Teaser: Custom Front Lip (M3 GTR ALMS Style)

Definitive · 04-27-2010, 11:58 PM

Working on a new lip for my baby! Should be interesting. What do you think? It will be gloss black, the blue is the protective coating.

OMFG
this is exactly what Im looking for.
CAN NOT WAIT

armorrig · 04-28-2010, 02:43 AM

Hmm, it's kinda like the APR splitter, no? If it's thin enough, that'd be a nice add-on to an existing front lip spoiler.

sehrgut · 04-28-2010, 03:01 AM

This thing in gloss black.......................

.

How did you do it by the way? What material did you use? thanks

ooowowizstev · 04-28-2010, 03:03 AM

What sort of material will this lip be made out of?

This should be interesting.. looking forward to updates!

biglare · 04-28-2010, 03:46 AM

Very Cool!
Can't wait to see the finished product!

MDCTFTW · 04-28-2010, 04:29 AM

Looks like plexi glass from Tap Plastics.

I was thinking the same thing. lol TAP...know the place well.

Definitive · 04-28-2010, 10:06 AM

Thanks for the comments guys,

This is plexi, but not from TAP. Never heard of them. The final product will be made of something different if this doesn't hold up well enough.

Well see.

ChinoOrtega · 04-28-2010, 10:08 AM

looks like hamman, I like it man, nice work by the way

sehrgut · 04-28-2010, 03:34 PM

Cool, didn't know plexi could be used for this. Is plexi similar to FRP or fiberglass?

MShao825 · 04-28-2010, 05:05 PM

It looks like your car is sitting on a blue surfboard or something. It just looks like a flat piece of board that's under your bumper, not sure how that makes it a lip

Props for being creative and thinking outside the box though!

KiokenM3 · 04-28-2010, 05:05 PM

interesting. cant wait to see the finished product

M3Alpine · 04-28-2010, 05:15 PM

very nice... looking foward to seeing it finished

Orange fever · 05-04-2010, 08:18 PM

any updates ?

Definitive · 10-08-2010, 11:47 PM

Alright, I have an update! Did a test mount today. Looks great. I just had to peel that blue film off to see what it will really look like.

Need to shape it a little more, and polish it up.

ROBD314 · 10-09-2010, 01:19 AM

Looks good man ! How did you jack the car up ?? haha

1fastR1 · 10-09-2010, 06:46 AM

interesting

Definitive · 10-10-2010, 09:13 PM

Finished it up today!

Came out better than I ever thought it would. I still have to add some adhesive, but its pretty solid just with the 5 screws already there for the bumper.

Went for a little drive and Ill say that it will be more than solid at normal freeway speeds.

Ill get some better pics up this week.
