So, nice, but so damn expensive.

This will have to wait til 2morrow. Unfortunately my car was at the shop longer than expected since all of the heater hoses were replaced. I didn't get out of the shop til 8pm. So, tomorrow morning, I'll be heading out to Nissan to got pik up the lip.

Sorry guys, didn't mean to tease U.

Need a type x grille? Still in the nismo box.

Post by **BrianHarte** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 12:11 pm

What is a "type x grille"?

I 2nd that.

Well, here it is. Sorry for the wait:

Sorry the car is so dirty. I will wash it 2morrow and take better pix.

BTW, the lip comes primered, so, I painted it flat black to kind of match the car's Black Satin. I am going to have the lip wrapped in Carbon Fiber in a few weeks, so I'm not all that concerned about it matching perfectly.

This only only leave 2 things to add for exterior aesthetics:1) Seibon CF Hood2) APR GTC-200 Drag CF wing

Merry Xmas 2 ME!!!

Did you paint the hatch yourself? Looks clean as far as flat/satin jobs go, not wavy. The lip looks nice too.

It looks ok. It kind of reminds of the Origin kit I hate. Maybe thats why I'm not so fond of it. But hey, it looks better than mine!

Not trying to rain on your parade, but I fell in love with this lip when I first saw it. I think it's one of the best looking front lips out there on any car. I'm all about OEM body kits, but this lip is an exception. I thought about having Type-X front conversion on my car just because of this lip. Just gorgeous and flows well with the side skirts.

Now that I like

Post by **ChampaignSilviaS14** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 4:16 pm

Damn can anyone get a real freaking paint job?

All I see nowadays is flat black, flat black, flat black.

All these Type X conversions and no one paints their car's, would look so much better with real paint

sorry random rant, nothing against you OP

I like that lip as well. The thing is I've never seen it B4. Otherwise, I would have looking into getting it. Got any INFO on it?

Let me correct you, cuz U obviously didn't read what I wrote after the pix. The car is painted BLACK STAIN, not FLAT BLACK. There is a subtle, but obvious difference between the 2. My dad made the same mistake when he saw the car after I got it back from shop. He thought it was Flat Black, which I kept telling him it wasn't. Then today, after I finished painting the lip FLAT BLACK, he was like, "how come the paint on ur car has a little more shine to it?"

It was then that he realized the difference.

I had the car painted at a shop. I was not about to try to paint the car BLACK SATIN myself. Especially when I've got ZERO experience.

It's called 'Break 180sx Front Bumper Spoiler.' It's way more than OEM Type-X lip spoiler copy. If I were you, I would definitely go with this lip. I think I really should get a Type-X front bumper, so I can have this lip.

oo nice lip :]but that break lip is crazy, oh man i wish i had money for that kind of stuff.

Post by **BrianHarte** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 8:42 pm

94 240sx - That GT1 is a full front bumper is it not?

The picture you posted is not an OEM bumper anyways...

pandaguy - I don't HATE oem stuff necessarily. a full late model 180sx can look GOOOOOOOD if done right. It can also look terrible. It all depends on the whole car.

flat/satin paint sucks pretty bad.

Ditto. Got the last one they had in stock. Had I gone with West Covina Nissan, I would have had to wait a month and a half.
