yeah but thats a pignose lip, im looking for a home made one, like with diamond lock or something. the ghetto home depot style lip is what im looking for, but on a pignose cause i have yet to see a homemade lip on a pignose.

yeah i know about the diamond lok lip, the garage door bottom lip, the baseboard molding lip, and the garden edging lip, but i am mostly looking for a pic of it done to a pignose bumper so i can see how it looks before i try it.

as far as parts go, no one around here has anything, so i cant get a lip there, and the junkyard is already cleaned out. the 1st thing to go on most of the cars is the whole front end.

i just went ahead and tested it out myself with the diamond lok. i dont think it turned out too bad, i havnt finished it yet, i still have to do the little piece on the ends of each side. but heres what it looks like thus far.

thanks, its called diamond lok, they only sell it at homedepot. its also called brick pavers edging. itll be in the gardening section outside near all the bricks. its about 8 bucks a strip. to hold it up, i drilled some holes in the bumper, got some fat screws and some large washers and drilled it in. and on the part thats on the fender, i used the 2 screws that already go into the fender.

or instead of adding pieces for that last 5-6"s on each side I cut it angled up on my buddies RX-7 it turned out really nice. Just a thought
