hpw to fit stillen lip on 98 bumper
How do u do it, I've seen it done before. I have a chance to buy my old still brand new in box lip for 90 bucks. If its easy to do ill get it and paint my hood next month instead.

LoL..

I plan on making mine alot cleaner more shapely then molding it near future. My 98SER bumper/stillen lip is the only combo I've ever seen.

Chris did you ever fill in that middle part between the bumper and lip?

You know it won't take much.. But you know you could really re enforce the bottom with some sheet metal to go all the way across the bottom to keep it from bending and cracking while going up and down in to drive ways and such.

If I ever do it again.. I'm going to actually cut out the wiglets and form them to the sides of the bumper and make it look stock. Personally I think it would look better than a JDM bumper that way.

I used the metal you supplied me with and made brackets that I bolted to the chassis.
Has been working fine. I plan on doing something with it not sure yet.

Sometimes I wanna mold it into the bumper but I don't want it to end up cracking apart. Not too sure what I wanna do yet but either way I was looking into making some copies in CF.

Well you could honestly use fiber glass resin. Get a glue syringe and fill it up with the resin and fill up the cracks between the lip and the bumper sand down and there you go.

It's hard but fills nicely.

Yea but wouldn't it crack apart from the bumper if the lip ever gets bent?
