

that looks excellent! i wonder how that'd look in red...

bonknhead

Looks really good - in fact a lot like my TL-S! Did you use the rubberized primer? I did, and the flaps look good two years later. Good job!

looks good you should paint your exhaust black while your at it and get some muffler tips

twistedwedge

Thanks!

Thanks! I think it would look good matched to any color car..you should do it.

Thanks. Just regular automotive primer-hope it lasts.



Thanks-its definitely cheaper than lip kit. This only cost me ~10 bucks

Preciated!

Yeah I think so-already had several compliments on them from friends around here.

Thanks. Did them myself

Thanks

Thanks. Yeah I need to get under there and paint some stuff. I almost bought some 3a tips the other day but decided against it. They stuck out too far for my taste.

Looks good. I like them on there.

bonknhead

Hope it lasts for you. I used paintscratch.com's rubberized primer and I think it helps to keep the paint from wrinkling when the flaps bend.

That's great - I paid ~ $70 for paint, etc. to paint mine

Sometimes I wish I had these on the rear. My damn +42 offset kicks so much crap onto my rear bumper. SSM and WDP suck with dirt.

twistedwedge

Do it!!

I got a rattle can of silver metallic duplicolor automotive paint from pep boys. The way I matched it up was I took the touch up pen they have in SSM and matched it as close as possible to one of the cans. If you want a true factory match you can do what bonknhead did and buy a can from a website called paintscratch.com. I cant tell a difference with mine.

Duplicolor automotive paint in a rattle can. You should be able to find it with no problem.

Thanks

Thanks

Preciated!

Thanks

At least we dont have NBP...I remember fighting with black on my T/A back in the day...I would wash it, drive 20 miles and notice dust on it...drove me nucking futs... finger prints, streaks from california auto duster..
