Modied 99-00 Civic type-m lip for my 2002 front...

Post by z3roneo » Sun Mar 18, 2007 4:25 pm

Yup started this bad boy finally.. Gotta better job so now I have weekends off to play around with projects I've been meaning to start on from some time....

1st things 1st... Here's the lip I have on the car right now...
Image

I chose the r/t look cuz I really like and want a R/t front bumper but didn't wanna spen close to $300 to get one when I knew I still had to cut and modify it to fit over my ic..... So I made up my own using some stuff from Home Depot and it looks really good... Only thing I hate is that it bends and moves sometimes and that made me wanna start this project...

Today I picked up some more materials I needed to start on the lip...

What I have so far... (1 layer of glass on the bumper)

Image

As you can see I don't really care if the bumper is meesed up by using the resin on it simple cuz I can get a new one for like $35 bucks at certifit. Before the day is over I wanna have the mold of the bottom portion of the lip done with at least 2 or 3 layers of fg so that it could keep the shape and still a lil flexible...

I'm not gonna rush this project cuz I want the finish product to be without any flaws and perfect... I intend on making 2 of these... 1 for me of course... and the other to hopefully get a vendor on here or srtforums that could mass produce them in either fg or cf.... (:cough: evil creations or carbon works :thumbup: )

As we all know, there's not that many lip kits for the 00-02 neons that look good enough to even look at... So hopefully this lip could make a lot of peeps itching to have...

I will post more info as I go on how I plan on having it mounted and bolted on...

See ya peeps later..

Letting it dry now... after that I'll take it off and clean on the bumper a bit and start looking for something straight probably some al. to use as the mold for the actual lip..

Just fging the bottom portion already looks good... Damn I'm good... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:laughing3: Damn postwhores... :laughing3:

Well its $30 for me.... As a matter of fact, I'll be picking one up tomorrow...

Anywho... Sorry I haven't updated in a while... I was busy yanking my old tranny out with another... Trying to work the kinks out..

Got bored one day and found a local tard that was selling his type-m lip (99-00 civic) for a cheap so i picked it up and started playing with it today...

[JDM Neon Yo :tardbang:]
Image
Image
Image

Had fun cutting the abs lip in half and getting it hug the bumper very good without anything holding it up.... Thats right.. no screws or bolts are holding it up in the pic... Used some insulation tape to hold it together so I can fiberglass them together so it'll appear that it came from a dealer or something...

As you can see it does still need some modding so the the middle portion is balance like the sides cuz it comes up... and also need some more trimming and some hot love from heat gun to sit perfectly...

Kinda like... kinda don't... Duno as of yet... I guess it'll have to grow on me... I did this cuz us houston freaks have a modern performance meet to go to next sat. and I wana get the lip done to show it off... So who knows... after its finished and shown off at the meet, I might just keep it or sell it on here...

So we shall see...

The rt style will get don so don't worry.. hence why i decided to get another 02 bumper cuz I have to make the mold straight off the bumper itself... Suxs taken it off to go places...

This lip will be be lose to done in 2 days or so if the PS2 don't all me in the morning...

Will update as I go.. I picked up a heat gun, bonodo-glass, and some extra 3m double sided tape last nite from Wally World... So it'll be done before the modern meet...

Till then..

Updaters....

Was outside with a heat gun in the heat bout 3 hours of forming and melting.... Got it damn there close to perfect...

You can see how close to perfect it fits against the bumper.. the tape is there to hold it up and to keep the shape as the plastic harden again... The screwdriver is there cuz that side needs to come down a bit more...

Needs a bit more triming in the middle but it's coming along great...

Sweet huh... Tomorrow comes the fiberglass (to the back to make it one piece again) and hopefully bondo (to the front too smooth out the melting and scratches) if I have time... But tomorrow it'll be ready for the street test..

Wish me luck..

Til then..
