85-86 front lip

RIOT · 05-15-2009, 10:52 PM

anyone brought an 85-86 front lip back from the dead or found something else to use in its place? i like my 86 bumper better than the 87.

ill get pics as soon as my cam is back but im sure you will know exactly what im talking about. the lip it self is one big wavy mess. even with a heat gun and some pressure i couldnt get the lip to budge at all back to anything straight looking.

My old front used to have the same thing and it was sagging like it was about to fall apart, then the unfortunate happened and had to be replaced with other parts. The front no longer has a lip, and the truth is, it actually looks fine without it. Just thought I let you guys know. I didn't even think about that at the time, but I don't mind it not being there, just take a look a the pictures of my car and you can see what that looks like without it.
