Full Version: New Front Lip

So yesterday I met up with someone locally to buy a lip he had posted F/S over on the .org. Now, noone makes a lip for my car, so we, the Altima community have resorted to other options, namely the Honda Accord and Acura Integra for our lips. These lips fit with a little persuasion, but I wanted something else. I loved the Strada lip I had on my 1st generation Altima and wanted something similar and I found it. A lip from a 95-96 I30 will bolt right up. Now I'm assuming this means a 95-96 Maxima will work also, and theoretically the 97-99 as well for each. Thank you to Dan for selling me the lip. Now onto the pictures. . .

Before with everything layed out all nice nice. . .





During the install. (The ramps were there to support the lip as I drilled into the wheel well). . .





Note the jack stand kiddies, never work under a car, especially a lowered one with just the jack supporting it. . .



And now for the finished product. . .





Comments and criticism are welcome. Now I need to get used to driving with the lip on there. I was debating if I should get some wide spread LED's and mount them behind the holes in the lip to act as fog's and take out the ones I have in there now. Any thoughts on that as well?

That lip was modded to fit a 95-96 max. It was originally a i30t lip.


< I know the lip and the body shop who ORIGINALLY modded it before one owner cracked it by hitting a island lol.gif

What was modified to make it fit?
Nrw
The lip was sectioned because the i30t bumper is wider than the 95-96 bumper at the bottom.

I like it, had almost the same lip on my Eclipse
D. Snuts
Looks good but get it painted
Sully
ehhhh... not my style, but def paint it. As for the fogs, I think the idea you had (if you can cleanly fit them) should look MUCH better than the little AZ ones on there

It'll look even better once I pick it up from paint along with the sideskirts. But first I have to get my car up and running. See thread (http://www.reklessracing.net/forums/index....showtopic=13735)

That along with the sideskirts I picked up have been painted for a while now. I just haven't had a chance or the funds now to go pick them up.
