HD Lip Question

[DaveDegeer]

Hey everyone i was planning on doing a HD lip. My question is that by looking at my bumper i have some scuff marks from the previous owner that you can see the yellow under the paint, depending on the angle your looking from well i was hoping an hd lip would cover some of that (hopefully it all) and just dress it up a bit. Do you guys who have done them think judging by the pic that it will cover it up or is it to high up?

It Really Depends where you Drill your holes really but I think it will help forsure.. Do it

thanks for the info

I don't have a HD lip, but I was seriously considering putting one on. If I had to guess, I would say yeah the HD lip would cover up the bottom. I plan on using double sided 3M tape and just make sure it covers the entire underside of the front bumper where the yellow shows.

Oh, and post up picks when you're done so I can see how it looks on Barcelona Red Pearl

I'd say do it, worst case, if it doesn't cover it fully just paint the rest that shows up black, it'll match the lip and no one will notice.

I have made about 3 now and I don't think it will cover the top half of the yellow...It will help however and looks damn good. If you are lowered though be careful as it tends to rip easily

To the OP, I don't know if the first picture is close enough but you can see around where it comes up to, which from what I can tell would almost cover the yellow but not quite

Alright thanks for all the input. I plan on doing it next weekend. I'll post how she looks after-wards.

Did you drill into your bumper?

I know its old but I highly recommend trying to find some black double sided paint. As it gets older, the white starts getting exposed and looks like ass. Tape is all you need, no need to screw into the bumper.

Never knew this got replied to, but this is correct. If I ever do it again I will try to find black double sided tape (you can also color the side of it too and make it look black)

If you think your bumper is scratched up, wait until you see what happens with a lip.

I used touch up paint or something to paint the yellow. But I get away with EZ mode because my car is black.

If u guys can't find any black double-sided tape let me know, my factory makes tape

That's really clever. If you ever decide to take it off, that tape is really hard to get off if you mount it cleanly (rubbing alcohol/smooth surface). Use a heat gun or hot hair drier to make it peel off easier.

^^ Good deal, Ill keep that in mind when Im taking mine off. Id like to go with something more official.

OP, the paint damage is just a tiny bit too much and it will likely show a bit. Try it and find out.

Touch Up Paint from PaintScratch.com will ship you a spray can of your color for like $30. It's worth it for small touch ups. I honestly don't see how a 2gb owner could get away without having a can of their base color.
