The high temp flat black paint and some silicone sealant only cost like 8-9 bucks. ![]() Thanks to the person who made the DIY guide here. I used it as a reference, but instead of a hairdryer, I used an oven. Baked the headlights at 255 degrees for 8 minute intervals until I was able to take the cover and headlight apart. |

A lip on a lip! Slightly off topic, but I really like the way those wheels look on your car. There was a set of those for sale over here but I didn't like the bronze color. The silver looks much better.

I wonder why. You can always add the lip/splitter I put on. It's made of rubber, so it shouldn't crack if you hit something there. It's not that big either, so it'll work just fine for your roads there (from what I've read here).

It makes your front end even lower and no worry for it to break, haha. For only $15, that is bang on the bucks.

hahaha, yeah, my gf thought I lowered it opposed to adding the lip. hehehe. It was kinda dark outside at the time tho, so may be that's why. And she's not a car person. lol.

Thanks. I attached the lip/splitter with double sided tape and quite a bit of self tapping screws and washers. Not for the faint of heart. This does require drilling into your bumper and/or lip.

So, breakdown and synopsis of HP Special Lip
:Tools required: -drill -at least 32 self tapping screws and washers -outdoor double-sided tape -jack and jack stands -ratchet and proper sockets (I remember using a 10, but I think I used something else, can't remember if it was for the bumper or for the headlights. I did both mods at the same time). Steps: 1. Jack up the car so that you can gain access to the bottom bolts easily. 2. Remove top "suicide screws" (the black things that I have no clue what they're called). 3. Remove the single bolts at the end of the bumper in the wheel arch. 4. Remove bottom bolts. 5. Pop out the sides of the front bumper. 6. Take out bumper. 7. Remove foglight if applicable. 8. Wash the bottom of the bumper or lip. 9. Apply said double-sided tape to the bottom of the bumper/lip following the curvature. I suggest trying to stay as far back from the tip as possible (hard to do with the S lip since there is not much surface area). Let cure onto bumper/lip. 10. Start applying the garage door seal (wider end to the aforementioned applied tape). 11. Can either put on the entire garage door seal on at one time, or start drilling the self tapping screws with washers in one at a time as you apply the seal onto the tape. Space out the screws 3-4 inches on the sides, and 4 inches elsewhere. *Don't go too near the "wall" side of the seal and don't screw in the screw too deep or else you'll get "bumps" or "waves" on the "lip/splitter". 12. Once everything is on the bumper and secured, put the foglights back on the bumper. 13. Put bolts/screws back in their proper places. 14. Lower the car off of the jack stands. 15. Admire. Total time: thinking it'll vary with your stamina and time of day. I did this at 2am. LOL. |

So you painted eyelids on to your lights? I've thought about doing this instead of spending 60 bucks on them or getting a type of vinyl/something that will hold up.
