need help choosing: lip or bumper

need help choosing: lip or bumper

dont know which one to get, bumper looks better but my friend told me that aftermarket bumpers shake when driving on the freeway? is this true?

i dont know...

dont get the bumper, save yourself the headache. trust me.

long explaination short, OEM bumper fits... so... i would say go for a lip

thanks i asked a bunch of other ppl and they said the same. i'll stick to getting the lip. [=

You can cut it or just paint that part black.

Get the one I have.

is this the one you have?

i can do local pickup and maybe get the price for less than $100 [=

i dont really like how the stock bumper look like in the center
i see how you have a big hole in the middle, did you cut it or something?

hope he makes one for the 01 02 ha3

He doesn't make them. He's is merely a distributor. I doubt the company will make ones for the 01-02. Maybe you can to a 98-00 conversion! haha Then you can have bixenon HID's too!

imma do local pickup too, doesnt live very far from me.
howd you cut the bumper?

I removed the bumper and used a hacksaw and lots of patience. Make sure you cut it at the right angle so it doesn't look funny.

did u had to shave it afterwards to make it looks smooth?

What do you mean by shave? If you mean sanding then yes. I'm still not done with fixing the bumper yet. I have spots to fill in.

Sure. 50 + shipping sounds good to me. I just want it out of here. I've been thinking of throwing it out, but it's such a waste.

Good luck with that. Fiberglass bumpers have no forgiveness when it comes to road conditions. I can almost guarantee that you will need to repair the bumper at least once after you get it.

Maybe twice cause I'm sure my wife will want to drive the car......lol

I was gonna do the lip on my car but i decided to get a full body kit with the front bumper of a 2001 conversion..... but never heard about it shaking but i do know its needs work to make it fit........

funkykit that doesnt fit is a pain in the ass...get the lip man for sure!

I've been through the body kit phase. I still have the old bumper sitting in my garage collecting dust. Believe me. Go with a lip kit instead.

I was trying to find a lip kit for a 2001 nose..... I'm gonna change my headlights out and was gonna do the lip deal but seems the only way to go is the whole body kit.....It would have cost me new for bumper and lights and fog lights about $700..and thats with out the lip and painted... I can get a kit for $300 to $600 ......

Yup, that's fine. But you might want to primer the lip first. The paint will stick on the lip better with primer, but it's not really necessary.

i got my lip yesterday for $75 [=
hoping to put it on sometime soon


Question:
what kinda paint should i use so the lip won't crack overtime by itself?

P.S. im just gonna do clearcoat + white paint of my car color, thats fine right?

well i wanna do it myself but i heard for white cars the color's hard to match and shit
so i dont really know what to do
