rolling the lip

MrAngry · Post by **MrAngry** » Tue Mar 23, 2010 1:09 pm

What's the best way to cut the lip and what kind of tools? Any help is appreciated.

I have no idea wtf you're talking about Lady Gaga... but I have to assume you mean a rear Mopar Lip Kit. If so, use a dremel or an X-acto knife if you don't have one. You'll need to cut the bumper out under it as well.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Thanks.

Yup. If it's the rear lip, you'll wanna "notch" is, as Ryan said. Don't straight up cut it, unless you want the roll to be permanent. Even then, when you unroll it, there are still the notches and shit....Hrrmmm...Do you haz single exit? Just make a small cutout for it. Looks cleaner to have moar lip showing.

Thats kinda what im going for as far as being rolled. I was just going to cut the sides as the lip instructions say.

Ahhh.... the lip instructions don't tell you to cut it.. They tell you to cut the two small half round cutouts for the R/T exhaust.

They also said something about the whole middle area, I remember seeing it somewhere. If I can find them id know.

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Tue Mar 23, 2010 3:04 pm

No it says to paint the whole middle area flat black.. that's all.

Hmm, what the hell did I read then.

No clue. haha

Also, why are you rolling it? IMO, the consequences are the same as cutting it off. It'll never set right and the cuts will always be visible. Whether you change exhausts later or not, it wont ever be the same . . .

MrAngry · Post by **MrAngry** » Tue Mar 23, 2010 8:58 pm

Because I wanna.

Oh man. That's easily one of the most valid responses I've ever read on here.

If you have no reason to "roll" it... don't. Don't fucking cut it out either. If you can't tell from Dan's pic... it looks like shit... If you need further proof, Adam did it and it looked like WORSE shit, and how did they end up? They both ditched that setup for non raped parts... Just lookin' out man. It looks like shit cut out, don't do it.

Looks like shit:

Looks like not shit:

IM NOT CUTTING IT OUT, its being rolled. Im doing it because ive always liked the look of it, especially with the exhaust setup im going to be using. I want something like OB. Always have, and now I finally can. And im sorry yours got cut like shit.

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Wed Mar 24, 2010 12:11 am

OB has a rolled SRT rear bumper though. There's a difference.

MrAngry · Post by **MrAngry** » Wed Mar 24, 2010 12:13 am

Yea I know, hes is a lot cleaner looking. But im going for that style somewhat.

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Wed Mar 24, 2010 12:24 am

"Somewhat" is the difference between clean and shitty. I went for the "rolled" look by cutting it. Tried to give it that "SRT rolled, open" look. It failed. Your lip will be ruined. You WILL, at some point, be pissed you did it and sick of the look it's got. Then you get to drop moar cash on a lip, paint if you can't find an unraped one in your color, then re-evaluate your entire exhaust setup.

Oh, and thx Ryan for shamelessly plugging my photos. I made a reference thread!

adam if you didnt use a damn chainsaw on your old rear it would not have looked so jagged

what the hell did you cut it with anyways??

oh and i agree don't roll it, you will regret it

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Wed Mar 24, 2010 8:54 am

I used a damn sawzall with like a giantass wood blade or something. It was the worst 30 seconds of cutting soft plastic I've ever experienced.

My new cutout looks much better, eh?

A video of that would be priceless. That had to suck balls. Well at least shaken and stirred.

more eloquent version of what I said, thank you Adam.

I should post pics of my old lip after Adam raped it.. It's still sitting in my trunk looking sad

Damn, someone needs to alter the James bond Moonraker to LipRaper, for Adam's sig.

OD!

I'd rock that sig.

Ryan, you're welcome. Stick to writing programs, and I'll stick to the english language.

It was more for the image of "Jaws" Metal Mouth, w/e the f8ck his name was. But it was kind of amusing for quick find.

Edit:

Back the Hell up! Middle aged?

Don't make me get Medieval on your ass!
