the 89 hatch is still getting painted... i know... it was supposed to be done over a month ago.... anyways i picked up a 91 nose, no more pig... what is the lip everyone is always talking about putting on these cars? the nose i bought had a 2" black trim strip on th bottom. is that the lip everyone wants?

where do i get the cool lip and what does it cost? does it come painted or what?

alot of people like my lip:D (Nissan Motorsports) but they've discontiuned it, and are extremely rare... I've had mine for about 2 years now... its made for Nissan by Xenon, so you might try a Xenon dealer

Chuki! bah! Pig nose with a lip is the best.

Hey Dave man haven't seen you on in a while. Maybe if I went to 240 gen? Anyways I will have them mud flaps on soon. Gotta fix one of them then I'll post up some pics.

If you gotta go other than the pig this is what i like the most.

OK... So I really don't want to get another bumper cause I just bought the 91. Should I just put that little black strip back on the lower section of the stock bumper?

I still have the pig nose and it is being painted to match the car so if needed in the future we can swap back.

Yeah I have been away from the boards a bit, but XNS my son has getting his posts up... it is his car after all... we are deciding what car to build up next. Our possible options include building an insane baja bug with a stroked 2180 or my personal fav a 74' FJ40 land Cruiser with a chevy 350 swap and 4"lift... I think those are the coolest "jeeps" around.

I may come back to the Nissan family my self as well and buy one of those monster QX56 things... after the tax write off I can own one of those for about $25k... I like em... get rid of the Navigator...

Anyways... back to the lip... any other sugesstions?

bah, you don't need a 350 in a Land Cruiser.

Stick with the family and get a 22r! with a turbo!

Nav's suck, it's just nowhere near as cool as the 'Slade.

need I mention the blackwood?

not to flame, I just like the Caddie's styling way better.

and I hate "mutts":D

the Baja bug sounds like a winner though, or perhaps an 80's Turbo Toyota 4x4 set up for Baja Racing

I'll have to say the GarageDefend lip is the very bestest. Nice and smooth, no jagged edges with bunches of holes in it...
