GE Front Lip. Read. Now. Seriously. Do it. You know you want to. DO IT.

Ok, so there was some talk about the lip on this GE. Anyone have any details whatsoever? Or any more photos/angles? I like the JDP lip, but more options would be great. Any info appreciated. Its for the good of the GE NATION!

Yea I was under the impression it was a diy one-off. And as much as I hate to take someone else's idea, I would love to find out how he did it. Or at least start looking into making something similar myself (not likely, but it sounds good lol)

the problem with most people who did the home depot lip... they buy the same rubber that everyone is using. if you're creative enough... there's more than one garage door rubber seal out there. play around... it's a DIY to begin with

Haha nope. I RARELY go to meets, and haven't been to any in the Fit yet (went to Wekfest with Hasan (IDK if you'll know him? Momo?)). I always consider going to StanceWI meets and then I assume they'll be lame and opt to stay home.

I'll organize a JDMC WI meet next year (Just as I have for the last 3) and I'll go to one of the Scrape Artist Gangbangs. Other than that just Wekfest.

Yeah, try out several different polyurethane lips. I wold actually try some of the 99-00 EK PU lips...these are used on many other Honda models (I have one on my 05 civic...see sig below). They're also ubiquitous so you can pick them up cheaper (in case they don't fit).

[TBH, I bet that lip looks like crap in person...it looks like it's really stretched out over the Fit sport bumper.]
