$2 Front lip project mounted. (pics!)

I snagged this lip off a 93-ish Protege at the wrecker's and it came out pretty decent.

It's a two part with a split in the middle so I joined the two halves, put some fiberglass cloth down to keep them together and filled in the curb rash spots. I then painted it with some of the low-gloss ceremic heat paint and it's resisting chipping pretty well so far.

The mounting was cake. I just drilled holes though the lip and into the buper while it was held up by masking tape and drove some fat sheet metal screws through. I then went along the back with some construction adhesive and it doesn't wobble or have any gaps.

Here's another closer view sine those two don't really show it too much because the ground is dark.

I just visited a u-pull yard looking for a few little things like relays and such and thought I'd give this lip a try.

Looks good. My '87 Sport lip is a bit beat up. Might have to give the Protege or 626 lip a try.

Thanks guys, glad you like it. It really does make it look so much more pissed off. Now I just need to finish the rest of my body work and find some aero flares.
