Just got my Mugen Lip, need some opinions.

[Kenjuro_2]

Hey was guys, I just got my Mugen lip delivered.

Im not sure if I should color match it or leave it black.

Also, for all the Members that have a Lip Installed, how did you go about trimming it? I went to a shop today to get a Quote in how much it would be to get it put on and painted, they said $300 bucks. I think thats a little too much. How did you guys do it or how much did you pay?

Let me know.

leave it black, but repaint it so the paint looks better

I would color match it but since you black tint and black grille it might look good

[01galant01]

color match, looks alot cleaner

[keta11]

color match it bro!!

[G-spot]

color match it, and then install it upside down like some other white 8g owner...

Upside down???

can anyone that has it upside down post a pic? and also someone that has it right side up?

I wanna see the differance.

[keta11]

upside down huh? never seen that before.

[SkylineG1]

NO!!!! Stop telling the dude crap Pete. INstall the lip like the tutorial says. In my opinion you should leave it black to match your grill

[Serstylz2]

I think upside down looks good as well

[pinoyesv6]

i'd install it, take it off, paint it and then put it back on. no use in painting it first and then install it if you're gonna have to modify the lip as part of the install.

the one that is upsidedown, isnt that bad looking, look for m-rods car

look in there

[guynlidia2006]

which way is it eaiser to put on... looks good both ways, hard to believe

[99 galant]

i agree, m-rod felt dumb for putting it on wrong, but it looks good that way, plus might not crack as easy too

[ericbla03]

Its already cracked.

and $300 to get it modified to fit, painted, and installed, is not a bad price at all.

[99 galant]

he said the bumper cracked before or something, but your right that it is

[greddy]

It depends on what you wanna do with the rest of your car, I have mine waiting in the garage waiting for installation, but I'm gonna paint mine gunmetal cuz it'll flow with my wheels, grill, blacked out headlights, and soon to be cf hood and trunk. If you end up painting your grill white, paint the lip white too, if not, leave it black.

[laosboyroy]

color match it. do it urself, use the 300 bucks buy a heat gun and a dremel and get paint mixed in a can. Oh yeah a case of beer too!

[dwjp90]

leave it black, it will flow wth your grill so much better, and black out your headlights as well

dude, he was basically being sarcastic.
wow :lol:

[Kenjuro_2]

Actually he wasnt being sarcastic since some people have done it.

[greddy]

Actually he wasnt being sarcastic since some people have done it.

It's been done, but imho, it looks like shit, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people share that opinion.

[01galant01]

Actually he wasnt being sarcastic since some people have done it.

One person has done it, and it was done mistakenly. But if that suites your taste then go right ahead.

It doesnt look that bad but....it kinda defeats the purpose of getting the lip in the first place especially if you plan to add side skirts in the future...

[8g831]

i would just leave it black thats what imma end up doing later on..also where did you get your lip from?..

[mitgalantes]

[8g831]

okay cool good lookin out

[Kenjuro_2]

Yeah from Ebay, it was 80 Shipped, it was here in 2 days.

[SkylineG1]

Was pulling into a spot today & went a hair too far I thought I cracked the lip but I didn't :) you'll be so paranoid once it's on.

[bellefontaine187]

am i the only one who has added more material to the lip by using fiberglass so that it doesent look twisted from the sides? i think i might be..lol every picture ive seen looks just like mine did when i first did it (looks good from the front but twisted whn looking at it from the side)

[Kenjuro_2]

Figured out what to do, mods please close.

[E_Emerson88]

leave it black and if you dont like just paint it.

[RedGalant2k1]

Its already cracked.

and $300 to get it modified to fit, painted, and installed, is not a bad price at all.

Yup $300 is great considering they have to fit, refit, finalize, paint, and install.

[platano]

will this lip fit fairly well on an Old style vr4 bumper?

[milo111000]

i was really thinking about that.... might look pretty decent.. fitting? if you're good with fiber glass, anything will fit.

[Kenjuro_2]

I was gonna get this done with Tax returns but we are only getting around $1200.00.

[Frankv]

IMO color matched would keep that clean aggressive look on your G.

Its funny cause its true.
