The black is the same lip but unpainted, making it look overwhelming.


I'm not assuming though, just want to make sure were on the right page
I know the lip of the yellow Fit is that whole piece. But I only like the black part. If someone were to make a lip just like J's except without those big slopes it would look perfect.

Okay...i knew this was going to cause confusion.

The lip will only consist of the yellow portion with the exception of the mid section...which is like the J's lip.

Ok again, know that YOUR lip is the yellow piece on that black mold of our bumper.

I am referring to the picture of the yellow FIT. The lip on the yellow colored honda fit. I like how the black portion of the lip on the yellow colored honda fit looks. I know that its a whole lip and the top portion is body matched but I was only referring to the black portion of the lip of the yellow fit.

And j's lip has those skirt looking things on the side, yours doesn't. Not knocking it just saying...

Here are the pictures...sorry about the quality of the pics again...blackberry phone.

But you'll get the idea....so next step is final prepping for the mold.

I circled in red what the lip will be.

Pricing will most likely be $230 - $250 (excludes shipping)...still have to make one to know time and material involved.

you should make one FRP or urathane. I'm scared to crack Carbon fiber...I did that to a Carbon lip before and almost passed out. lol

This lip will not hang more than 1" lower than your bumper. Shouldn't be too much of a problem if you're not scrapping.

I cant wait to see the finished product, and am even more excited about ordering it. How exactly will this attach to the front bumper?
