Forgive me if I failed in searching but I couldn't find anything.

Are those flaws found on the bumpers sold on ebay, like this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...Q5fAccessories

Also, I know that it needs to be modified for 07/08's to line up with the hood, but what about the headlights?

Ryaliu

That is hard to answer but why not save money and keep the oem front end, and in the future get a 6.5 lip from Edgar. You have a pretty nice set-up, im pretty sure your car can pull off the gtr bumper just as long as the imperfections(if any) arent too noticeable.

rock_drummer

Thanks man. Yeah, I'm just lookin at all my options. I think the GTR bumper would look way better but at a bigger cost. $300 doesn't seem bad though for the gtr bumper, and I could probably pick it up and hopefully wave the $125 for shipping.

the bumper is the same. thats Edgars car they are showing in the ebay pic. as for fitment on an 07/08..... as far as i know, i dont think it will line up correctly. they were trying to get a group of 6.5ers together that would make the group deal for production to happen... but it fell through... i think that it wouldnt be worth the time and money that it will end up costing to modify it... i agree, it will look amazing! but it will cost a lot of money to get it fabricated to the 6.5 gen.

i got tired of waiting for the lip, that i decided to do the home depot lip

rock_drummer

ill put some up later. i have to go fix it. i installed it the wrong way. but it still look pretty cool.

edit: only 2 pics i took yesterday. the bottom part should of gone on top. thats why it looks bent

just google home depot lip and go into the srt4 forums. thats where i got the idea. and best part of it, its only 10 bucks

edit: heres the link http://www.srtforums.com/forums/f75/...ot-lip-379671/

rock_drummer

damn that looks dope!!! dtruc your car looks a million times better than how you had in your sig! Im gonna be doing that for sure!!

Do you have any pointers or anything?

thanks dstruc!! amazing job!!! you saved me like a thousand bucks im sure

rock_drummer

and did you paint your foglight cover things? they look sick.

dstruc

iTrader: (4)

thanks dude. yeah i need to update both orgs. ive done a bunch of stuff to it now. im installing some led strips on the headlights where the yellow reflector is at tomorrow. yeah i also painted my fog covers a while back. no pointers. it was very very easy. took me 25 mins and at work too. lol. oh the only thing i did was buy the 15 dollar tape cause i knew i was gonna mess up.

sick looking maxima dstruc. i think i got a new mod coming up this weekend lol

kronickz

if you do it the right way, the lip is only going to be half of that size. Just a heads up. I did it to my GTR bumper a while back.

rock_drummer

I think he used something else, Kronicks. You probably used the rubber weatherstripping. Dstruc used that stuff that seperates rocks and stuff, for yards. Whats that stuff called again dstruc? I think you edited where you told us what you used.

thanks again!

rock_drummer

wait dstruc you did use the yard stuff right? not the weatherstripping stuff? I swear that you said you used that **** that seperates rocks and stuff for yards.. but now i dont see that post. im just wondering cause that link you posted talks about garage door weatherstripping.

i just want it to be as big as it is in your pics.

thanks
mike

dstruc

iTrader: (4)

lol. i used something called bottom garage door seal. let me see if i have a pic of it

edit: found the pic

rock_drummer

lol thanks man i must have been really high last night when i thought you used the **** that you use for yards.

so when you put it on upside down, was there a big difference in size? cause kronickz said it will be half the size when applied right.

dstruc

iTrader: (4)

yeah i tried it the other way and it looked kinda small for me so i switched it back like in the pic. i like that better

rock_drummer

nice! thanks man, you rock! so do you mount it on the outside of the bumper?

dstruc

iTrader: (4)

like in the pic. you mount it underneath the bumper. just follow the bumper lines

rock_drummer

Here's a pic of mine:

(i think)I got a different type of weatherstripping than you did, dstruc. I didn't mean to, but I didn't notice until I finished. I love the way mine looks. It said it was closer to 2.5in, I think. And I glued the top of it directly to the bottom of my bumper, so the full 2.5in is showing. I'm still going to paint it, and maybe adjust it a tiny bit, but for less than $15 bucks im very satisfied! Thanks dstruc!

Nismo4life07

iTrader: (1)

wow.. u glued it??? you dont care about the condition of your bumper???

rock_drummer

yup. It could come off it I wanted it to, but not by accident. And if I wanted to take it off(like when max2damax's lip is ready), i'll just sand off the remaining glue residue.

Nismo4life07

iTrader: (1)

I'd be afraid of doin that... i mean sanding the bumper at all cuz it scratches the paint.. and drillin holes into it... i mean, it looks good, no doubt about that... but just me, i wouldnt drill or glue anything on.. but seriously it looks good.

rock_drummer

Thanks! I'm not too worried about who's going to be looking under my bumper. Especially since from now on, there will either be the home depot lip or the max2damax lip covering it.

rock_drummer

also, like pretty much everything, it looks a million times better in person.

Nismo4life07

iTrader: (1)

true story.. didnt think about that.. well, awesome! lol.

rock_drummer

Thanks!!

rock_drummer

I'm gonna go get some more of the stuff I used, today, so i'll post some pics of what it looks like soon. now im getting it for what its meant for-my garage door! lol

dstruc

iTrader: (4)

DAMMMMMM. that looks sick dude. i looks way better than mine. which one did you use? i might want to change it. looks way better than mine

rock_drummer

Thanks man!! I'm glad we managed to help eachother out.. you had the idea of using the home depot lip, but i smoked a joint on my way to home depot and ended up getting the completely wrong thing, lol.

Here's a picture of the stuff I got:

(there was some other stuff that looked identical to this but might be a little thicker, or stronger. if you see it, get it.)

I did the sideskirts with the new stuff I bought last night:







thanks again dstruc! hope that helps.. good luck! the stuff I got was somewhere between $10 and $15 and I got 2. for the lip, you will just need one.

dstruc

iTrader: (4)

holy ****. is that a new body kit. lol. jk man. it looks sick. never thought of doing the skirts. you just gave me another great idea. im off to hd tomorrow. that new setup makes your car look like if it was lowered. very nice. question? is that the foam type(soft kind)?

rock_drummer

yes, its foam. Foams the best IMO cause if it scrapes, nothing bad happens. The worst thing that could happen is they get ruined and you are out $10.

rock_drummer

Thanks by the way! I'll try to get a walkaround video sometime today or tomorrow.

rock_drummer

Oh, and dstruc I'm anxious to see what your new great idea is, so keep me posted and lemme know if I can help!

peace
