I promised to post pics of this a couple times already. Well, here it is: my $6 ghetto front lip. Purely impractical and non-functional (it has a big hole in the front). I did this about a month ago out of sheer boredom and kinda like it, so it's staying on the car until it at least starts to snow. It is the lower part of another car's bumper stretched and ziptied in place. The dark gray color matched up pretty damn well with the stock gray paint along the bottom of my white zenki.

Too lazy to host the pics, and they are not of the best quality (scanned), so you'll just have to download them, sorry.

Lemme hear the comments. I'm wearing my Nomex underwear!:D

Boro look not good for s14's....they're supposed to be clean!

I'd have to see this up close to see if I really liked it though.

My friend has a "garden trim" lip on his Boro-lla (AE86), and it looks badass......its like 5 inches......and w/ his coilovers its almost on the ground.

I disagree. A car isn't supposed to look like anything really.

10-28-2003, 09:35 PM

When I hear S14 I think, nice seats, comfortable ride, nice clean car, etc etc.......

This is of course my opinion.....but I do believe other people see it this way.

When I think S13 I think, blown shocks, cracked dash, electrical tape on bumpers, painted SE or teardrops, N1 style exhaust.......

Chernobyl

10-28-2003, 09:43 PM

I could see that. I guess this proves that I'm more of an S13 man at heart.

I have s14 seats, and want/need s14 seatbelts.

Haha, do all of us s14 owners a favor and don't
show those pictures to anyone else. Maybe you can
give it to a Honda owner for Christmas?? Although
for 6 bucks thats a great job! Lets see you make some
matching sideskirts....:D

not a dig, just my 2cents

Chernobyl

10-29-2003, 11:06 AM

Thanks for the comments guys. I guess I like having the car look like a NASCAR. And yes, my family is lucky. You haven't lived 'till you've tried raccoon for dinner.

I hope you see by now that I'm not very serious about this whole lip deal. It was an experiment. Obviously, it won't appeal to everyone.

SlideStar: Are all s14 owners connected at the hips? I don't see how the way my car looks affects your car, or anyone else who happens to own an S14. Oh, and I've never seen anyone make descent homemade sideskirts, I'm not that ghetto, haha.

Edit: whoops, I guess you meant to say your car looks like a nascar Kandy...

Good. With all the money you saved on your front lip you can buy
some real sideskirts! I'd still like to see you make 'em yourself though.:D

SH1T!!! I knew I should have worded it better. I meant YOUR car looks like a NASCAR. Mine DID look sexy. Now it looks cracked out....:D

with the ammount of time you spent making this lip you could have gone and found an unsuspecting "SE" owner and offer them $25 to take that "scraped up bottom part of your bumper" off. OEM still rocks, especially when your car is slammed. You know what else makes our Zenki bumpers look a lot better? cutting out the cross hatching thing in the center air duct thing. I did that, front lip, removed grill and slammed my car and it looks HOT! just my thoughts tho.

No, I didn't. That is Dousan's opinion . Believe it or not, he is not the end-all-be-all of 240sx styling advice.:rolleyes:

10-29-2003, 02:46 PM

The only one that needs to be satisfied w/ your car is you, dont let anyone change that.....

If we listened to everyone's opinion, we'd all have cars that looked exactly the same in the end.

would you happen to know whos car is that? Those look like the same stern wheels that I have and I was thinking of powdercoating them Black instead of keeping them gold. I not sure if i want to do it though.

Chernobyl

HAHA This is exactly what I expected of this thread. Like some have said (thanks guys), it is my car and I will do to it what I feel like. I'm not trying to prove how much money I can throw at my car and how "universally-admired" I can get it. I like the way it is, and believe it or not, most people who see it in person do too (not ALL of course). If I were afraid of the flames I'd get, I wouldn't have posted the pics, so thanks for your input. BTW, I don't see how my lip is any worse than the Home Depot examples posted. I guess you have to see it in person...

The "everyone swinging off dousan's nuts" thing has been going on for a LONG time here.. I don't get it. No offense Dousan, I know you have some driving skills and all, but some of these guys just think you are almighty.

ChokudoriS13: Thanks for your comment. I'm glad someone else is open-minded enough to accept my 15 minutes of ghetto-car-styling effort, hehe.

Nokeone: I really want to see pics of that S14 bumper on an S13! Take some pics man.

He has 6000+ posts, I'll have to admit "most" of his posts are pretty informative.

Aces lip looks good. I had a freind with that garedening stuff on, but it looks like ass cuz of the paint he used, its too shiny, not too sure what he put on it to make it look all funny.
