There are probably pictures somewhere of one. I remember a Alero with a body kit that had a carbon fiber lip.

:haha: Your buddy did NOT have a good idea. And Im pretty sure if you try to make a front lip spoiler out of garden supplies.. You will get flamed hard.

Anywho..

Post pics when complete!! :p :dink: <---- this lil guy doesnt get used enough!

That is the car I was thinking of. I had the same idea of sticking a lip on a stock bumper but everyone thought it wouldn't look good.

^^I personally think the lips look better on kits with "flat" bottoms. With the stock being kinda rounded it off, I'd have to agree with the others. But on the ###, it looks great. May even look good on the OSV

Doing a carbon fiber front splitter with the mounts crossed my mind quite a few times with the AAS kit. Don't think it would look too good, not willing to spend money to simply test fit it in place to make sure it looks alright. I'll photoshop one on later to see if it'd look gay.

Ive seen it done with off road trucks before as well.....

but for the lip.....no way to chessy. I was thinking thow, there must be some lips out there that can be modded to fit or the universal lips extremem dinensions sells. But i dont think they would look good on a stock bumper.

But to each is to own and make the car what you want it to be....

Cant say I really like the way that looks

it doesn't look good on that Alero (that already looks terrible) they posted

but i'm thinkin if the braces were mounted up on the sides of the kit inner center area rather than the bottom (dumb) it would look alright. if you get the right lip to match the bumper. i'ma photoshop it later.

I remember that car, too much rice, but the owner is hot, so it's a balance ;)

do it better, i didn't have much time, and chose a bad starting picture (i don't like the angle of that shot at all)

why does your front grill angle backwards?

Yeah, it would look really good on the OSV. Especially laid out
