What sucks about it is that you have to be using stock 4x4 suspension with that custom lip of yours to actually clear the ground. On my car, the way you have it fitted, it wouldn't have a chance to fit in between the ground and bumper.

Yup I knew that. I don't have the money right now for the coilovers, so it will do the job for this summer. Next big thing before the suspension are the mags and my new interior.

Thanks for your comment.

true story, i'd be squashing that thing if it was on my car. zenki lip is already fingers off the ground.

pretty clean looking though, what's it made out of?

imo you should've made it wrap around the bottom edge (put in higher like zenki lip) and made it come out wider.

It's made of plastic but very flexible. We moulded the lip with a high temperature gun.

I cutted the lip in two pieces and i'll do the joint tonight. We'll paint the front bumper and make sure the joint is perfect after that.

Before it was looking like that:

Damn here i thought you and Bing or whatever crazy canuck got together and knocked off the Zenki Lip.

I really wish someone would do that and price them moderatley, I don't care I scrape my oem bumper at times and wouldn't mind buying 2-3 lips. Im not a fan of that Homedepot nonsense....

Are you calling my front lip "homedepot nonsense" ? :ugh:
Originaly, it was a pickup truck lip and sometimes, like an engine mods, you need to make custom work to make it fit well.
In my region, zenki lip are damn rare and pricy too... My father told me we could do something nice like this and we just did it :D

I'm very happy with the final result, this is what i wanted too. :)
