G - Spot's Mugen Lip Install (Black headlights added)

[Kalamidad]

Well, Peter is sitting right next to me...here are the pics from his Mugen Lip install we did earlier today. I really like the way it came out.

Enjoy..
Here are the tools used.

This is how we screwed it onto the center vent. We pre-driilled all the holes to prevent cracking.

To melt the area where the small vents are at, we used the wooden planks to press in toward the bumper as we heated the area evently. Try not to keep the gun in the same area because it will make the lip bubble up. After you heat while applying pressure, keep the pressure on the lip onto the bumper and pour the water on it to cool it fast. Don't let go, until the lip is cold and in the shape that you want it.

This is how we held it in place after molding it onto the bumper...

This is how it looked before cutting and melting the ends...

After cutting...

Before bending, we cut an triangle into the to of the lip to allow it to bend flushly. We also cut the horizontal lip under the lip to prenvent it from bulging up at the bottom.

How it needed to be bent...

Damn, looking very, very tight!!! :thumbsup:

On a side note, how come all the damn sub-divisions in Texas look the same https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

[ChuloMxcn]

Looks real good, I think that one might have gone on better than mine :shock: Now all you have to do is watch out for the parking bumps!!

[IceDouTGaLanT]

looks great this should be a sticky in the toutoral section...Since So many people ask how to to do this over n over agian...Just post what model the lip is from and tools...and were set

[VegasMatt]

Looks good except for the "Powered by Mitsu" in the grill.

[Serstylz2]

I think it needs to be colormatched...

And Ujash there is a tutorial, but they took it to the next level and its a much cleaner install

[Kalamidad]

[size=18]<span style='color:red'>MODS, PLEASE MOVE THIS TO THE TUTORIAL FORUM AND MAKE A STICKY?</span>

[mrjaydeeone]

looks good nice work
moving to the tutorial section

[neel9]

damm everyone one has these lipss now.. looks clean.. have broke 5 of those already https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

just to give credit where credit is due. we did look at Arel's tutorial.

[furiousgtz]

oh this is nice this gives me idea. i want to get one.

[mitsuree8thgen]

i'm really felling the lip. and the best part about it is since we got nearly the same color car, i know exactly what it'll look like. i think i'm gonna go for it.

[Jet Black]

Love how it looks. Very subtle (despite the diffrent colors).

[mitsuree8thgen]

is that a jdm or usdm lip?

[G-spot]

Mugen style Integra lip 99-01

[mitsuree8thgen]

so does this mean that any 98-01 integra lip will fit? https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif

[Censee]

i like the fact u didnt paint the entire corner black,, looks alot better when u leave some chrome on it like u did

[G-spot]

so does this mean that any 98-01 integra lip will fit? https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif
yeah, it seems that the mugen style looks closely resemble like the jdm vr-4 design so many had opt that lip. It would be nice to see a type-r or a ctr design on an 8g

i kinda like the type r. i might give it a try. then i'll get side skirts and a rear lip (all black), paint my spoiler black, paint my mirrors black, and tint my windows.....will the rear lip fit the same?

black lips = :thumbsup: with some black headlights.

Black mirrors and spoiler - :pukey:


We don't know about the rear lip. But my guess is not. I'd encourage you to be the first to try. An older maxima might work though.

you don't think the blak mirror and spoiler would go well with a black big mitsu logo vinly like the evo has?

[Kalamidad]

the evo wing is not black it's CF. If you where to paint it black to match the lip kits than it would look kinda cool. But the mirrors are a no-no any way i look at it.


and enough thread stealing....

[mitsuree8thgen]

my bad. it was accidental......uh, nice headlights g-spot. those the ebay ones?

[02galant]

Paint that grill black and that would complete it

no, we painted black.

[DrewPinoy85]

noice! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

hmm, i kinda like the emblem.
Although, black mesh and color matched would look 100xs better imo....

anyone with the 02 front try this yet?

I did it last summer and gave the bumper to Shortdogg2k05. Much harder to install than this, took me about 2 1/2 weeks to get it right compared to 3 1/2 hours it took for the 99-01 bumper 8) .

[shortdogg2k05]

Looks good Pete and very aggressive. What is next?

[glantv699]

Paint that grill black and that would complete it

he said it....or color match it

[glantv699]

Now that's what I'm talkin' bout! A true man of action.

just wondering, is there a clear coat on it or no? I can't tell from the pics

[Serstylz2]

if it were my car.. the lip would be color matched.. and the mesh would be black.. the black n gold scheme would be fiyah...

[Kalamidad]

Peter...how about some daytime shots?

[The F.B.I]

would the 98-01 type-r lip require the same mod to fit the 8g i have an 02 and i cant decide from type-r or mugen lip, i was thinkin the type-r since i havent seen anyone with it on there 02...

Pete, it doesn't look very glossy...could it be the quality of the picture?

why would you post it there?
I wouldn't have said it was an integra lip, just a Mugen Lip.
Seems like they are ripping you a new one.

Yeah they are. There were a couple of people on there giving props where it was do. But you got to admit it is a touchy topic, Mugen on a Mitsu. We would give them shit if they had ralliart anything on the honda. I would have just presented pics of your car and left it at that and let them guess on what it was. When we rolled up at the Zero meet that Saturday you saw the looks on a lot of their faces. They were shocked to see nice looking galants that were not missing hub-caps. We are highly overlooked in the import world and no matter what we do someone we be there to criticize.

[Kenjuro]

Where do you guys get the Lips from and for aroudn how much?
I looked on ebay and didnt see any, only some TYPE R and also MU type, whatever that is, its maybe Mugen, but I just wanna be sure.

MU on short, stands for mugen. It may be a honda thing.

[icEbErg629]

Yep, looks a lot better if lip is color-matched with the front bumper. Otherwise, your front will look like a bump car.

[Sillyasianz]

yea, color match it.

I put mine on over a month ago. I didnt like it as a add on lip, so i sent it to a homie to mold and color match. I'll get it eventually. No rush, its all for free. LOL. I still have my USDM fitment Cyber 2 front end, so im rolling on that. Ill post pics when I pick it up. But looks good.

[pinoyesv6]

i didn't cut the triangle at the top of the lip like this

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/6/web/402000-402999/402847_260_full.jpg

i just cut the lip at the bottom of the lip and then bent the lip and IMO it looks much better

Ya that looks alot cleaner...
