You're lucky you get to surf azine at work lol but I can take more pictures of the spoilers, I just glassed the edges and need to clean it all up. I'll post more today. Or at least try.

ed_423

how much were your rotors if you don't mind me asking joe

ssjoeboe9

about $550 for all 4. The rear were a little more expensive, by like $25 or something.

ssjoeboe9

I know it's not flush yet but after a little bending and 3M tape it should mount correctly. If you have a little imagination you can this is going to look pretty good.

PREVIEW:

opboarding

Looks pretty lumpy, I predict many hours of sanding in your future. This is a pretty tough project, you just have to take it one step at time.

ssjoeboe9

Yes, it is a little lumpy but that's ok. It just needs to be "about" flat, once you lay the bondo over the glass that's when you get it really smooth. I got a buddy who is really good with fiberglass and bondo. He is gunna help me out. Still needs some work, but this is my update thread so you guys get to see my progress.

i think someone dropped type s lip on your floor

ttk5

type-s lip?

opboarding

That's good you have someone to help who knows what they are doing. If I tried this I'd probably fail miserably, like I did on my clear reflectors.

jeroplex

Thats how my type s lip came. Got it from ebay?

ed_423

haha nice! my next mod is either exhaust or type s lip haha

ssjoeboe9

Type-S lip, I bought it for myself as a birthday present lol... My plan is to get both my lip and roof spoiler paint matched at the same time. It'll give me incentive to finish up my spoiler that way I can get my lip mounted.

jeroplex

its it a replica lip?

ssjoeboe9

no- I wanted the fitment so I got it shipped overseas

Just playing, its replica lol.

ed_423

^ lmk how the fitment is, which vender did you buy it from? im trying to see who sells the best fitting lip LOL.

ssjoeboe9

I bought from best racing, cause what's his name just got one that looked like it fit really well. I was waiting until I saw his and was like YUP, then I bought it the next day.

MC MiYoung3269

All this talk about lips and their "fitment"......

defconskylude

joe, how are you going to make it fit? its warped

ed_423

who the hell is what's his name LOl

jeroplex

this is the one you got right

jeroplex

maybe this guy

ssjoeboe9

Yes, to jeroplex about ebay seller, and yes to whats his name. And to defcon, if everyone else made it fit, i'll make it fit. Didn't you have to do some bending too?!

ed_423

ah yes, i have to say that fitment is great. i contacted them, but they are up in norcal so i can't test fit

ssjoeboe9

I haven't even seen it yet, I sent it to my parents house because my apartment complex doesn't handle fragile/expensive/large packages very well. I have been thinking about customizing the the lip as well.

This evo is inspiring

defconskylude

mine wasnt sitting that high off the glass though. i can flex it a little bit just enough to epoxy it to the window permanently.

ssjoeboe9

Are we talking about the lip or my roof spoiler?

defconskylude

roof spoiler.

hOnDaBeAsT_4life

The lip in the ebay auction looks like the OEM european Type S lip. Dont know the qualitiy and fitment about the one in the auction but the OEm in germany is PERFECT. But does cost 400,- bucks here. i got used one for 125,- + 50,- paintjob. I know one here who is selling his lip already painted in volcano gray NH-637M for 200,-

ssjoeboe9

I wish I could afford the real thing, but I can't drop that much when I can get a replica that looks just about as good.

Defcon- I know it seems like I won't be able to set it flush but I have a method lol. I store it balancing on my bondo can and set my heavy steel toe shoes on either end of the spoiler and it slowly gets shaped to the way I want it hahaha. Plus you don't actually have to apply that much pressure for it to form to the glass, I think 3M can handle it.

ed_423

whoa whoa whoa, DIPS! 200 US? shipped?

you got PM good sir

Would you be opposed to drilling in the bumper to fit type s rep lip?

ssjoeboe9

hmmmm I didn't realize that it was only on the sides, I might be ok with that lol. I thought I would have to drill through the front but I don't really mind at the wheel well. What are the little tabby things doing at the front of the lip? Just to hold it tight to the bumper?

ed_423

whoa thanks for the pic!

once ssblowjob install his, and it fits great, i will get it from the same vendor.

there's another vendor down here at LA that sells it too...but idk how it fits. they say i can test fit though so might just do that...

ssjoeboe9

Hey ed, I can tell you right now some bending will be necessary just because of the way they ship it. They literally wrapped it up in 10,000 small usps boxes. BUTTT the good thing is that it's polyurethane and can easily be shaped correctly. Gotta figure out whether or not I'll be painting it myself or getting it professionally done.

Grigio09

iTrader: (1)

It is to hold the bumper tight. And you have to definitely leave the bumper out in the sun let it bend...It came a little warped..

ed_423

thanks guys. i'll see how joe's turn out then decide from there

ssjoeboe9

DUDE good idea lol, it's so hot in FL I'll be able to shape that thing correctly in about 5 min. Thanks for the tip. Ed, it's gunna be legit when I get it painted.

Come to Chicago and help me clear my headlights. I'm scared shitless of doing it lol. I was glad it was over 100 in Chicago land area for awhile so the type s lip couldn't bend a little

ed_423

hey joe, how much lower does the lip hang? i want to lower my front just VERY little...but if the lip hangs lower, then i might not lower more lol
