So I have some really exciting news to share...

Hey guys,
As some of you may know, for the past few months I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to make a front lip for our cars. I did the Mugen one off the Integra, didn't care for it so I ditched it. Then I thought about making a clay mold by hand and fiberglassing over that, but the amount of labor really turned me off.
However, I have found a solution. There is a plastic company here in town (right by my work) that makes all sorts of custom stuff. I went in the other day and asked for a quote on a custom front lip and was thoroughly surprised by the response I got... probably around $50 + $60 for each hour of shaping they have to do. That means a lip for around $110. With a discount for group purchases.

So what I'm asking for, is designs from you guys. Just front lips, not whole bumpers. All designs are welcome in all forms (scanned drawings, 3d-models, whatever). Then I want to just make a poll with the best ones and we can all vote, then I'll set up a group buy and figure out a final price.

Bring it on!

Maybe we should just show them pictures of Japanese lips that we can't get here.

I mean those fuckers don't respect OUR copyrights.......

Good point.

Too bad there's little/no Japanese lips for G1 Legends.

They wouldn't have a problem with it.
And if they did, I could just make a "sketch" of the original image.
