The lip thread...

Nice work! Did you use rubber base board trim to make up the difference? Also, do you know if the lip was from a 90-91 or 92-93 da? There's a few aftermarket polyeurethane lips for cheap. Wondering if it'll work too.
Thanks for sharing the cool mod and you can't beat $1. LOL!

Of all the pictures I've looked up on google of the DA Integra front lip, none of them look like this. This looks like a Home Depot "Luda Lip". Do you have any pics of this on an Integra, I would like to see. Not trying to be an a$$, just curious.
This was the closest thing I found:
Edit: Nevermind, I found one:
Can't say that I like it, it looks just like a Home Depot "Luda Lip" but
for trying something new, and as long as you like it, thats all that matters.

Lol idk, but they both look exactly the same to me....I prefer the Stillen and Ionic lips myself, but to each, his own.

I think this is innovative and it looks great outside of one screw..big deal, it's an old car your just having some fun with, if it was a Porsche it would be a different story.
Personally I think you did some good work, most retrofit mods don't even come close to what we think they will.
I planned on using the Home Depot lip and I still do, it looks great, is easy to replace, cheap and effective...if you wanna biotch about it then buy me the expensive lip and I'll put it on, by the way I want it painted to match also so put up!

Ya know, I was thinking, if you wanna cover up the screw you could just take a small amount of body filler or epoxy and smear it across the top of it to make it smooth, then paint it black to match, you'd hardly even notice it all then and if you needed to get back at it just use an Exacto knive to clean out the grooves again...would only take a minute to do that.
Just an idea.

Out of curiosity, in order to get this same look. Couldnt you get a Rubber Base Board Molding from Lowes or Home Depot? Screw it on, or whatever you need to do, you could probably even find a wider one, to make it look lower. Just wanted to throw that in

Dude, this thread is awesome. I definitely like the idea of finding other lips that fit our max's. Cause the only one i know of is the stillen one (probably others i don't know about) but isn't it like $180 or something? I mean a 180 dollar lip probably doesn't look $179 better than yours....
And forgive me for asking...but what's the 'home depot lip' trick?

Im not trying to get post counts up, i have a life and can care less about post counts. Im just wanting to help, nothing more.
I think the Home Depot trick he was talkign about is the garage door extension he put on his integra lip. Nice job by the way!
I was talking about not even getting another lip from another car, and completely wrapping the underside of the front bumper with a vinyl base board, like you see in offices. I bet it would work. You can also buy them in different widths too, so you can determine how low you want it.

Damn why is everyone hating on my fogs starting to **** me off. Idc what others think dont judge from a couple pics they look nice in person....god. And no im dude not looking for stock fogs i choose the s14 ones for a reason. But anyways thanks to those who acutally said good things about lip again ill keep yall posted once im done.
Personally, I give you an A for effort, but C for execution. There has to be a way to not have the screw exposed like that. That's the deal breaker for me.

This is the basically the type of ish i used. You cut a rectangular piece out and bend it on top and bottom so the unbent section is a thick as your lip then you slide it on your lip and glue it on with superglue. Ghetto but good.

BTW, no matter how you say that, it makes since. Yes, "couldnt care less" makes more since, but either way, it has the same effect...

Don't get all butthurt because some people don't like the lip or your fogs. It's the internet, you gotta take the good with the bad.

I myself am one for little cheap mods that you do just because you can regardless of whether or not it looks like it cost you 100+ dollars, so i give you props. For a couple a bucks i think it looks awesome. good job

i hear the wanting something unique i like the lip because you didnt sell out first you went this way which tells me you just like modding i cant leave anything stock either
but just an idea but you should go back to depot and go to the plastic shelf stuff in hardware and get some of those black press in screw covers to shut the haters up nice lip man
