JP Lip and S-tune sides/rear installed
 
Whats up guys.. just a few pics the wife and I took over the weekend.. FINALLY got my JP USA lip and Nismo S-Tune sides/rear valence pieces installed.. We took more pics as we were playing around with some lenses on the camera, but these were only ones that came out decent.. :(

S-tune pieces were from Dustin@Z1 and JP Lip was from Eric@Driveline. Thanks to both of you..

The S-tune stuff obviously, being that its made by Nissan, fit perfectly.. Super easy.. The JP Lip, being that its Urethane (Flexible, kinda like super hard Rubber) was a little more challenging.. But overall still came out pretty well..

I'll shut up now.. here's a few pics..

wow..that looks beautiful! :drool:. VERY nice man! I like the side ground effects a lot. The front lip looks great too. :tup: :tup:

Does the lip comes with the fangs or you painted fangs separately?

I sharpened the pics a little:

Looks Pretty Good! :yum:

6spd 06-14-2010 02:52 PM

hows the fitment of the front lip? any gaps at all?

Liquid_G 06-14-2010 03:15 PM

Thanks AK, as far as the fangs go no that's not part of the lip.. this sticks on just below that..

6spd, The fit is pretty good, but being that its flexible, its kind of a blessing and a curse at the same time.. I re-did some of the 3m tape that the lip came with, as the parts where it curves in towards the fangs wasn't sticking right.. That made it much better and cleaned up the little gap I had in that area.. Plus we has a short break of sunshine that heated the lip up and made it flex a little more and that seemed to help get itnto position.

looks good. that door handle is kinda bright.

zZSoCalZz 06-14-2010 03:33 PM

Supergoji 06-14-2010 03:36 PM

Honestly, I have no idea.. I'm on Stance GR+ Coilovers, I dropped it super low, started scraping like crazy and raised it back up a bit..

which doesn't even matter now because one of my FI CF mufflers is kinda smashed into an oval shape now from a bad dip in the road a few weeks ago. :mad: Never really noticed how bad it was till this past weekend.. but thats another thread..

I can measure my front/rear ride heights if you'd like...

ZPirate 06-14-2010 04:12 PM

The JP lip looks good with the Nismo sideskirts. I've been thinking about adding the Nismo sideskirts too. :tup: I have one of the first JP lips on my 370Z.

cdawg410 06-14-2010 04:14 PM

WTF, my Z looks nothing like that! That profile pic makes me feel like my z is the chubby kid with the perpetual stain on his shirt. Must bite your steez... me likey.... lots. Congrats

Hmm. Wonder how it would look molded to the bumper so the fangs blend in better...

Schwing!!!!!

Liquid_G 06-21-2010 10:50 AM

well guys.. got some bad news... the JP lip, after 1 day of hot sun and about 100 miles, has already started to fall off.. :( idk maybe thats just the way Urethane lips are but this really sucks.. the 3m tape on the sides and in the front near the fangs has peeled off the bumper and now have big gaps between the lip and body... And yes I made sure the area was perfectly clean, used alcohol on the area before I stuck it down..

not sure what I'm going to do, anyone have any ideas? is there a better adhesive I should be using? I feel like throwing this thing in the garbage..
