Making A Custom Lip For Evo IX
Whats up guys, so this past month i've been working on creating a lip for the evo ix. I wanted to make a lip that looks clean and simple, but out of plastic. I always hated the fact that there arent any good looking lips for the ix in plastic except the ralliart one, which im not a big fan of.
This lip that i am making is similiar in design to the chargespeed and apr, but will be made out of plastic. I made this thing completely from scartch. Started out by molding it out of clay, then fiberglassing it, and the only part left now is to recreate it in plastic similiar to abs.
Would like to know your opinion on it, and to see if anyone would possibly be interested in purchasing one. I am making this lip for personal use, but since i will have the mold, it would be nice to recoup some finances that ive spent on making it.
And one in the dark so you can see the lines better.
Looking forward to hearing your opinions.

Great work
I agree with you not many lips for the Evo 9's. Are you or have you been able todo a custom lip with the SE lip? This Evo 7 is bottom lip gives me an idea that could maybe be added to the SE lip.

No i haven't, but if this works out good i will look into making other lips, maybe get more complex where the lip would actually replace the oem one.

I know me myself and other friends of mine who own Evos always have tried to find a front lip splitter like the ARP but a tad bit thicker. Other then that keep us updated on your projects.

I think you have done a really good job there. I feel it looks a little unfinished on the corners, it could do with coming up over the corners of the bumper.
Other than that I like it.

Are you talking about like the chargespeed one? Where the sides look like winglets? I do agree about the sides being off a little, I was thinking about maybe chopping them down a little.
