DGM PU Lip Test Fit & Pic
 

Well, I got the DGM front lip for my xmas gift to myself.
I brought it in to work today, since I have to rotate my tires and all that good stuff.

Ignore the ill fitment, I have not put on the double sided tape or the 2 screws that came w/it yet. :)

^ look'n good :)

looks bad-ass man, you going to paint it or leave it flatblack?

Flat black for now....but I plan on doing this:

your gonna paint the sides and leave the center black?
that would have a nice look to it, could possibly make it "look" like a whole new front bumper.

looks real good tho, i like!

Yessir. That's the idea.
:evilgrin:

I wonder what painting the center of the stock bumper on a protege would look like if only the middle "grill" part of the bumper were painted...

cant wait to see how it turns out, I WANT PICS!!, lol...no rush or anything but..HURRY UP!

Quick question.

Are you just wanting it to be painted?

or are you going for the "make it blend in" body kit look?

just ccurious b/c it looks like some of those edges would be difficult to get perfect.

I miss my lip ... I had that same one but I nailed a curb :tear:

Looks good man, but, get it painted before I get back or I'll have to slap you. I'm not a big fan of the unpainted body kit look.

LOL.
GhettoPro - Painted for sure...molded would be a bonus. But, I'd have some other things to do like shave the rear door handles, the roof antenna and get the holes filled on the trunk (I can get the FAMILIA badge and double side tape it)...if I wanted to.
KrayzieFox - I'm being extremely careful.
Miller - Painting it cost dollars....I could do it myself*.


*Hmmmmmmm........Spring time poor-ject.

Those bumpers can be pretty hard to keep in one piece..

I got a buddy who has a 96 Honda Accord on some black 17's with chrome lips

Full body kit..well..used to be....He put an air-rod system on his car, he crucnhes side skirt literly when he drops it he can be driving down the road and slam it and you see sparks fly from the extra metal on his dual exhuast...

his front bumper is a little scard...but his rear bumper and I quote what he said "its in about 23 pieces"

so...yeah..you SHOULD be fine unless you do an air bag system...

I love that front Lip....Hott

It looks really nice now that I have it properly attached. I drove my buddy to Best Buy last night and some guy was walking in w/his gf and they were both rubbernecking pretty hard.

I think you might end up with problems if you tried to blend it in with the front bumper, mainly if you hit something. The way DGM molds it the lip blends pretty well with the existing front bumper. The real test will be when I put mine on my sedan, since they only make them specifically for the P5 I will have to get creative.

Yeah...that's going to be tough for you.

Here's what 'The Panda' looks like now.

How ever did I miss this thread???

Beware of The Panda.

makes it look alot "sportier" if thats even a word..

Wait til I get the hood.
And yes, I still plan on putting a small Panda sticker on the car somewhere...lol.

Hey, that looks kinda familiar!

Damn dude it does look like a panda, haha.

Ha ha...niiice. But you ended up getting yours painted right?
Yezzir!

I was thinking of getting some white paint and some masking tape and doing some painting today.


But, it's 36* outside.....so NO FUUGIN' WAY!

Yeah, Cold weather tends to suck when working on a car..

Its really to bad you cant get a custom "Protege5" Logo and have a ProtegePanda log, like have the word Protege and a design of a panda beside it...that would be cool.

Never, ever say never.
But, you just gave me an idea.....we'll see if it becomes a reality later this year.

Yay! My random thought pattern become useful!

See The Panda in the wild....taken yesterday @ Lake Martin, Al.

Wow, thats a very clean looking car...

the car looks pretty dang mean, but thats a good thing..

Phil says "Yeah, this panda runs with Subarus in the wild"

My sentiments exactly! Looks really hawt man! I can't wait to get my ride fixed up! I started a small business so hopefully that'll pull through...and when I say small, I mean SMALL.
