Lip Kit

Do they make lip kits for the 1g?
I'd really like one, but after a long while of searching, I have no results.
I might resort to making one, but you know I wanna know if they even make them

I dont think there is official lip for 1g's. People had made a couple fiberglass ones themselves, others used lips from other cars and made it work, and some just went to home depot and made the magic happen.

Here is my home depot lip. I know its not a dsm but you get the picture. It cost me 15 bucks.


Btw, did you search? Just wondering.

Yeah I did search, I saw the horrible home depot one for the 1g. It looked really bad =/
No offense to anyone, yours look good.

There is a Seat part that is a 2 piece lip that is rumored to fit 1gA cars. I bought one years back for my 1gB Laser and had no luck.

Moved to Appearance.

I found a good one on the SRT forums.
Garage sealer ftw.
I'm gonna do that, but it will be unique. So you guys will be updated

You mean the one posted three posts up from yours, or the one you criticized in this thread?

The picture that guy gave me looks nice, it's basically the same thing I found in the srt forums. They one I did NOT like in fact was this one.

Home Depot lip FTL. That has got to be the cheapest and dumbest thing. Sure its easy, cheap, and can easily be replaced but your using freaking gardening materials.......

Actually Garage sealing materials. Duh.
And you can't honestly say that that SRT looks bad.
Also. Do you wanna find me a 1g lip?
Feel free to do so.

Also, I am making my own version of the poor mans lip, updates will be coming soon.

So wait, youre telling me that its better to spend 250+ on a fiberglass lip that scratches on every speed bump and will eventually crack as opposed to a lip thats 15 dollars, easily replaceable, and is very pliable?


Ok.

Ok.
My thoughts exactly with anything THAT close to the ground.
Edit: They should make those little light covers that make your car look angry for Talons.
That or I was thinking about buying 1 light covers and cutting them like that.
Looks good.
Thanks for the help.

So for the guy with a 2G lip, what exactly did you use to make the lip. Also do you mind if I ask what you used to mount it to the car. Thank you in advance. BTW the lip looks awesome
