Nice job.

_HeC_ · 05-10-2015, 10:09 AM

quick mock up on the parts car

debating on chopping the posts down a bit so the lip will sit closer to the bumper...

sleepyalero · 05-10-2015, 11:54 AM

Do it. Be neat

tw0123 · 05-10-2015, 12:13 PM

How much of a gap are you going to leave between the lip and bumper Mike?

As much as I like the thought of being different, Im just thinking this will take it to the wrong direction of different because its a small gap as it is.

I get what your saying but the gap and the middle bar is my biggest issue with the front lip, but on a black car it doesn't bother me nearly as much so going to hold off on chopping it for now and see how I like it in person, don't believe Ive ever seen the kit installed on a GA in person... and I still want to go lower so lip might get in the way now

TruGreenGAGT · 05-11-2015, 09:36 PM

do this you have parts car anyways. cut the bumper so the SC/T lip posts slide up into the bumper. then you can see how it looks at different height without messing up the lip

TruGreenGAGT · 05-11-2015, 09:55 PM

no that was a lost drinking bet

Shade2012 · 05-12-2015, 10:14 AM

I'm getting pretty fuking tired of living in a college town. Came out to my car Sunday morning looking like this. Someone threw a beer bottle into my windshield, hitting the top part with the bottom of the bottle and then the neck of the bottle put a dent and chipped the paint on my roof. $900 in damages, luckily I have comprehensive insurance that covers vandalism, but I"m still paying a $250 deductible.

TruGreenGAGT · 05-12-2015, 10:20 AM

is that the bottle that was used? I mean you could file police report and see about prints to charge the person who threw it

Shade2012 · 05-12-2015, 10:26 AM

Yeah it is, Carbondale PD isn't the smartest. My insurance said they wouldn't go that far into the situation and to not even worry about the police report.

mfuller · 05-12-2015, 10:48 AM

Ouch, that sucks.
Seriously, why can't people respect other's property?
I hate vandals.
