Default new front lip

how long will it take me to rip this off ? I give it about 2 weeks'



This front lip was for a 2003 Mustang Mach I. I had to do some modifying, but I got it to fit.

Looks kind of cool, is that an air intake in your drivers side foglight cover?

Reminds me of those "old school" flex dams I used to run on my Celicas in the early 80s.

Nice job on the fog light cover screen'd opening for the short ram. I have a prototype fibreglass duct that I was working on until I got my JDM foglights. I still may go into production w/ them once it stops raining.

What fogs are you running?

Yes, that is an air intake for the short ram. As for the driving lights they are cyber white by navigator

It adds the illusion of being three inches closer to the ground

nice

i think instead of cutting it in the middle, you should have added the pieces to the end. that way its sorta hidden. either way it looks pretty good.

Those foglights look tight!! any chance on giving us a little info on them?

I was looking for some foglights that would actually help me see better at night and I know the stock ones are basically just for looks, those look like they do a good job at night.

I know this is supposed to be about your lip but I want to know who did your fog light cover. I have the short ram intake and I want to open up the cover but I want it to look more like yours.

i may be wrong but by looking at it, it just seems that he cut out the center of the foglight cover and put a screen in. seems pretty simple to do.

but if i did that id have to do both i think so it matches

Looks pretty ghettoo. Throws off the nice look of your car.

read my post above, it looks like something anyone can do.

take foglight cover out
make a cut out
insert mesh filter in cutout section, secure it in somehow, glue or something
put foglight cover back in

yah, no offense. i like the foglight mod more then the lip.

i think the lip would look a lot better smoothed out (my personal liking anyway). if it looked like one big piece the look would flow a lot better but overall it's a good try at soemthing unique.
