ah yes, good point.
You have to treat those new plates real nice. I'm so careful with mine.

I have an idear.
Seems simple.

The US holes are not as far apart, yes?
ok good.

next step.

perhaps what you would want is a simple piece of metal. a rectangle.
From the looks of it, maybe an inch and a half long each. ... or hell, maybe a long piece that you bolt to the factory holes, then you drill 2 holes in that little metal bar for the US plate holes.

Does that make sense?

Boom. Superglue or Epoxy nuts behind the holes and then you got a cool guy bracket to bolt the US plate to.

It's real simple in my head, but I didn't even rear what I wrote, so I hope it makes sense

Touge_Monster · 01-08-2010, 06:10 PM

Brian how do you attatch your plate when you have it on?

I think Im just going to drill holes in mine

s13drob · 01-08-2010, 06:28 PM

thanks for the pics zx88. Ive been waiting for someone to giv a close-up.

Screen Dump.

Brian · 01-09-2010, 12:03 AM

I have a L-bracket setup and a ziptie setup to hold it onto the car real nice like.
You can't even tell how it's attached actually.

Email me directly with your Full name, Address, phone, and zilvia.net user name and I'll compile a list. If it looks like its something that'll take off, I'll start the GB thread on it. I'd say PM me, but my PM box fills so fast, email is easier.

[email protected]

...and just a best guess...$149 for FRP, $299 for carbon would be approx. retail.

I met with Chris from modiride when I purchased my type x lip from them. I remember him mentioning that the first lips they produced had fitment issues due to being too short from the ends (where it bolts to the wheel wells). The lips he sells now have extended ends and they fit great.

This makes sense knowing that the OEM plastic lips exhibit much better ductility than fiberglass or FRP. So keep that in mind when making your lips Chaser.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 01-09-2010, 02:16 PM

I heard someone's coming out with a Urethane replica.

For all of those seriously wanting the lip, I'd just wait for that.

Matej · 01-09-2010, 02:44 PM

FU whale!
FU dolphin!
FU kouki lip!

When was this? I met with him and he didnt mention that. Thats how mine almost broke I didnt think it was going to be long enough to put on

wh0aitznic0 · 01-09-2010, 05:08 PM

Fuck it, the Chaser lip is only going to be less than or around $100 if 30+ people get in on the group buy (which I believe will happen). It's good to have an extra or something just in case.

But they still need a lip to make the mold with, which might cause the problem of it coming out or not

Well whatever happened to the one your friend was working on or is this the one your talking about. We never got an update on the thread you had mentioned on this

9s13Coupe3SX · 01-09-2010, 05:20 PM

will there be pictures of actual lip fitment on bumper? I would like to see the product test fitted on a bumper first before I jump this eventho its a hell of a deal.

*Wake* · 01-09-2010, 05:25 PM

wtf why didnt anyone tell me this thread was open?

More info on the Urethane replica later.

The fiberglass copy is currently being test fitted to see if there's any areas that need attention.

If all goes well, Urethane replicas will be made.

kalypso123 · 01-09-2010, 06:01 PM

urethane ftw , they should skip the frp ones altogether.

*Wake* · 01-09-2010, 06:10 PM

I agree

im actually considering going to a custom plastics place over here in my area and seeing if i can get the to make a piggy lip and kouki lip out of ABS.

We'll get a lip somehow.

Hey ChaserAero,
Can you make that lip a little more aggressive than the OEM one?Just like the GT1 Motorsports one on the pic below.

I'm sure a lot of people would love to have one like that. I'm in.

But the thing is, bromosexual, that Chaser needs the original to make the mold. If somebody could so happen to cut up the bottom of a GT-1 bumper (like the lip in question) and send it to Chaser, they can make it. Otherwise that picture isn't enough to suffice in making the lip.

It looks like it should work with the kouki clips too. Are the USDM clips longer/different? I didn't even know USDM S13's came with front plate brackets.

Perfect. After the license plate is aligned the clips clamp down when the screws are tightened so it ain't going nowhere.

Matej · 01-09-2010, 10:31 PM

Perfect, thanks!

Now I just need to research what kind of witchcraft it requires to hook up the turn signals and running lights.

drftwerks · 01-09-2010, 10:41 PM

Oh shit, matej got aero already, i was gonna go get that shipping quote at work tomorrow, i had to measure it.
