I like where this is going, al right..., lol, no but seriously, it looks like its going to turnout grrrrreat!, but you are going to spend at least 50$ on fiverglass, atleast 1 layer, right? and a can of glossy red spraypaint WAIT on Pepboys/Autozone they have sprays that matches you car for under 5$
just giving you some affordable ideas...

Why would you ever suggest such a thing? I'm sorry that the man doesn't have much money, but making his car look even crappier isn't going to help.

If you want your car to look good, why don't you spend the little bit of money that you get here and there and save up for REAL products. I'm not one to tell you not to make your own lip, but I'd be a damned idiot if I was going to tell you that's your first priority. Take off the V8 badge, get a decent paint job.. and stock or not.. get some freakin wheels.

I usually never suggest this option... but since you're on a tight budget, get the $200 paint job at Maaco and do your own primer and body work. You're going to blow at least that much on this front lip thing, and this would help your car MUCH more than this.

I understand you want to spice up your ride. But, make it a RIDE first before you try to spice it up. If you don't have the budget for it now, I'd suggest to just work on essentials until you do.

thanks for the sugestion SinisterSinner!


and as far as Casterol! listen bro unlike you! i don't have money to redo my entire car. I'm pretty sure that every one here would do just more than a lil paint job and sticker if we had tons of money. I'm doing this cause i like to do things on my own. if there's one thing I've learned in the past couple of months is that you cant depend on other ppl to help. REMEMBER the ppl your dealing with online COULD be scamers (I'm not saying all of them are) but would you drop 200-300 dollars on a lip from somebody you dint know??? listen over all I DONT CARE what anyone says about what I'm doing, I'm just having fun and its my car and i do as I please. (NO Offence)

And this is when I realized you didn't listen to a damned thing I said...

Never once did I said it was a bad thing you didn't have money. So before you accuse me of things, how about you READ my post first. I was actually being helpful. Imagine that. I promise, it'll be the last time for you.
