My concept for '06/'07 TSX Front lip
#82
Obviously the lip would have more shine to it with carbon fiber or poly (painted). i think it would need to be a little bigger also but the garage seal is pretty close.

I used some small screws that had washers already attached and just screwed up into the bumper. I'm fairly anal about doing stuff like this but I figured I'd never see them.

Is there any problem with your lip? any bending during high speed driving, color changes, etc? I am going to do same thing as you.....

Look at the new WRX, its got some TSX characteristics. I think this is what a TSX would look like if we had someone to make a lip (which no one seems to want to do including DanV) I like the lip though!
The front looks very similiar at the bottom, notice the long gap that curves downward on the ends.
Then look at this section of the car, looks like a tsx down the side to me.

calling rondog!
i noticed on your page that you've got a urethane lip in the works for the new TL-S. i was wondering if you've got anything like this planned for 06+ tsxes, maybe like the one that the OP created for his car... but urethane. if so, i'd be definitely interested!

Idea!
I've had 2001 nissan sentra with a mach 1 ford mustang lip and it kinda looked like the garage door seal. i got it for $130 and it is P/U. you can find it just by google or here's one of the links...

There's a sponsored group sale on a TL 04- 08 Carbon Fiber CSL Style Rear Spoiler and TL 04-06 A-Spec Add On Lip.
Of interest to us is the add on lip, I e-mailed ua6spec about a add on lip for the TSX...he said that he would need someone who lives near him (or I would guess work near him as well) could drop off their car for a few days...he could make a mold
If you look at the group buy, he has the lip/spoiler in both fiberglass and carbor fiber....I for one would surely be in to buy if we could make this happen!!

The rubber should hold up. On the Datsun site I used to go to, people used the same material to extend their front airdams down. They drove around with it everyday and it was fine
