Front Bumper Lip Refurbish
My 2000 Civic lip took some slight damage so I decided to refurb it. I am re-contouring some of the lines. It will be get a couple coats of polyester primer, urethane base coat and a few heavy coats of clear coat for durability. I have been scoping out paintable carbon fiber lips for the car and there aren't many choices. The Seibon lip is durable and would be an easy install, but I'm not wild about the look. Some day, I may purchase a complete body kit.

Polyester primer - 3 coats...
Primer went on smooth but barely flows through my 1.9 mm tip gun. I had to spray at close to 50 psi to get it to lay down smoothly. Primer still wet Tape removed. Sanding with 400 grit tomorrow and hopefully base coat and clearcoat. I added a mini HVLP gun to my collection and look forward to applying the basecoat and maybe clearcoat with it.

Base and clear applied
It turned out pretty decent. Not perfect, but pretty good. There is a very small ridge where I didn't get the taping perfect where the lip meets the bumper. It's almost unnoticeable. However, since it's all the same color and same clear coat, I can wet sand and polish to eliminate the line.

Very nice job! I've kept mine in plastic black cause I don't know if I want to keep it black or "color match". Yours is doing the same thing as mine, you can see it at the profile view, it curls up at the ends, it's not parallel to the ground. I want to unmount mine and make it parallel to the ground, right now only held by rivets.

I am considering having the car professionally painted. I've been looking at body kits but have yet to find something that really appeals to me. Obviously, I would get the kit and send it along to the body shop.

My two cents is that as-is, or leveled, it looks good. Can play it either way.

Thanks, Ernie! If I were doing it again, I'd likely try to get it level. Am I going to remove it and level it? Unlikely. It would be an astronomical amount of work, especially since I'd have to do a lot of body work to repair the area that it's currently attached to.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Bumpe...4AAOSwIBJaXmBF EDIT: After looking at it again, I feel that the recesses/holes in this lip might get distorted badly as it's curved to meet the Yaris bumper. It think it would be very difficult to maintain their shape as it wraps around the gentle curves of the Yaris bumper cover.

I like that. How much did you have to cut off each end?
