my custom front lip concept, need your inputs Options

[HaRv3sTeR]

Ok..the deal: I want a front lip but i cant find one that really suits me. I want something clean and subtle that flush the front of the car with my OEM skirts but at the same time, i want something that is not too much.

The closest thing i found (in term of lip height) are the euro-spec front splitters:



..but still im not 100% into it and i want a "FULL" lip so my idea is to mod them by filling the middle. I made some photoshops to see what it might look like and im stunt with the results (ignore my poor skills):












im sure that any shop can do this easily....so i think my idea is realistic

now i have 2 questions:

1-I can have the OEM poly-rubber splitters or the replica fiberlgass one....which one do you think would be the easier to do this mod?

2-I plan later on to get a gt4 front bumper and hood....will my "custom" lip fill correctly the gt4 bumper? ( i know the splitters fit both...but maybe the shape/lenght/width of the gt4 bumper is different and might screw up the "full lip fitment)?

what do you guys think?


PS: hope the members which i use their car pic wont mind

If you only want a lip under the bumper and for the entire lenght you could try to find some STOCK underbumper lip even of other cars, they are usually in black ABS (afte you can always repaint it) and so more resistant then fiberglass kit.
The ABS in more elastic and that thing could permit you to adapte it (if too big or too long you coulc cut it in some geometric point for example in the middle). You must make a reasearch of car with similar dimensions of that ones of 6th gen celica.
