Did the "Home Depot" lip.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Yup, people are making a ton of money reselling garage door bottom seal on eBay. I got mine, plus self-tapping screws, plus double sided tape for a lot less than that. lol



Also, I've seen people fit this lip on many different cars.

It's a rubber seal, I don't think the paint will hold, and if it does, the second the "lip" bends, the paint will crack.

It's literally a Volvo lip. Comes of the 90 to 93 Volvo 940 and 740. But way more work is involved in it then the hd lips. Plus you need a heat gun. I got the idea from a 240sx friend, very very common on them. Plus you get a lip that looks stock for about twice the price of the hd lip. But....


An advisory to anyone who wants to do the Volvo lip. If you are lowered at all your lip will scrape EVERYWHERE!!! I have about 3 and a half inches ground clearance parked, and I have DF210s. Edit: unless you can drive a lowered car properly

curious

[coheed]

Honestly I dont feel like posting more pics here and steering this thread farther away from the original topic. If you want to see more pics of my car go look at some of my other posts in other threads. If enough people ask I might do a DIY for it.

SO your done posting in this thread?

i did the hd lip today it ran me about 20 bucks cause i had to buy two rolls of the double sided tape ($5 each) and the stripping ($10). i think it looks pretty cool but i dont like how i can see the double sided tape sticking out a bit. did i do it wrong?

im kind of nervous about it falling off but i have the screws and washers i just cant put them in because my drill doesnt fit under the car! i have to find time to lift it but i only have the emergency jack.

with the left over weather stripping, i sprayed all purpose primer and base coat on to it. the foam absorbed the paint and it looks like it could be promising.



ignore the messy part.. i was bending it to see what it would do but while it was wet and touched it to itself.

ANYWAYS

Im thinking about picking up another pack of weather stripping tomorrow and painting it properly to see how it works out.. but after painting my eyelids, a/c control panel, foglight bezels, part of my rear bumper, and the scraps i painted.. i might need to order another can of paint first.

What kind of tape did you use? I used the heavy duty outdoor tape that is supposed to hold up to 5 pounds, and after a year my lip is still there.

You also have to be sure to use rubbing alchohol on the spot where you are applying the tape so that the spot where you're using the tape is clean and is sticking to the surface of the car and not the dirt under the car.

Post some pictures! Let's see how it turned out.
