got one in my build thread for s5, i coulda done a better job but was lazy.


i recomend it for people with a stock ish car that wont be able to afford a real front lip for awhile.

yep thatd be me ..im on a tight budget atm but still wanna do little mods to the car

it was only like $10 so yea i guess its worth it lol. the garage seal is rubber so its bendable and shit. you just need self tapping screws to secure it properly. its really not all that hard to put on. took about 15mins to do.

Searchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I got my pignose lip for $10 bucks, so do the math. Go to a wrecker, and repaint with a spray can, easy as fack.

hell nah that shit is expensive as fack

junkyard fee - $2
lip - $10
spray paint - $6
screws - $2

=$20

I happen to own a Volvo 940 and took the lip from it and installed it in my vert. It did require some cutting but no a lot. It came out really nice.

^ Picsssssssssssssss

i think Grip's fc has the same volvo lip

volvo lip is where it is at.....I am glad I introduced it to the fc world
*note sides were not bolted down*

chevy truck lips!!!! i have put many of these on my fc s4 and others s5 and 240sx. i dont pay for mine lol i just take it off the truck. But after seeing the 626 lip im going for that next lol

heres some pics

i like that better than the volvo cause it looks cleaner with the stock body. the volvo ones you need skirts or TII skirts with side diffusers

The 626 lip needs a bit of modification to fit properly, sides aren't long enough. But when done right it looks like it could have been a stock option.
740 lip does need some supporting body mods to look just right, but then again the lip itself fit's perfect.

Personally i'm going with the 740 lip and RE-A diffuser, should look good, tho i might need a skirt eventually.

the volvo lip and t2 sideskirts

with these

would look soo sick with a diffuser. straight up clean street car look

My Volvo lip is exactly the same but it was longer. I had to cut 3" out of it

The stock lip extends just as far as the 626 lip.

My lip was off of a 940

The 626 lip in the picture I posted had one hole modified. It will bolt up to stock. Jetta mk3 lips work but I bet they'll need some modification. A s-10 lip would make the car a street sweeper.

my homemade lip
 

Well, this one is a little more labor intensive, but i made this in my garage with some fiberglass stuff from wal-mart, some styrofoam from hobby lobby, and aluminum foil and stuff... sorry i don't have any pictures at the moment but you can kind of see it in this video.

It's flexible enough not to crack. I scrape it leaving my driveway all the time, and it's handled it just fine.

I had to drill 10+ of my own holes in the 626 lip for mine to line up with the stock mounting position. I don't know how you only had to modify 1 hole.


Thats the best looking lip I've ever seen for the s4.

sweet man, defintly lookin for 626 lip then. and ya lmao it is a street sweeper :lol: i was thinking of naming my car bull dozer haha this is a good thread

BBerry's real homemade lip is pretty sweet.

i thought about making a front diffuser for the s4's but it was harder than i thought.

Made using black diamond edging. its used to edge out garden/flower beds.

these garden edgers and garage door guards look pretty much just like that, at least go for a lip from another car and make it work

Well, at first. Then finished product had 3 holes modified two near the brake ducting and one in the middle.

I agree with rob. A lip from a different car is Ok but these damn garden lips... it belongs in your yard not on your car.

where do you guys find your 626 lip at? junkyard? internet?

Junkyard. If you tell them its a lip from a front bumper, its $8. If its "miscellaneous trim" its $6.

it was free for me since i do landscaping but i do agree i have a 240 lip just havent had the time to install it. ive tried to find the volvo lip but nothing local. so for now this works.

I was talking about the sides, wouldn't know about a stock lip tho.

ill prly get a 626 lip for now and get a nice one later

Yeah I was talking about the sides too. The stock lip doesn't extend all the way to the wheel well on the sides, just like the 626 lip.

What yr 626 lip?narrow it down a little!!

^^ what he said .. i maybe going to pull a part this weekend

That's why I said that because pull-A-part has about 20 different yr 626's!!

need some nice wheels and lowering to compliment the lip. =p

No idea but its easy to spot haha. Theres tons of pics of the 626 lip in question on the forums, just do a little searching.

http://mustardcat.brinkster.net/p3g/...axda626lip.htm

found it!! 87-91 626

happy hunting fellahs!!

you da man..now if we run into eachother into pap this weekend and we see the exact same 626 with lip i might be fighting for it ;) jp

Yup! a bad fight indeed!!

These pics were in the link you posted & I swear that these lips looks like they were made out of 3" black cove base. I say this because I installed flooring for 4 years & that's what it appears to be. I would not have used the two 4' section though, he should have got a roll & cut the length he needed. Or at the split he could have cut the edge at a 45 & reverse cut the other side so the over lapped & used adhesive to bond hiding the joint.

This is Johnsonite Cove base / wall base
