If your going to paint it, grab some Krylon Fusion. It's made for plastics, and has a primer built it. I painted mine after doing nothing but wiping it down with soapy water, and it's help up very well other than where I've scraped on the underside.

I did a wrap for a guy on his with the same problem. 3M makes a adhesive promoter that will solve that problem. I cleaned the lip with soapy water, sprayed it with the promoter and it went right on. Actually better than other applications I didn't use the promoter. With the heat gun, the 3M di-noc hardens and almost feels like plastic after it cools. So far the kid hasn't had any problems and that was since last May '10.

okay so i did a little research on the lip i posted up (http://www.amazon.com/2003-2005-Niss.../dp/B005C712EY) and it comes rolled up in a little box. i dont really like that idea, id rather have a full size box.. but i really like this design. i dont really like the nismo looking ones or whatever they are called that stick out like 8 inches lol i just want something simple to go across the bottom of the ugly/boring stock 350 bumper. at the same time i dont wanna spend 3-500 dollars on something that will get torn up (im low ) anyone seen this lip design but a little better quality without costing too much?

Does anybody know how much lower than stock this will hang? Does it go any lower, or is it just an extension of the already stock height bumper?
Reason being, is because I'm looking for a front lip that hangs a little lower. I know the Ings +1 goes lower and the aerosync bumper goes way low. I'm looking for something along those lines as far as height.

LOL. my lip lasted less than a month.
it took a good amount of abuse through its short life. the parking garage at my job has steep inclines/declines.
one day...it snagged and got stuck underneath the car. i dragged it for about 2 levels and finally was able to get it out from underneath the car. for it being dragged....it was still in pretty much one piece. parts cracked and one of the ends broke off.
i'm gonna get some zipties and piece it back together for the hell of it.

^so it fits but its alittle too short? are u installing it from side to side instead of from the middle ( i kno sounds crazy but some people mistakenly install lips like that)?
