Well for those who don't know, I had planned to fill up the 2 holes on the RS1 lip. Anyways, after finding some free time I thought I'd give this project ago.

The tools and materials used were: fiber glass, sand paper, a drill, metal mesh fencing, some power drills, a butcher knife, primer, FM paint, and clear coat.

Here goes...
Started by giving the some foundation and than fiber glass.



This is the metal mesh thing...


Ok after a ridiculous amount of sanding and filling in some cracks, I thought it was ready to prime.




It looked nice primered. Now its time for FM paint and clear coat...

As you can see, there are like scratch marks in which I'm not to happy with.

FM paint matched though, I think, I haven't mounted it onto my car yet.



In all... I'm not too happy about the finished product. I felt as though I could've executed it better. Now my plan is to just mount the lip for now until I could get an OEM lip.

 

looks like the front lip for the tiburon

 

wow...that looks good ....like the viniati fierce lip......

what did you use to mount the metal mesh to the front lip? looks like industrial staples.

post a diy!!!!! i have some fiberglass over here too and have been looking to do that project....

will the vents crack if scraped on speed bumps/ steep driveways?

 

dont be too hard on yourself, doesn't look too bad imho. post some pix when it is mounted, im curious to see how it looks.

 

Very creative! I really like that. And it doesn't look too bad. I can't wait to see some installed pics!

 

I don't think it looks to bad. Props for trying something different.

 

I agree with previous posters, it looks hot! Put that b*tch on and let us see how it looks! =)

 

I coulda sold you my Viniati Fierce front I have in my basement, lol same thing basically. looks good though for doin it yourself

 

no offense rs1 lip owners, but I always hated those holes... this is a huge improvement. Really dont be too hard on yourself but be prepared to do some wetsanding and polishing to match the factory gloss. Post pics when mounted!

 

i honestly hated the front lip of this kit very much. all it gave me was problems

 

Looks good, lets see it mounted. take some day shots

I love the RS1 lip, I hate those vents on the side don't know why they are there...always wanted them gone! good job!

 

looks really nice...

 

Exactly what I waned to do w/ that RS1 lip...I never liked those fugly vents!!!

Where's the pics w/ it installed???

 

Mounted pics will be on soon... I ended up taking off the lip and sanding it down once again and repriming it. This project is costing more than I expected. This time it's not gonna be FM paint =/.

 

Looks good man. I want to see it in person.

 

i like it
ben waiting for somebody to do it

 

Its in the shop for paint right now b/c I got lazy, pics will be updated Friday.

i wanted to do that to my old one but ended up getting the oem kit
