MS6 grille + lip facelift

I decided to give the MS6 a bit of a facelift. I started by ordering:

All Fit Lip Kit with 1.5" lip, for front/rear bumpers:

Lip Kit For Cars | Traditional 1.5 Inch All-Fit Lip Kit

And Diamond XXL powder coat black grille mesh from customcargrilles.com

I pulled the front bumper off and got to work.

I was very impressed with the All Fit lip kit. It comes premade with that 3M tape and a bunch of screws/washers for a good install. It isn't that garage door stuff; it is a very solid but flexible lip material and it installed very nicely.

Next was the custom car grille mesh sheet. I watched a few of the guy's videos before trying this. You should too. I followed his instructions and got the grille mounted up and glued. Note, this is reversible and the stock grille could go back on if I wanted.

Here the grille is cut, mounted, bent to shape and glued to the bumper.



I knew my crashbar looked shitty, so I used some of that garage door stuff that people used to use for lips, and used double sided tape so when people look through the grille they don't see a mess, since the new grille is wide open.



Here's the bumper ready to go on with the all fit lip and grille



And here's a few pics of the setup, in and out of the sun.

 

It all looks pretty nice, but that black deal on the top of the bumper looks like a little Hitler.

Fitting.

 

Agree, like the changes but the hitler bumper doesnt work.

 

Now you've got me intrigued about how that all-fit would look on a juan. Did you do front bumper only or the side skirts/rear bumper also?

 

Guys, GOOD GOOD call on the bumper wrap. I knew something wasn't quite right also, and it was definitely the wrap.

Voila.

This looks SO much better.

 

Much better!

 

@dale_gribble , any intention on adding the lip to the side skirts?

 

Are you happy with the length of the lip? Would the next size up (2.5") be too much do you think?

 

Neg. Just the front was fine with me.

I think it could be too much. I've lightly scuffed this thing a few times already. The 2.5" brings the lip that much lower and further from the car.

 

Has anyone confirmed if this garage door lip stuff flaps around at all or looks pushed in when driving at highway speeds?

 

Bueller?

 

@dale_gribble ,where you at?

 

I thought Dale sold his MS6 and bought a toyota truck?

 

he did sell the car to i believe his brother in law, its probably riced out on cut springs by now

 

Well shit.
