Is your front lip scraping? I think I've got a solution...

I just cut out a piece of aluminum and used Betalink-k1 spoiler adhesive and attached to the bottom of my CF lip as a skidplate :D

I'll paint it black tomorrow after the gooey glue dries.

Update: ok the painted pic is now attached. not too bad eh? I should mass market these :D

good idea!!

Only now your lip looks funny. Post some pictures after you paint it black...I'm curious to see what it will look like.

maybe mount it back 1/4" from the edge of your lip and paint it black.

About two weeks after my V2 kit got painted, I had to flatbed my car to the dealer. I took a chunk out of the lip when unloading it. :(

Doing that will probably not prevent scrapes on the lip from dips though :(
So it's either you mount the aluminum like he did and have it show, or scrape :icon27:

I don't care too much about minor scrapes though. I also have the carbon fiber Veilside lip with plenty of scrapes underneath it. But as long as you're head isn't under the lip, you can't see the scratches anyways :icon39:

yeah i mounted exposed on purpose. You can see it now cuz I left it like that on purpose to take pictures. It won't be as visible once painted.

It's CF, keep scraping it and there won't be much left to scrape. I'm not into the ghetto broken front lip look with strains of CF showing :)

Fine then, how about 1/8" behind the edge? :mad:

mass produce these, maybe you'll make some side money. Good idea!!

quietkilla6 Jan 31, 2009 04:14 AM

i agree im going to mass produce these and make some money... by the way i already started you better start now and catch up!

no but really i think its a good idea even if you can see it. Now find a way to make it into a diffuser (right?) than it will have function and function haha.

LOL then you'll have a problem with the diffuser scraping and you'll have to make another skid plate for that. :icon17:

very nice, i had my bodyshop custom make me a skid plate on my previous car and it saved my front bumper a couple of times

lol true so lets just make a skid plate product line. You know how it goes, if you want our product to work at optimal efficiency you have to buy all our products. I keep sayin our as if i had anything to do with this lol

Thats a smart lil trick to a common problem. Im real pist i didnt take my lip off for the winter. Going into my driveway with snow that iced over scraped and gashed the bottom of my lip. Now im debating having it fixed (anal like that) or going with a new Nismo V2 front bumper. I just love how clean the V1 lip is though.

spinviper Jan 31, 2009 09:23 AM

Where I can get piece of aluminum and how much is it ?

Lowered with a lip and I won't even be able to get into my driveway as it has a big curb and inclined. Not a fan about parking on the street either.

M3ANMACHINE Jan 31, 2009 07:21 PM

I thought about it, but figured it would look silly :dunno:
I'm interested to see how it goes

aloh Jan 31, 2009 10:02 PM

Too late for me...my lip has already sustained pretty significant damage. Neat idea though.
