Ok im finished .....but the cool thing is i cant up pics at this time caz our digi got stolen from the office Well and im gone buy a new one next month maybe if my father dosent buy a new one sooner...but the bumper is done . Just have to mold it to the body and then the paintjob...lol the funny thing is that i have only spent about 80$ on all the things from the foam to the fiberglass. All the fiberglass glues and tools cost only 38$...wiggy stuff i thought it would cost me about 200$.......hope to get some pics up soon...it look OK

Hey, ya man, common, post some pics, we really need 2 c it.

I was looking 4 some kewl side skirts 4 my '91 Accord Coupe. But when i didn't find wat i was looking 4. I made mine the same way, with foam.

I compleated the left side, now i just need 2 paint it & install it. As soon as i install it, i'll get some pics 4 sure.

lets get some more tips/suggestions in here. i bought a block of foam to practice my skills( or lack there of). but i'm really pumped to start making my lip. can anyone think of a shortcut on making it considering i'll still be using my front bumper. is there a way i can just make a mold of the car, and then work with that somehow?
ps. that is not my car in the pic, but is exactly how it looked on day 1. now i have a DIY type R grill and i cleared out the headlights. i also have a sunroof.

First of all id post some pics but i dont have a digi at the moment got stolen and all my money has gone in the car and tools. But as soon as i get a camera il get the pics up.
There are 2 ways u can make it 1) like the do it in the shops....then u have to add ur modification to the bumper that u made from the foam..and cover the foam part with somekind of material like some kind of tape so that the glue wount melt the foam. attach it to the stock bumper and then cover the bumper with fiberglass and then u have a mold that u can use to make lot of bumper with the lip molded to the bumper and with no mistakes ..u just have to paint it but i took a shortcut not easy but i tought id take it cas im just gone build 1 bumper....the same steps but i used the mold ....ya it need a lot of work cas there are a lot of mistakes on the front side of the mold ..but its smooth as hell inside the mold ....but if ya got the time...its worth it ....but if u want to make a lot of $ then use the mold to make em.
hope this will help u ...there shold be a lin on the first page there u will se how some guy build his ford a lip.

how did you stick the foam on to your existing bumper w/out ruining the paint on it? .. I want to try this out, but i dont want there to be scratches on my paint when i take the foam off if i cant get the foam shaped how i want it.

Hey, I 2 want 2 know how u managed 2 hook up ur creation 2 ur ride. I did make a side wing 4 my '91 Coupe, but right now im just trying 2 figure out how i would go about attaching the thing 2 the car. I have some ideas, but i want 2 get all the ideas there could b, b4 i actually do start doing nething.

This wing i made is like almost perfect, so i don't want 2 ruin it.

Waiting 2 hear u, and pics will just make things e-zier.

Thanks,

I've started my project!!!!
I'm going to make my own front and rear lip for my 97 civic. ohhh man, i can't wait for it to be finished. but i am far far away from that. i barely just started. this is going to be my winter project, so i will roll out this spring with front and rear lips that no one in the world has!!! talk about one of a kind. i'll keep updating you guys, but beware, it will take a bit. i have 2 projects i need to finish first before the fall and they are painting my exterior trim (mirrors, door handles, side moldings, and skirts) to match my color, and then i'm redoing the interior as well. wish me luck!!!

[lkailburn]

this is what i want to make. same as ctr lip, but has a little more style to it. one of a kind!

[lkailburn]

i'm also thinking of making new skirts, if i do, they will be almost the same as stock(just to keep things easy and simple) but i will carry that design onto them towards the back

[Deadboy]

Well for the bumper i and u could use the old bumpers parts but for the side skirts ...i used the existing holes that aret here /in the center of the side that are used to hold the plastic things/ and i used some kind of aluminium plates/can get from any construction shop...and pop-ribits....id make some pics but no camera to make the pics with..il post the pics someday when i get a new camera.
