180SX Type-X Lip

Post by **spooled240** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 9:53 am

that lip is soooo expensive, but it does make the car. Don't scrape it or you'll be hating life.

I'm going to scrape mine on the first day I paint it.I won't hate life.I'll know that my car looks better than 95% of the cars on NICO.

why would you scrape it the first day you paint it?

Post by **BrianHarte** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 10:29 am

Because my car won't have 3 inches of gap between the fender and tire like other people.

well the scraping is gonna happen, my jdm bumper is all scraped up and I'm not even dropped that much, but I still hate it when it does scrape. I take every precaution to avoid dips and whatnot.

But you should wait at least a full day before you put your painted lip on, I'd wait at least 2 days sitting in the sun placed near some heat in a well ventilated area. The paint is not completely dry on the first day and it will be less resistant to rock chips

No can do.I'll use it on the first day.

I drove my 14 home right after we painted it.

Doubt I'll be scraping. The lip only adds about a 1/4". And with my Sportlines, I didn't scrape the bumper itself, so I don't think it should be a problem. Nevertheless, I'mma B real careful going over speed bumps and driveways.

^^ well you also need to drop that **** more. right now it looks kinda funky with 4x4 status and positive camber

the whole front with the lip looks nice though

I'll pass on dropping the car more. I'm happy with the current drop. And besides, I wouldn't want to B worrying about the body components anymore than I already do. And the tires are actually aligned to ZERO (Pretty hard to get positive camber on a car with a 2" drop).

wht is up with jdm oem lips costing sooooo much?the lip looks nice tho op.

Post by **spooled240** » Fri Dec 26, 2008 9:41 am

maybe they are rare? Apparantely manufacturing cost isn't an issue if the whole bumper is cheaper than the lip itself

Post by **BrianHarte** » Fri Dec 26, 2008 9:46 am

Beats me.

They are pretty hard to come across.

Gotta pay to play.

Post by **spooled240** » Fri Dec 26, 2008 9:49 am

someone should buy a lip and make a fiberglass mold cuz it might be cheaper to melt down the jdm bumper and use the plastic to make a few on your own lol

Post by **BrianHarte** » Fri Dec 26, 2008 10:28 am

There already is a Fiberglass version of the lip available here in California.

I could have got probably 3 of them for the price of the OEM one, but why bother?

LoL!! yes it does hurt...Has anyone tried to fit that lip or tried to s14 greddy lip on the oem s13 bumper like usdm_180sx's?? I'm going for the clean but aggressive look.....

Post by **SleepyHB** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 5:14 am

Ok I never did like this front bumper but with the lip it actually looks pretty good.

Post by **spooled240** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 10:56 am

the bumper does look weird and aftermarket but that's why I like it.

Post by **BrianHarte** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 11:26 am

It's OEM.

Nico, you're blowing it.

Post by **spooled240** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 11:38 am

I know, I said it LOOKS like it's aftermarket.

BH, you're not reading.

Was down at West Covina Nissan last week and they just got a new shipment of Lips in. So, for those of you looking for lips, ask for Ray in parts. He said he'd beat Performance Nissan pricing. Just a heads up.
