Diy Universal Lip

[Yo-Yo]

I've looked at this thread a few times and am considering doing it to my 33 instead of a Nismo style lip which is more expensive and I'm not really sold on.

Has anyone been running one long term? Or did everyone give up on these??

hey man, I bought my rubber lip from ebay a while ago, couldn't tell you the exact vendor but there's heaps on there

held on just using double sided tape and still going strong after 6 months through the winter, rain & highway driving

if it starts to fall off, which I don't see happening anytime soon I can always reapply double sided tape

is there another group buy open for this, or do i need to source it out myself now? lol

And has anyone applied this lip to a black r34?? I want to see what it looks like before i do it haha

Thanks Charles and YoYo, good to see they're still working.

Yep I'd be keen in another GB again if others are.

just bought some off Amazon - a16ft length of the Frost King stuff with 11M's of 3m Red double sided tape for $37 delivered to my door.

I wouldn't wait, just buy it.

How are you getting it shipped to Oz?

How are you getting it shipped to Oz?

I dunno? Boat? Plane? I let Amazon worry about those details.

Postage was $10 and all I know is that it's estimated to arrive 10 days from now.

Huh? I thought Amazon don't do anything to Australia, only to US?

A year or two ago I had to get the stuff I ordered on Amazon shipped to a specialist outside-US shipping company and then onto myself - comGateWay.

[SMOKEYV35]

Amazon is the largest online retailer on earth - pretty sure they can post internationally.....It's a brave new world out there!

I just got confirmation yesterday that it's en route and have a tracking link, so will let you know if it makes it!

The stuff off ebay is totally different to the ones I bought lol. The ones of ebay is THICK and stiff, compare to the ones from Amazon, is soft and bendable, hence why the ebay ones would start to fall off because it's too heavy and when you drive, it fights against the wind

Of course Amazon send stuff to Australia, but just depends on what. You are half right though, there's a lot of stuff they don't send to Australia. But the lips isn't one of them

I just found a new spare roll at home, if anyone wants it for $25? PM me

Hey guys! There is a place in America that sells this stuff called EZ-LIP my mate got it a couple off months a go and it looks great, it comes with double sided tape on the rubber strip he also done his side skirts.

Got my lip on yesterday night. Really happy with how it turned out.

Big thanks to Charles89 for the help too.

Update.

Mine lasted 4 days before the stuff ripped to shreads going into a servo, it was double sided taped and screwed on.

My cars ride height from the lower part of the bumper to the groubd was 160 mm, so not overly low.

I did look good for 4 days though but served no other purpose as it was too flexible for any form of aero.

A waste of money is my official opinion.

I should have bought 6 pack with the money.

Bummer Mark

Mine is still going strong even with a run in the mountains and a few higher speed runs.

This weekend's test is getting washed. Fingers crossed.

[The Bogan]

High speed runs was not the problem, I went to the drags and got a 134 mph trap speed and it held fine.

The problem is the spongy/soft rubber compond it is made from, as soon as it grounded it tore all of the RHS off and chewed out the rest, the top of it was still attached to the bumper, the lower section of it was dragging behind.

There was only about 400mm of it on the LHS that survived unscathed.

Be wary of any slightly steep driveways or inclines.

[copycutter]

I heard there's a more "solid" seal that can be used instead of this one if you ever get to doing it again. Not so soft and spongy.

[suwidji]

finally got around to doing mine.

Haven't seen a black 34 do it yet, so i took my chances lol. went really well, though i wish i had an aftermarket lip that I could've put on and then put this garage seal one on. looks kind of plain.
