i think if your going to mold it would look good as long as they flush it into the bumper so it looks like 1 piece. i've always wondored when soneone do try this same method with the Wald add on kit i think it would look so pimp... go for it man..

I say try it out with some more aggressive sides / rear (I think you have L-tuned now). That Greddy is pretty low, maybe Veilside Exec sides/rear?? Just shooting ideas at you. Good luck

personally i wouldn't, coz' you can never take it off again, that's hard to sell later on, both for the lip and the car

thanks guys .... well I dont plan on selling my car so i dont think i have to worry about taking it off...Im gonna drive it till the wheels fall off......as far as the side skirts.. it blends in fine to me I think ....what I really need is a rear bumper and I guess Lsportline rear is out..right? so I might stay stock rear bumper for a while.. but I let you guys know what i decide to do



thanks guys

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but never got around to it. Just make sure to use epoxy to bond the bumper with the lip since you will scape your lip every once in a while. With just moulding it in, you will see cracks at the seems after awhile.

Umm personally I think you should do it....why? because I already did. and it looks ...well ill let you see how it flows from a sideview.... oh yeah...consider this a "teaser" haha...

Edit - sorry lexism...i didnt mean to thread-jack you,....just wanted to point out i got rid of the bumper light also...it looks cleaner...you might wanna think about that.

Wow, nice look Panda. I guess I'm psychic, I just knew the Veilside Exec sides / rear would flow nicely!

the car is outstanding to say the least.. with it that low and the low hanging lip i guess to have to stop and move each rock no pebble out the way so you dont rub over it

haha Andy... I saw this thread and I was waiting to see if you were going to post or not. The car looks great and yes, he is running air suspension (not giving anything else away) but you can tell...

Those are L Tuned sides too just to clarify with the Veilside Exec rear, not Veilside sides.

Not to thread jack, but Panda's car looks sweet.

I have been contemplating the same thing with my Wald lip. Now what basic things does one need to know to find a qualified shop to do this ? Should any body shop be able to do this?
