Default Any V1 lip owner here???

Anybody with a V1 lip, hotchkiss springs, and 19 inch on the Z in So Cal?


I am looking to get a V1, but don't know about the clearance of my driveway. Just thought I ask so I can check it out.

Thanks,
Tony

Yea, I got that set up! If you take a pack of cigs and stand it up, that is how much clearance you have from the V1 to the ground with the Hotchkis suspension. Just take it slow as you go into your driveway is all and go at an angle(45 deg), right coco350!

Zman23,

Guess I have to go and get a pack of cigs as I don't smoke (hehe). How far does it sticks out horizontal from the factory bumper?

If you are ever around the covina area (pretty close to Perf. Nissan), let me know!! I have u test my driveway. I will buy you lunch man.

Btw, is your v1 lip made out of fiberglass? Are you going to the SB cruise?

Tony

tractng,
Sho is my secretary, have u noticed? ha! just givin' ya sh*t Sho! anyway, I don't smoke but have buddies that do and use that as an example.
I can show u my set up at the SB cruise as well. I have the urethane lip, more durable than the fiberglass which was my first one until the Nissan dealership busted it off by putting my car on the wrong rack for an oil change. Dumb a$$es!!

I've had my urethane V1 lip painted 3 times now, I'm lowered with eibachs. It scrapes so much everywhere that I have taken it off. Last time the paint only lasted 2 months before it scraped and started flaking off. Anyone wanna buy a urethane V1 with shaved veilside logo?
