Homemade Kouki lip, $20 > $280

[Persona]

Only pic i have in my possesion at the moment is one off a cell phone so i apologize for the quality, i'll be sure to get more/better pics later this week. With a actual camera.

Being in college as most of you know money is tight, so shelling out 280 -300 for a freaking lip is ridiculous, even if you have deep pockets. I got sick of staring at the 4x4 bumper up front and finally just experimented with this as the end result. Basically a exact copy of the og lip, but i opted not to do the aero slots because I just think thats too many holes up front.

Thanks for looking fellas

[LeroyBrown]

[Persona]

It definately doesn't look bad at all. How long did it take to make it?

[phleb]

That's really cool, what did you end up making it with?

Hard to tell since i had my whole engine bay ripped apart doing some other things and maitence bouncing around from thing to thing. But all in all probably just around 3-4 hours. Alot of it was just time fabricating it and making sure everything was lined up properly, cutting etc. All that fun stuff lol. I'm ultra anal about being precise whenver i'm making or modifying anything .

That's really cool, what did you end up making it with?

The all infamous diamond lock, just takes some creativity, a dremel, plastic cement glue, sandpaper and good hands to make it look right and not look like garbage.

Tough to say just because of how its installed. I can cut the pieces to the proper dimensions and create the corners and triangle piece in the middle etc. But then youd be left installing it on your bumper so it all curves properly etc. Unless you just shipped me your bumper which actually would be the best way Email me at [email protected] if youd want to chat.

p.s. Yes the car is dirty as heck, bout to wash + detail it once the sun calms down.









4x4 ftfLLLL!

[turbo2nr]

what material did you use?

[ThuG LyFe]

not bad but it'll never touch the oem.

[Gabes13]

At first glance, I thought it was oem.

[Flicktitty]

+1 for a nice homemade lip.

[daconkiftador]

To each his own, like i said i could've done the oem aero holes, but i opted not to. I'm not much for the oem lip, To me it just looks to upset from the bumper and seperate. Not flush or flowing well together etc.

thanks for all the positive comments!

@Turbo2nr, i'll post some info in the kouki thread for you and everyone else.

[EnjoiNismo]
