So yesterday, my front lip for my Z came off while I was on the FWY @_@’ I pulled over and was able to rescue it from the oncoming cars… pretty crazy stuff.

Anyways, seeing that I already bought 2 of these bad boys… I decided to just temporarily fix it so my car doesn’t seem like it’s missing something. I in no means want the lip to come out perfect or professional. I just wanted to have that thing back on there. SO yeah, it’s gonna look tacky as hell!

^I was reading about resin, bondo, re-fiberglassing the SOB… but I don’t need all that ish. I know this lip is going to get destroyed again so here was my ‘temporary fix’ idea. Hella painter’s tape and PLASTIDIP! W00t w00t!

^I missed a lot of spots on my first coat =P not a professional here!

^Hmmm I'm gonna have to color that black with a marker...

^not the greatest job, but it’s better than giant cracks all around it. Plus you can’t see it while rolling =)

Results:

Now off to the marketplace and get a replacement...
