That's because you hit the plastic scraper behind the lip. Look underneath your car about 6 inches inward, and you'll see a plastic line that hangs below the car - that's what you scraped.

 

Yeah- you two are horrible about that. No worries though, next two weeks meets are canceled due to holidays. You'll have an excuse this time.

Although- I've seen your car Daehan.

 

I'm not the best, but I really did try all avenues of approach, but I just couldn't do it... there's no getting away with it except for parking my car on the 1st floor :P here's how they set the damn thing, and it's not just a little bump but a HUGE one... that going sideways trick just NOT working...

 

waahhh??? the great istan has seen my car ??? haha when was this, haven't spotted u around town yet
and u should make a korean bbq meet and u'll know i'll be there

 

Oh my.

That lip did NOT look good at all.
You did a DAMN good job working on it.

I can't possibly understand why a lip like that would leave the warehouse and even moreso, I can't believe it wasn't returned.

I have no idea how that middle part got like that. It doesn't make sense.

I have NEVER seen a VeilSide lip in that condition.


Also, it must be VERY old. I've never even seen a carbon one with the raised letters.

 

you're right Brian. The old guy who I got the car from purchased this lip in a shop at Swansea, Illinois about a month after he purchased the car, that was back in 05. When he advertised the car, he had put it down there as the lip is included with the price, he didn't install it because he doesn't know how and said the fitment was horrible. When I installed the lip myself, he was right! I have to grind some of the edges to atleat make it fit and have it bolted underneath . I can't believe it myself because VEILSIDE is one of the top quality brands out there.

 

what did you use the fill it?

 

nice work!!!

 

sorry for the late reply but I used a combination of bondo filler and bondo CF jelly (I was kinda experimenting, which works best). I filled the hole first with the CF jelly then sanded it down, then I applied the body filler on top of that to make it super smooth.

The jelly is more sturdier when applied and but are more tougher to sand, opposed to the body filler which is very easy to apply, but semi-sturdy when cured but very easy to sand...

I had some issues on the fine cracks after painting it with primer. I should've used the LIQUID resin to fill/seal the cracks from the back of the lip to avoid the paint from separating/sipping through the cracks. But I'm a persistent S.O.B. who refused to FAIL over some hairline cracks . I sanded in between primer coating with an 800grit and fortunately sealed the damned thing on the 4th and 5th coats.

 

Your work looks great! You really brought that back to life... I was all bent on buying Authentic VS Product, but this really makes me reconsider... Great Work though!
