Remember the Turbo Geo? We jumped some ditches with it, blew it up, then wrecked it into some trees, and then done our part to contribute to the recyling effort....crushed it.

Pics look good man. I like the front lip on your car, whats it made from?

vanilla gorilla

Its the infamous "Home Depot" lip, or "Lowes" lip in my case. Its some kind of rubber garage door seal weatherstripping deal. Just 2-sided taped it to the bumper.

Yeah dude, Thor likey. I especially like the GST project, looks like you guys did one hell of a good job rescuing/saving that poor car.

Thanks. Yeah its still a work in progress. I still cant believe how great the interior came out....did you see that carpet??? But on the whole the 2 tone grey turned out to be the perfect color combo. The car cranks and runs, but has a busted tranny.

did you see that carpet???
WOW. What did you use on that?! The carpet in my Cavy is just nasty and it would be sweet if I could clean the carpet (and the seats too). Good luck on the tranny swap. Is it your car or a friend of yours?

Its my good friend's car. Its the same guy that owns the 240sx and the black sierra. Im not sure what he cleaned the carpet with. He cleaned it on a day that I didnt help out. I know he used the pressure washer....I will have to ask him what kinds of chemicals he used.
And yeah, he bought a tranny off a guy on the internet, but the guy gave him the run around. So basically, my bud is $500 in the hole and still dont have a tranny. Anyways, paypal is supposed to be refunding the money.
This car has kinda been put on the backburner for the past like 3 months. I think hes loosing interest in it and wants to sell it, but Im trying to convince him to keep it.

Just got mine on yesterday, I put it on the opposite way from how you have it VG. I wanted that little flat peice on the front. It looks pretty good for like $12 or so.

Not bad at all.

Pimp. I dont see what you were talking about you mounted yours different then mine....looks the same to me.

SilvrEclipse
12-05-2008, 09:54 AM
It may be the same I cant really tell. I know some people mount it so that the lip is just the straight side. I thought that was how you did yours.

I think I may be making a new lip out of fiberglass in the next few weeks. I like this look but want to change it a little bit. Fiberglass would be easy to make one with and pretty easy to repair if it got busted.

Shpyder had a bad ass lip on his drop top GST, someone should dig around and find it... if I ever had a 2gb and wanted a lip thats what I would do. The Home Depot one looks good, but I could see it being a pain in the ass too.

SilvrEclipse

Shpyder's lip does look badass but its only because of the hood he has. On the stock hood it doesn't really look all that good. Ill find you a pic.

Wasn't this the lip?

I always wanted to see what any kind of lip would look like on a 2ga

vanilla gorilla

Thats a good looking lip. That hood has always looked shitty though...soo huge and awkward.

But in my case that lip wouldnt last for any amount of time, which was the whole point of the HD lip.

If my car wasnt so low, I would go with the Carbon Creations version of the RMDSM lip.
