diamond lok hunt

[blacky_s13]

So today i decided on messing around with my spear s13 bumper. I sanded it down a got rid of the scratches and peeling paint. Then I primed it. That killed like 40mins. I was still bored. I Remember reading a form about diamond lok. It looks really good as a front lip. I do have an east bear lip with a jdm front bumper, (thats not on my car as yet) but i don't think that i wanna trow that stuff on in the winter. So i went to to 2 lowes and 3 home depots and did not find sh*t. I know that it should be some were around the gardening section. I asked so many ppl. They said that they never heard of it. One lady told me that it might be a seasonal item. I kno some ppl use Garden edging or Garage door seal. But they dont always come out clean. Why is this diamond lok so hard to find. Post any pics of your custom lip.

you may wanna check and see if they even carry the item anymore.

It is a seasonal item but they should still have it in the computer if they carry it any more and if they still do they can still order it.

[SirSilvia]

If you want I'll ship a couple pieces to you. (going to need more than one since they're only 6' in length)

Hey man, this is pretty off topic but I was wondering if you could post a pic or two of your car. I wanna see what that lip looks like on there

who me? I haven't done it yet myself, waiting till the spring to do much of anything else but the interior of my car.

I had the same problem finding it once, its only at home depot i found out, and its where all the bricks are in the outdoor section, not by the stuff that seems like it. It is in a bin and they are all standing up. Look them all over, cuz some have a smoother finish than others.

[SirSilvia]

here we have a Lowes and a HD not 50 feet away from each other. Story is that the dude that owns the Lowes got a divorce and his ex put up the HD right next door. pssst Lowes is better. but seriously anyone need some I can send it on out.

I do have an east bear lip with a jdm front bumper

unless you mean type x, theres no difference between usdm bumpers and jdm ones

Home Depot is the only place I know that carries Diamond Lock. You can find it near the brick pavers and paver blocks. They usually have it standing upright in the box that it is shipped in. It's not seasonal here in NC as a matter of fact I still have some in my work shop. It comes in 6' sections so you'll have to peice it together to make it work.

I might as well whore my HD lip again.

[Stev0n]

the HD website said they had it at my store and keep it in stock, but when i went, all i found was a couple different types of diamond lok (same brand tho) and none of what i wanted.

[masterdisaster]

can you guys take a picture of the packaging and the product #..

i'm from canada so i donno if HD is gonna carry the same products

.. i found that garage door sealer thing.. but looks like diamond loc does a better job

[Stripes]

who me? I haven't done it yet myself, waiting till the spring to do much of anything else but the interior of my car.

Oh. I saw the car in your sig and figured it was yours.

[SirSilvia]

hehe any sig pic i have is my car but i haven't had a car in my sig for a while now.

[White Comet]

hehe any sig pic i have is my car but i haven't had a car in my sig for a while now.

yeah that confused me cuz you don't have a car in your sig

[SirSilvia]

^ meaning I don't put pics of a car that's not mine is all.

[blacky_s13]

unless you mean type x, theres no difference between usdm bumpers and jdm ones

jdm meaning it came off of a s13 in japanand i kno theres no difference except for the half and half turn signals. its the bumper in my sig.its really clean

[driftneil]

well of course, but you had listed the bumper as though it was aesthetically different

Think he meant the o.p. Blacky_s13

but he quoted sirsilvia

[driftneil]

I see that now, maybe he's high?

[blacky_s13]

how much do u think i would need?and how much $ are you asking for?

[SirSilvia]

I think its like between $15-$20 a piece and not sure about shipping I can check that tomorrow. I think I might actually have a pic of the display it comes in. 1 sec

[SirSilvia]

can't find it, I'll be at UPS tomorrow anyway and see if I can ship something that long for a decent price. doubt very seriously that USPS would do it.

[driftneil]

Got a quote from ups for a dash to OK. they said $315 just for shipping!

[xrproto07]

Dam guys i work at THe Home Depot, i will for sure check tommorow while im at work to see if they have Diamond lock.

I was thinking maybe a couple of large poster tubes.

Does HD or Lowes have a process of transporting products from one store to the other? for example if I need a part from a local Autozone in Butler but the only one is out in Pitt or in Kittaning they have the part transported/shipped to my local store to pick up?

did ya find out???

[SirSilvia]

I found something similar to diamond lok at Lowe's$24.98 for 2 pieces, each of them 6'8" total length 13'4"look closely at the piece on the far left, you can trim those webbed looking pieces so that you can bend it inward.

[blacky_s13]

yea i saw that at the lowes that i went to...ya think it will work?

[SirSilvia]

it looked thicker than the diamond lok and a little wider.I think it would work, and would be even easier with a little torch persuasion.

[kraf]

hey which part of nc are you from and which home depot did you go to?
